[Equest-users] Interpreting SIM reports

Nick, 
I wonder if the CAPACITY-RATIO keyword might be having an effect?  I’m scanning the Dictionary.

The figure 5,625.126 kBtu/hr (469 tons) aligns with my expectations for peak load on the loop, where nominal capacity of the associated chillers on this loop are in the same ballpark (one is 444 tons and one is 210 tons on paper & @ design conditions, and I’m told they commonly do not need to engage the smaller chiller during the dead of summer).
