[Equest-users] Refrigeration version - mechanical subcooler

I remember this being tricky to add. Check out the “Hierarchy Rules” (step 9) on page 9 of the DOE2 Refrigeration Dictionary:
http://doe2.com/download/doe-22/DOE22Vol2r-DictionaryRefrigeration.pdf
(Looks like the doe2.com site is down so I’ve attached the relevant pages.)

Also attached are my notes on how I had simulated mechanical subcooling in prior models (in an earlier version of eQUEST – v3.61b, I think – but hopefully should still apply to the latest version).

I have a model of a refrigerated warehouse in the refrigeration version of eQUEST.  It is running in version 7174 currently.

I am trying to add a mechanical subcooler to the model.  I can add the subcooler keywords, the PS-H for the subcooler is generated but so far despite many control keyword iterations, I am seeing no load on the subcooler and no impact on the refrigeration system with its inclusion in the model.

Currently, my inputs are:


"Subcooler 1" = SUBCOOLER
   TYPE             = MECHANICAL
   ATTACH-TO        = REFG-SYSTEM
   REFG-SYSTEM      = "Refrigeration System"
   CAPACITY         = {#PA("Subcool Cap TR")*3413}
   DESIGN-SUBCOOL-T = 40
   SST-SUBCOOL-TD   = {60}
   SUPERHEAT-DT     = {101-90}
   TEMP-CTRL        = SATURATION-DT
   SATURATION-DT    = 40
   SUCTION-CIRCUIT  = "Low Temp Suction Circuit"
   ..
"Subcool liquid circuit" = REFG-CIRCUIT
   TYPE             = LIQUID
   ATTACH-TO        = SUBCOOLER
   SUBCOOLER        = "Subcooler 1"
   ..

Has anyone successfully added mechanical subcooling to a refrigeration version simulation?

Many thanks,

Brian
