[Equest-users] Dual Duct with package Cooling

Tue Jun 14 14:27:58 PDT 2022

Thank you. Melissa, I think you hit the nail on the head. I am AMAZED that eQuest cannot formally do DX dual duct. Those systems certainly DO exist. Just never noticed the omission before in the program.

I replied too fast the multi zone is only DX will not allow CHW.

However this is not thermally equivalent to Dual Duct where you can cool one zone while heating the other with out reheating.

Does it let you pick DX for the multizone AHU type?

Hi John

If by packaged Cooing you mean Air Cooled DX then, how about trying:

   - Dual Duct system w. CHW
   - “Chiller” =  Air cooled with appropriate compressor type (recip or scroll) and count
   - Pump power = 0
   - CHW supply temperature = ~ DX evaporator T

Good luck

A friend of mine asked me about such a system. I looked it up, and lo and behold, eQuest doesn't this as a system.

Is there any equivalent system that can dynamically mimic this?

Thanks,
