[Equest-users] Dual Duct with package Cooling

John

It often seems that reality was not the prime mover in the design of eQuest.

I could name several other system types that have similar limitations.

Maybe it would not be interesting if we didn't have to come up with cleaver work arounds.

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,
