[Equest-users] Can Super heat be recovered from DX condensers in eQuest?

[John Aulbach]

 Seems to work for supplementing DHW but not space heating (although it seems to indicate it can in the inputs).
Still playing with it.

John, for what it’s worth, I haven’t been able to get this to actually work in any of the recent versions so please share if you’re successful.

Thank you, Phil. I will play with this.

Hi John,
 
 
 
I haven’t done this, but it does look like eQUEST has this capability.
 
 
 
If you search the DOE2 dictionary (e.g.,https://doe2.com/Download/DOE-22/DOE22Vol2-Dictionary_48r.pdf) for “superheat”, you should see it appear a few times, with relevant information appearing in the COOL-WASTE-HEAT keyword and related keywords:
 

 
Be sure to read through the related keywords, though, as it appears to have different capability depending on system type; e.g., see WASTE-HEAT-USE:
 
               
 
 
 
To access these keywords within eQUEST, see the “Cap Curves/Waste Ht” tab within the “Heating” tab of an air-side HVAC system:
 

 
 
 
Best,
 
 
 
Phil Jordan

EXTERNAL email. Please exercise caution. This e-mail is from a sender outside of CLEAResult. Do not click any links or open any attachments from unknown senders or unexpected email. ***************************************************
 
And can it be used to preheat either domestic hot water or space heat?
 
 
 
Thanks in advance.
