Whenever an error occurs during simulation, you should open the
project's simulation output file ("<project name> - Baseline
Design.SIM") and search for "*ERROR*". If you do so you will find the
following error listed for your project:<br>
<tt>***ERROR***********************************************************************<br>
Ground-loop HX: GLHX (VertWell-CM) <br>
is undersized for the load and is producing an extreme<br>
temperature of -1F. Mon/Day/Hr: 1/ 1/ 2</tt><br>
<br>
This should not be too surprising since eQUEST does not perform any
automatic sizing of ground loop heat exchangers and you have not
specified any sizing information in the wizard. If you pull up Item
Help on one of the GLHX size properties in the wizard you will find
additional information along these lines.<br>
<br>
Not having the time to experiment to find a right-sized GLHX, I cranked
the Num. of Identical Well Fields (from 1) up to 50, re-ran the
simulation and it simulated w/ no errors.<br>
