<p class=MsoNormal>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have another post waiting on moderator approval due to the
file attachments but I have run into some issues that I can’t figure out what’s
happening. I am working in 3.63b.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am working on a mid rise condo building going for LEED
certification. For my baseline ASHRAE App G calls for PTHP (PTAC in eQuest)
with a constant volume fan. I have selected all of the appropriate parameters
in the wizard mode (auto-size flow, cv fan, etc. ) however when I switch
to detailed edit the systems show up as a two-speed fan. To add to my
confusion, the SS-R report shows hours across the spectrum in the part
load ranges. I have 4 main systems all set up to be system per zone.
There are about 64 zones that these systems serve.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I started working on my proposed model – using residential
split system heat pump systems. In wizard mode I specified systems types,
flows, capacities etc. Now when I run the model the systems come up as PVVT and
eQuest seems to be auto-sizing the flowrate because I get errors that the supply
air flowrate is less than 10 CFM. When I check the flow parameters in detailed
edit the zones are all across the board in their supply air quantities rather
than being the specified flow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I uninstalled eQuest and re-installed it with no luck in
fixing anything. Has anyone else run into any of these issues or know of any
fixes short of going into detailed edit and changing every system (70+ in my
case).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My PD2 and INP files will show up later when the moderator
hopefully releases them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
