client wants to add a vertical geothermal heat exchanger to a facility
that presently uses a conventional WSHP-Tower-Boiler. We are required to
produce a LCCA. I would like to perform this analysis using eQuest. I have
seen some talk of these systems in the archives but nothing explicit. Can
this system be modeled using eQuest? Meaning can eQuest model the insertion of
a heat exchanger from a cooling tower tied into the geo loop?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
