Detailed Edit. The system I want to model is a packaged unit to be added to a
DOAS. This unit contains proprietary desiccant wheels and heaters. It has
performance curves. I wish to make performance curves and activate them in the
Detailed Edit mode Packaged Desiccant tab. The curves that I made show up as
selectable in the Packaged Desiccant tab, along with other curves, but I
can’t get any of these curves to appear as a selected in the Packaged
Desiccant tab. I can’t get any of the curves selections that show up in
the drop down menus on this tab to select, either. I also can’t access
the library or create selection that shows up in the drop down menu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>I'm not quite sure what you are getting at or want to do. Speculating
I would assume you are working with outside air and heat recovery. If
that is the case, in the DD wizard, under the air side HVAC tab right click on
your system, select properties. Go to outdoor air, heat recovery 1, ERV
device installed, select yes, in the pop-up select enthalpy wheel. You
can also select stand alone in one of the tabs as well. There are various
performance items you can specify, and I would assume Equest would then allow
you to select a performance curve as well.<br>

can do that, and indeed I activated the the liquid heat pump option to get some
idea what kind of dew point I was looking for. But that is not really what I
want and the solid desiccant doesn't option doesn't have curves you can adjust

work either? Anyone else have success?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I could not enable the packaged desiccant curves but setting
the "maximum humidity" value on the basics tab of the system enables
the Desiccant Performance Curves and you can set your add on desiccant type to
Solid Vent Air 1 and select the appropriate control mode/configuration to
(hopefully) give you the closest system.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

anybody know how to activate the Packaged Desiccant option in eQuest? I have
created some curves that I think might work and they show up as part of the
possible selectable curves when I click on the Packaged Desiccant Tab
curves individually, but I can't get the Design Wizard to select this curve or
indeed, any curve from the possible list that appears. What am I missing? Some
other part of another tab that needs to be activated? If so, where? I just
assumed that this option worked and if I could make curves, I could use it.
Maybe it doesn't work? If this is true, I am going to be peeved.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
