<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I’m new to energy modeling with eQUEST and am trying to build a
model for a community center consisting of a library, a pool and an ice rink.
We are hoping that we can use rejected heat from the ice plant in the rest of
the building. I’ve begun entering the ice plant data into the
program; however, when describing the brine loop we are running into a bit of
trouble. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

We expect the brine pump head to be
60ft. We tried to input this value but eQUEST only allows a brine head value
that is =/< 40ft. Have others encountered this same problem?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

We are having trouble attaching a
chiller/heat pump to the brine loop. Ideally we’d like to have the brine
loop run off some water-to-water heat pumps that supply the hot water loop but
we haven’t figured out how to go about this<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I can get this? It may help solve these and other issues. I have
