I have a new Chiller Curve question/situation. I have created a custom chiller curve for the EIR = f(PLR) as a cubic function using the following data inputs:<div><br></div><div>1 .3313</div><div>.75 .2437</div>
<div>.5 .2201</div><div>.25 .1928</div><div><br></div><div>From my understanding, the chiller curve seems correct. However, when i create a hourly report summary for the Corrected Chiller EIR and compare it to the default EIR equation for this entry, i get 0.034 for the default and 0.072 for my curve at 25% ratio. Why is it that the default is better than my curve? I have looked at the equation for the default entry and got the following equations:</div>
<div><br></div><div>EIR = a + b x = c x^2</div><div>a = .04812248</div><div>b = .69573420</div><div>c = .23493889</div><div><br></div><div>at 25% this equation results in 0.2367, and my equation gets 0.1928</div><div><br>
</div><div>Is there any other calculations going on in the background that is causing some problems? I have attached an excel snapshot of the different EIR and the corrected EIR values for two different chillers in my program. Neither is currently using the default EIR = f(PLR) curves, they are using custom curves.</div>
