When eQuest auto-sizes the chiller, it is significantly over-sizing the capacity. My equipment load report (PS-C) is showing that the load on the chiller is approximately 179 Tons (2157 kbtu/hr) , but for some reason eQuest is auto-sizing the chiller at approximately 504 Tons (6.052 mbtu/hr). As a result, the auto-sized chiller runs at very low part load ranges all the time.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>According to the eQuest Detailed Simulation Reports Summary, the chiller capacity should be much closer to the peak load reported in the PS-C report. This is not the case for my model for some reason. Can somebody please take a look at my model (attached) and help me determine why the auto-sizing is behaving the way that it is?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Your help is much appreciated,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><b><span style='font-size:8.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#244061'>Jason Curtis, Mechanical Engineer I BVH Integrated Services, Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#262626'>50 Griffin Road South, Bloomfield, CT 06002 <b>I</b> 860.286.9171 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#262626'>One Gateway Center, Suite 701, Newton, MA 02458 <b>I</b> 617.658.9008 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#262626'><a href="http://www.bvhis.com/"><span style='color:#262626;text-decoration:none'>bvhis.com</span></a> I <a href="www.twitter.com/bvhis "><span style='color:#262626;text-decoration:none'>twitter.com/bvhis </span></a><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
