<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’ve had a similar experience with 3.64 when I have a lot of zones assigned to a system, and then adding heating recovery.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If you let the model sit long enough, 5-10 minutes, it should recover and issue a warning about making too many changes. The changes go through, I just don’t think it lets you undo them, or something like that.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This does become annoying if you have multiple systems with energy recovery. I would use the approach of copying the ER code in the .inp file and pasting it appropriately to the other AHU’s to save time.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’ve had the 6F error come up in VAV systems when I have a very high flow rate, and relatively little load. For example, maintaining 20 air changes per hour in a hospital operating room when the schedule has
reduced loads while there is no surgery being performed. Also, if you have an elevated chilled water temp, ~58F, this may be the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am assuming that you are in the detailed edit mode. I would try to add the energy recovery in the .inp file. If you don’t have a different project that you can copy the energy recovery from, create a new project
in the wizard and add energy recovery to the HVAC system and copy and paste from that .inp file. Once you copy the energy recovery to the system, you should be able to open eQUEST and make any necessary changes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">All, I am attempting to add energy recovery (heat pipe) to my system, which is VAV reheat, one system per site. The file locks up. Before I attempted to add this, the building was compiling just fine, but I had attempted to run the baseline
and it had given me an error that the cooling coil leaving temperature needed to be 6 F higher than entering water temp. I had tried lowering the entering chw temp, but it still wasn’t converging. So I was attempting to add energy recovery (which the system
will have, though I was trying not to add it in the baseline to simulate App G baseline). The system is high percent outdoor air (0.81). Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing the file to lock when trying to add the ER? Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
