I suppose eQUEST just doesn’t include those input fields for loop-to-loop heat pumps, but DOE will use them if you enter them. I can’t speak to whether or not the default loop-to-loop heat pump curves are appropriate for my equipment, but given the limited information we routinely receive, I think that they will have to do.<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'>To summarize, I was trying to enter the specific conditions that my heat pump was rated at to ensure that the heat pump plant’s performance adjusted appropriately for loop temperature resets and part load operation. Unfortunately with a loop-to-loop heat pump, eQUEST does not allow you to specify the conditions at which it is rated. Fortunately however, it appears that you can enter the appropriate code manually in the INP file and get your heat curves normalized to the right temperatures, rather than the default “Eurovent” conditions, which I was unable to find (in 5 minutes on the Eurovent website).<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'>Specifically, I added three lines (DESIGN-CHW-T, DESIGN-COND-T, and SPECIFIED-AT):<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'>"WWHP-1" = CHILLER <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> TYPE = LOOP-TO-LOOP-HP<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='color:red'> DESIGN-CHW-T = 34.9<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='color:red'> DESIGN-COND-T = 110<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='color:red'> SPECIFIED-AT = DESIGN-CONDITIONS<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> CAPACITY = 0.150574<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> ELEC-INPUT-RATIO = 0.4762<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> CHW-LOOP = "Chilled Water Loop"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> CHW-PUMP = "P-14"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> CHW-DT = 5.1<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> HW-LOOP = "Hot Water Loop"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> HW-PUMP = "P-13"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> CW-LOOP = "Ground Source Water Loop"<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'>If anyone sees a problem with this method, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Riley Beise</span></b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>, P.Eng., BEMP, LEED Green Associate</span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Energy Analyst</span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#17365D'>AME Consulting Group</span></b><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:green'>501 - 134 Abbott Street</span></b><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:green'>Vancouver, BC, V6B 2K4</span></b><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:green'>p. 604-684-5995</span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Bishop, Bill [mailto:bbishop@pathfinder-ea.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, February 07, 2013 6:37 AM<br><b>To:</b> Riley Beise; equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: Loop to Loop Heat Pump EIR - SPECIFIED-AT?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Riley,<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'>The DOE2 help topic for “Loop-to-Loop Heat-Pump” mentions (at the very bottom) that “the performance curves are normalized at the Eurovent rating conditions”.
