to tell you what the full load (and part load) capacities of the machine are with the lift conditions you specified. So, for higher lift conditions, the machine will have lower capacities. He doesn’t need to match the capacity you selected the chiller at
to all the lift conditions you specify.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think I am hitting a roadblock here, trying to get the necessary data to model the chillers. I have gone through the EDR document on simulating HVAC systems and other posts on modeling chillers here on the mailing list. I think I can

5% higher capacity than design capacity. Beyond this he will need to change the expansion device in his selection software to get the total capacity. I don't believe changing the expansion device is the right way to go.<o:p></o:p></p>

points from the manufacturer are required for eQUEST to generate the curves if you select this method. The other is to generate your own curves. Many years ago when I used to work in VisualDOE, I found the calculation methodology to define chiller curves
from the Pacific Gas & Electric web site, which I used to set up a spreadsheet to calculate the curve coefficients. This was originally set up for constant speed chillers. A number of months ago I added a spreadsheet tab to handle variable speed chillers.
To create the 3 sets of curve coefficients, at least 10 full load data points at different chilled and condenser water temperatures were required from the manufacturer in order to map the compressor. There was no max or min limit for the part-load data points
as I recall.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
