<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Dear All:</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I am trying to model a ground loop heat pump system in equest, but I keep getting the following errors: " WLHP loop: Ground Loop has exceeded a hi/low alarm limit and will shut down associated HVAC equipment for the hour. Loop T: 17.91 Limit: 20.00. Verify that alarm limits are reasonable, verify primary equipment sizing, especially ground-loop heat-exchangers, and verify that the HP performance curves are suitable for the intended operating range." as well as "Ground-loop HX: Ground Loop Heat Exchanger 1 is undersized for the load and is producing an extreme temperature of -4F."</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Since the design is a closed loop system (vertical pipes) I have created a GLHE of type 'Vertical Well-Sweden G-function', connected to a circulation loop of the type 'water loop heat pump'. I have also inserted the GSHP curves from DOE 22. I'm not sure if the problem is the parameters I have defined in the model, or from the way I have set things up in EQUEST. I would really appreciate it if someone with more experience than me can help me out with my problem.</div>
