<p class="MsoNormal">I was able to successfully model air-cooled screws using the spreadsheet I attached, but the issue I'm running into with the water-cooled centrifugals is that the capacity provided by the rep does not change as a result of entering condenser
water temperature. KW changes, but tonnage does not. This creates an unrealistic curve for CAPFT and EIRFT.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm at the mercy of the reps to provide this data and so far I have struck out. I was just curious if there was something I'm missing. Does something need to be held constant that will allow the capacity to change based on entering condenser
water temperature and leaving chilled water temperature?<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">On a similarly frustrating note... I'm trying to come up with a workaround to model series chillers in eQuest with free cooling on the upstream chiller. From reading the DOE manual it seems waterside economizer won't do what I need it to
since I can't be in WSE and supplementing with the downstream chiller. I considered combining performance of the two chillers into one machine, but I haven't totally figured out how that will work.

the data you need. Key to this for reasons I don’t recall is that the reps need to generate at least 10 data points of full load data at different chilled and condenser water temperatures in order to map the chiller. You will also need several part load
data points at different water temps also. If you give the reps the blank data sheet they should be able to run their software to generate the data you need.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I have been using eQuest to evaluate chiller performance for retrofit projects. I have not had a problem modeling air-cooled, but I can't seem to get the data from the reps that
I would like for water-cooled centrifugal projects. I have settled on using standard curves for CAPFT and EIRFT and using a cubic curve with coefficients created through a curve fit in excel for EIRFPLR.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The manufacturers reps aren't able to produce a capacity or EIR curve as a function of temperature (entering condenser water temp). Has this been everyone's experience with this.
