I have a model of a refrigerated warehouse in the refrigeration version of eQUEST. It is running in version 7174 currently.
<br>
<br>
I am trying to add a mechanical subcooler to the model. I can add the subcooler keywords, the PS-H for the subcooler is generated but so far despite many control keyword iterations, I am seeing no load on the subcooler and no impact on the refrigeration system
with its inclusion in the model.<br>
<br>
Currently, my inputs are:<o:p></o:p></p>

Has anyone successfully added mechanical subcooling to a refrigeration version simulation?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
