<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">My first observation is you will have to use DOE-2.2 rather than DOE-2.3 in eQUEST. While the heat recovery keywords are implemented in DOE-2.3, it is not recovering
heat to the hot water loop in build 7175 (DOE2.3-50h). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Specifying heat recovery on a chiller – either air cooled or water cooled – is done by adding the loop that the heat will be recovered to the HTREC-LOOP keyword.
You will be prompted for what percentage of the condenser heat is available for heat recovery (i.e. is it desuperheat which might be 25% or condensing heat recovery where almost all the heat is available).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The MAX-RECOVER-T is the highest temperature that will be recovered. You will likely want to set this to 120°F. If the return water temperature of the heating
loop that you are recovering to exceeds this value, you will not recover any heat to the loop. Whether this is an issue with your DHW system will depend on the amount of recirculated water in the loop. With no recirculation the chiller would always recover
heat to the DHW loop however I can envision a situation where the recirculation flow is set too high increasing the return water to the DHW heater above the MAX-RECOVER-T preventing heat recovery. If you are not seeing heat recovery from the chiller, you
may want to create an hourly report on the loop that heat is being recovered to and look at the loop temperature returning to the plant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
