<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am trying to model a chilled water heat pump using the “loop to loop” approach and have reached a point where I know not where to go…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The rules call for the heat pump condenser to be linked to a Lake/Well loop. The system also has boilers attached to the system preheat coil and to the zone reheat coils, in a sort of supplemental format for
when the HP chiller cannot meet set points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I can create all the loops, with associated pumps, yet the lake/well loop requires a heat source. I cannot determine how to do that (after hours and hours!), or if I am missing something.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Does anyone know of a procedure for modeling this situation (besides the eQUEST help pages)? I wonder if the boilers may be part of the issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
