How do I troubleshoot a water-cooled condenser with no flow?
I am attempting to model a refrigeration cycle with a water cooled condenser but am having troubles. The system runs however the results show that there is no mass flow of water through the loop.
It is a simple box building with 1 walk-in refrigeration case and 1 compressor. The model works with air-cooled condenser, but the water cooled condenser however does not show any water flow or pump power.
I have also tries to plot pump power of the water loop and this also shows zero. I cannot seem to trouble shoot this system, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have the water cooled condenser attached to the demand side of a plant loop with a pump, a cooling tower, and a setpoint manager on the supply side?
aparker, thank you for the response.
Yes, I have a water cooled condenser on the Demand side and a pump, variable speed cooling tower and set point manager on the supply side. I have also taken a screen shot of the loop. Is there any way for me to post it for reference? Sorry, I am brand new to Unmet hours community. Thanks again.
I am using OpenStudio Version 1.8.0
