Minimum temperature from the chiller outlet should be as low as (-)10 oC, The range of the leaving CW Temp is set 0 to 20. Is it safe to modify the range to meet the low temperature and get valid performance? The Included Chillers.idf have the curves with even narrower temperature range with the minimum around 4 oC.
I am getting some errors and I suspect they might be due to this limitation.
