I am modelling a new construction in eQUEST that uses a fairly new product that I have not seen before. I was wondering if anyone has any experience modelling this Equipment:
It is a remote air cooled chiller (the chiller is in the basment but the condenser is on the roof 4 floors up). It uses frictionless magnetic bearings, it has 2 compressors and it has an option for water side free cooling which I can't seem to find any documentation on how it works exactly.
In eQUEST, I know that I cannot combine an air cooled chiller with the water side economizer option since I need a condenser loop for the water side economizer and I don't think eQUEST has any built-in performance curves for an air-cooled magnetic centrifugal chiller with 2 compressors.
Does anyone have any ideas of the best way to model this?
