2018-01-29 14:56:17 -0500 | marked best answer | How to model a Unitary System with one coil Hello, I want to model a water-cooled self-contained unit by E+ and each unit includes a supply fan, a DX coil and a condenser. And there is a cooling tower to supply the condensing water to the unit. Since I'm considering to model each component separately, I'm going to use a Coil:Cooling:WaterToAirHeatPump:EquationFit to model the DX coil. But it needs to be wrapped into a separate AirLoopHVAC:Unitary System based on the existing answers to the questions here here and here. Anyone know if we still do that? If so, how to set up the coil and the unitary system? Could anyone provide me an example? Thanks! |

2016-11-30 12:39:49 -0500 | asked a question | How to Model a Two Compressors Chiller Recently, I'm modeling a two compressors chiller by EnergyPlus. After reading all the relevant documents, I still did't find anything about multiple compressors. Based on my understanding, the capacity will be changed when the number of working compressors changes. But it will be hard to change the capacity curve in this situation. Does anyone know anything about it? Thanks! |
2016-11-09 11:22:25 -0500 | commented answer | Higher COP values then reference COP @rkbest, here is the definition. http://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs... |
2016-11-09 11:21:45 -0500 | commented answer | Higher COP values then reference COP Hey @rkbest, Does the values showed above is the annual average number?It's better to check the hourly value for the whole year. Since I only used the Chiller:Electric:EIR as I mentioned, I'm not sure what does the Chiller:ReformulatedEIR works. Probably the 1st step is to check the rule of "The curve should have a value of 1.0 at the reference temperatures and flow rates specified." And then, read the definition of these 3 curves, which may provides the reasonable range. It is also good to double check the design data for the chiller to make sure all the temperature and flow rate is correct. |
2016-11-07 16:36:30 -0500 | answered a question | Higher COP values then reference COP Actually, I only used Chiller:Electric:EIR to do the modeling before. But I have a similar situation after using the chiller curves calculated by myself. So I double checked the outputs, including (from .rdd file): Output:Variable,,Chiller Capacity Temperature Modifier Multiplier,hourly; !- HVAC Average [] Output:Variable,,Chiller EIR Temperature Modifier Multiplier,hourly; !- HVAC Average [] Output:Variable,*,Chiller EIR Part Load Modifier Multiplier,hourly; !- HVAC Average [] And then, I found some weird curve feature there and figured out the issue, which is the wrong curve I calculated. Try that to see it is helpful to you. |

2016-10-31 14:29:28 -0500 | asked a question | Cooling Tower Heat Transfer Performance Curve Changes Recently, I used EnergyPlus to model a general building with a variable speed cooling tower. And I select CoolingTowerPerformance:CoolTools as the model type in the baseline model. Actually, we would like to replace that cooling tower with a new one which has a better heat transfer performance in reality as an ECM. So I need to model the ECM model by using another performance curve to increase the heat transfer. I read the definition of that curve in the document, which is using several parameters to determine the approach temperature. That means all the coefficient values are related to a lot of variables. So I have no idea what should I do to only increase the heat transfer performance. Does anyone did the similar changes before. That'll be super helpful! Thanks! |

2016-08-15 16:48:06 -0500 | asked a question | Heat Recovery Chiller and Boiler Work Together I am working on a complicated heating hot water system, which supplies hot water by boiler (Outdoor air temperature is lower than 60F) or by heat recovery chiller (Outdoor air temperature is higher than 60F). Although there is some suggestions here, but I don't know how to combine it with a boiler. Does anyone has any experience or suggestions can offer? That will be very helpful! Thank you!

2016-07-11 16:31:06 -0500 | marked best answer | How to Model a Water-cooled Condensing Unit I would like to use OpenStudio or EnergyPlus to model a water-cooled condensing unit. Based on that, I need to directly connect the cooling coil of air loop to the condensing water loop. However, the only choice for me right now is the water-to-air heat pump. The problem of this method is that I need to size the heating capacity zero. Is there any better way to model the condensing unit? Does EnergyPlus/OpenStudio has the unit called condensing unit? Does anyone has the similar experience in modeling condensing unit? |
