Hello All, In eQUEST, I am trying to model a traditional water source heat pump system with a cooling tower and a steam meter, but I am having difficulty connecting the steam meter to the water source heat pump loop. What I have found is the steam meter will only connect to a hot water loop. My first thought was to create a separate hot water loop with a steam meter and link the two loops with a heat exchanger, but it appears that the heat echangers within eQUEST are only used for cooling towers, fluid coolers, or dry coolers. Is there a way to replace the heating boiler in a water source heat pump system with a steam meter or any other form of purchased heat? Has anyone successfully implemented a work around for this particular condition? As a last resort, I am considering modeling the boiler as 100% Efficient. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

To work around this, r-click the short-cut for eQUEST and select properties. Select the compatibility tab, check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", and choose "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" as the compatibility mode, allowing adequate permissions for the program to operate as intended. |

The best solution I have found to get around this error is run the model on a 32 bit machine running Windows XP; the 64 bit machine running Windows 7 will result in this error every time which ultimately crashes the program. |
