[Equest-users] loop flow

[Verena Kindl]

Thanks it is better but i still have a different flow in the loop and 

CW Loop Pump                     1 PUMP(s)
   Condenser Water Loop                  5194.8  cfm      
   PRIMARY LOOP 


Chiller1 (1StageAbs)            
  ABSOR-1           Chilled Water Loop                    21.000      3347.9       0.004       1.429       0.000
                    Condenser Water Loop                  48.505      5983.5 
                    Hot Water Loop                       -28.479      1422.8               

Do I have to worry about it ? I am pretty sure sth is wrong.

Try setting your loop sizing to primary rather than secondary.  Primary
sizes the loop based on the chiller capacity -- good if your primary
equipment sizing is known.  Secondary sizes the loop based on the coils
attached to the loop -- good if you are autosizing your equipment.  The
default is secondary.
