[Equest-users] Refrigeration Modeling in eQuest and eQuest (refrig. Version)

[Austin Hermsen]

I have used used the refrigeration somewhat successfully. There can be some
problems with certain water side systems. I remember having to remove my DHW
Loop. I think central plant systems in general don't transfer well, try
switching your systems to packaged units. If you post some of your errors I
might be able to be more helpful.
