[Equest-users] Strange Winter Cooling with Chiller

[Carol Gardner]

I wonder if the electric loads are associated with pumps for your chilled
water system? I'd Google eQUEST reports to see if Marlin or others have
written about this. I suspect that it's just an auxiliary load associated
with moving the chilled water, or cooling tower fans, that you needn't worry
about.

Let us know what you find out.
