[Equest-users] -nan Error

[ashu gupta]

Omer,

This error become due to the zero flow of any loop system. Please check flow
of your loops.

I hope this helps!

Thanks

Omer,

I believe this may be occurring because eQuest is trying to use equipment
performance curves beyond their valid limits.  Check for warnings in your
sim file.

Well, sorry to skip from problem to problem, being under time pressure
makes you dizzy :)

Actually, I thought I had solved the "capacity" warning by adding thermal
storage. Indeed, the warnings disappeared after the addition of a thermal
storage that charges and discharges from the two-pipe primary loop. But
now, I get these -nan's in the reports.

I will definitely let you know when I solve it. Nobody here knows what
even -nan stands for? (not available something??)

Thanks,
