[Equest-users] Help - Modeling an old boiler that burns fuel oil

[Sami, Vikram]

In eQUEST under the Utility & Economics tab you can set up your fuel meter (detailed interface) to use fuel oil, lpg or some other fuel sources. Make sure you set your thermal value per unit.

Subject: [Equest-users] Help - Modeling an old boiler that burns fuel oil

Hello Everyone,

We are in the process of modeling a 10-story residential brick tower for the Tarrytown Municipal Housing Authority. They have two old Eastman Boilers that burn #2 fuel oil and serves both space heating (through a steam loop) and domestic hot water (steam coils). We can't seem to figure out how to apply #2 Fuel oil to the boilers in our eQuest model. In the Domestic Hot Water Properties window the only options for DHW type are 1) gas, 2) electricity and 3) heat pump. The boiler in the diagram for space heating does not seem to have any options to apply a "type". Does anyone know how to model this? Basically we are just looking for a simple way for the model to recognize that the boilers are burning OIL and not Natural Gas and have the reports reflect this consumption. Thanks.

Regards,
