[Equest-users] Absorption Chiller Power Use

[Bishop, Bill]

Cory,
Make sure you enter the chiller capacity correctly. 4 tons = 48,000
Btu/h = 0.048 MBtu/h in eQUEST (not 48 MBtu/h).
Regards,
Bill

Subject: [Equest-users] Absorption Chiller Power Use
 
My absorption chiller model is using way more power for pumping than it
should be.  How can I reduce their usage?  I feel like the model is
trying to use a pump that is too large for the capacity of my chiller
which is about 4 tons.  Thanks
