[Equest-users] Process flow on hot water loop

[Fleming, Joe]

You need to assign a process "load" other than 0.00.   Equest uses the load on the coils for its calcs, and will not use flow rates in the process area unless it is a DHW system.
If you want to add a process load then the "process load" needs to be calc'd out manually and input.  The flow rate is an additional input to the process load that will add to pumping power.  If no load is input than the flow rate will have no effect.

Good Luck!

I sent this message yesterday but it did not show up on the list - so here it is again.
I am simulating the domestic hot water consumption as process flow on the hot water loop. But it is not showing up in the results (the beps report is same with 0 gpm vs 11.1 gpm, and the schedule is non-zero). Am I missing something or is there a bug?
