[Equest-users] Pump Energy Off the Chart

[MattDubrovich at Eaton.com]

Matt,

 

I've seen this type of error (i.e. exploding energy, demand, and/or
dollars) when I enter the capacity of a component thinking that "MBtu"
means 1000's of Btus, not millions as is does in eQuest terminology.
Maybe a similar typo in your situation?  John A. responded to an email
yesterday on that topic.  I vaguely remember a discussion on eQuest
terminology (k = 1000's, M = millions) and that it follows either a
Greek or Roman system, while the typical "MBH" that is on every
mechanical schedule is based on the other system.  Good luck,

Subject: [Equest-users] Pump Energy Off the Chart

 

I am running a chilled water system in the detailed mode and everything
seemed to be going well when I closed up last night.  This morning I
come in, make some modifications to a few internal loads, and
re-calculate.  Now the pumps/aux is off the chart on the monthly power
consumption (12000000000000000000000 to be exact), and I cant seem to
figure out the issue.

 

I have tried everything I can think of, setting all the pump setting to
default, etc...but nothing seems to be working.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance,
