[Equest-users] Pump Energy Off the Chart

[Mark Darrall]

Ha! I just had to struggle with that switch while doing calcs for my PRM worksheet.

Kilo…mega…whatever works. ☺

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,

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,
