[Equest-users] Fuid-cooler has zero design flow

[Miller, Jessica]

I am trying to attach a heat-rejection fluid-cooler to a WLHP
circulation-loop but my simulation keeps crashing out at 18% and I get
an error:

 

Loop:  FC Water Loop CL 1 has zero design flow.  Check input for
consistency, or specify design loads.  Does anyone know what I might be
doing wrong?

 

Thank you!

 

 

I set the following properties:

 

"FC Loop Pump 1 CL" = PUMP            

   ..

 

"CL Grnd Loop 1" = CIRCULATION-LOOP

   TYPE             = LAKE/WELL

   LOOP-DESIGN-DT   = 10

   MIN-RESET-T      = 65

   ..

 

"FC Water Loop CL 1" = CIRCULATION-LOOP

   TYPE             = WLHP

   SUBTYPE          = SECONDARY

   PRIMARY-LOOP     = "CL Grnd Loop 1"

   LOOP-OPERATION   = STANDBY

   DESIGN-HEAT-T    = 70

   DESIGN-COOL-T    = 85

   COOL-SETPT-CTRL  = FIXED

   LOOP-PUMP        = "FC Loop Pump 1 CL"

   ..

 

SET-DEFAULT FOR HEAT-REJECTION  

   TYPE = FLUID-COOLER

   CAPACITY         = 1.2863e+006

   NUMBER-OF-CELLS  = 1

   CAPACITY-CTRL    = VARIABLE-SPEED-FAN

   COIL-LOSS        = 252900

   DESIGN-APPROACH  = 7

   DESIGN-WETBULB   = 78

   CW-STATIC-HEAD   = 0

   CW-FLOW-CTRL     = VARIABLE-FLOW

   SPRAY-KW/CELL    = 2.2371

   ..

 

"WLHP Fluid Cooler 1" = HEAT-REJECTION  

   TYPE             = FLUID-COOLER

   CW-LOOP          = "FC Water Loop CL 1"

   ..
