[BLDG-SIM] how to simulate a four pipe system with heat pump chiller providing cooling in summer and heating in winter

[Wyman, Kevin L UTPWR]

Not sure how eQuest would handle this but could you not create an
electric boiler that is essentially the electric chiller acting as a
heater (COP of 3 versus 1) to simulate that and have a single heating
piping loop. Secondary boiler would be the purchased steam. Custom
boiler curves to simulate the electric chiller as a heater/heat pump
over a range of temperatures. Just a thought.

It sounds like you may not have specified a pump for your chilled water
loop. Check the loop and see if you have a pump assigned to it. You'll
need to be mindful of your pump energy to make sure you're not
overshooting what your actual system configuration will use.

Dear all
 
I am trying to simulate a four pipe system with heat pump chillers
providing cooling in summer and heating in winter and purchased steam as
supplemental heating source.I planed to build two loops for the project.
One for chilled water , another for hot water. But heat pump chillers
can only be attached to chilled water loop or two pipe loop , not hot
water loop. So I built one chilled water loop for cooling and one two
pipe loop for heating . But there is always a error message " the
chilled water loop has zero flow rate". It seemed a two pipe loop can
not be build together with other type of loop ,such as chilled water
loop or hot water loop. I have no idea of it . I want to know how to
simulate such a system. Thank you in advance.
