Adam,

Thanks for the quick reply.

It helps so much to know that it really CAN work.

Leonard,

I did eventually figure out that Oil-Fired boilers can only be specified
once you have switched into Detailed Mode. You can then specify the
boiler as a Hot Water boiler with either Forced or natural draft, and
assign a fuel meter to it, therefore changing it to oil-fired.

Any other questions, let me know!

Adam (or Brian),

Any progress on this?

I would love to hear how you sorted out your issue.

I am a newbie and need to model a oil fired domestic hot water heater
with eQuest.

Can this be done using the wizards?  Or are other tweaks needed?

While trying to model an existing apartment complex, I am running into a
bit of a roadblock- it appears that eQuest only has the option for a
Natural Gas-Fired Boiler, and the building I am modeling has Oil-Fired
Boilers. Does anyone have experience with this issue, or have any
insight as to what might be the best way to model this situation? I
would have thought eQuest would have something as common as an oil-fired
boiler as a standard option for a heat source.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Adam
