[EnergyPlus_Support] autosize the heat recovery loop

["energypluser" <energypluser@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all

If I want to autosize the heat recovery loop, which type of loop should be input in the field of 
plant sizing ?
I used a water heater to recover the exhaust heat from an IC engine and supply hot water to 
the HVAC terminals. 
There is no node-branch connection error in my idf file.( I can get the correct svg file)
But I find that my pump in the heat recovery looop does not work. I mean there is no flow 
getting through the pump.
Therefore, the water heater uses the electrical heater to keep the water temperature in the 
allowed range. 
I have compare my file with the example file "HeatRecoveryPlantLoop.idf". The setpoint 
manager and the schedules are the same. The only difference is that my file autosizes the 
heat recovery loop, but the example file does not.
So I wonder whether it is possible to autosize the heat recovery loop. 
And why the pump is not working ?
Thank you in advance.
