Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Condenser loop and Setpoint managers .....

[Edwin Lee <leeed2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

True, in Electric Chillers, there is no condenser loop node set point.  The loop uses the environmental reference 'AIR' in the object when performing set point / load calculations.  I think the documentation may need a bit of clarification there.  Would you agree that this statement:

  6)  Any Use of PlantLoop or CondenserLoop

being replaced by this statement:

  6)  Use of a PlantLoop or CondenserLoop object which doesn't use an environment reference such as AIR or GROUND as a set point

would be an improvement?

Dear users,

Is it always compalsory to have a SetPointManager: object associated to a Condenser loop?

The InputOutputReference documentation mentions that, any use of PlantLoop or CondenserLoop require the use of a Setpoint Manager (page 1282).

However, one can find some files in the Examples directory (say .... ElectricChiller.idf) that do not make any use of a condenserloop setpoint manager.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance
