[EnergyPlus_Support] Converting DOE-2 Chiller curves to EnergyPlus

[Zhen Tian <tianzhen9@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I have question regarding converting the DOE-2 electric chiller curves to EnergyPlus Chiller:Electric:EIR curves.

For the part load ratio curve, as it is a quadratic performace curve with only one variable, it is easy to convert from DOE-2 curve to EneryPlus curve.

The problem is in the other two curves: cooling capacity function of temperature curve and electric input to cooling output ratio function of temperature curve. These two are biquadratic curves with two variables and also need to convert the degree F in DOE-2 to degree C in EnergyPlus at the same time. I am wondering is there any easy way to convert these DOE-2 curves to EnergyPlus curves? Is it possible to convert within tools such as Excel?

Thank you. Any advice will be appreciated.

Regards,

David
