[EnergyPlus_Support] Absorption Chiller

["danet.guillaume" <danet.guillaume@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm modelling a solar cooling system with an absorption chiller. The hot water supply for the generator is provided by solar collectors. On the evaporator outlet, I just have a chilled water thermal storage with a lot of losses in order to simulate a discharge. I've got a problem with the absorption chiller although I've no computation error, indeed Condenser and Evaporator Loops don't start and the thermal storage temperature tank rises up to 30 degrees whereas the setpoint manager is fixed at 6 degrees. 
My questions are : Which parameters are important for the absorption chiller starting?  
How does the absorption chiller handle loop pumps?
Is there a more convenient way of creating discharge than the chilled water thermal storage for a simple simulation ?

Thanks,

Guillaume DANET
