Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Warnings



For the first 3 warnings, use the reference conditions in the chiller 
object. Use these values (5C and 32C) and multiply out the equation in 
the engineering reference using the coefficients a through f.in the 
curve object (Chiller 2 CentEIRFT)

Engineering Reference equation:
ChillerEIRFTemp = a + b(Tcw,l) + c(Tcw,l)^2 + d(Tcond,e) + e(Tcond,e)^2 
+ f(Tcs,l)(Tcond,e)

Equation using the reference conditions:
ChillerEIRFTemp = a + b(5C) + c(5C)^2 + d(32C) + e(32C)^2 + f(5C)(32C)

ChillerEIRFTemp = 1.136 (value in the error message)



Chiller:Electric:EIR,

Chiller2, !- Name
2110200, !- Reference Capacity {W}
5.0, !- Reference COP {W/W}
5, !- Reference Leaving Chilled Water Temperature {C}
32, !- Reference Entering Condenser Fluid Temperature {C}
autosize, !- Reference Chilled Water Flow Rate {m3/s}
autosize, !- Reference Condenser Water Flow Rate {m3/s}
Chiller2 CentCapFT, !- Cooling Capacity Function of Temperature Curve Name
Chiller2 CentEIRFT, !- Electric Input to Cooling Output Ratio Function 
of Temperature Curve Name
Chiller2 CentEIRFPLR, !- Electric Input to Cooling Output Ratio Function 
of Part Load Ratio Curve Name
0, !- Minimum Part Load Ratio
1, !- Maximum Part Load Ratio
1, !- Optimum Part Load Ratio
0.25, !- Minimum Unloading Ratio

For the remaining warnings (SimHVAC: Maximum iterations) there is 
something causing the simulation to calculate different results while 
trying to converge on an answer. Try using "autosize" for the Reference 
Capacity as a starting point. If that doesn't work, try setting the 
minimum unloading ratio to 0. If these changes do not work, I would 
suggest checking the controls on the chiller to make sure the outlet 
water temperature is meeting the set point temperature.
