Chiller has two different inlet node names "Chiller CHW Inlet Node" and "Ice Tank Outlet" in two separate places. Correcting the node name in the chiller object should make this file to run.

I finally seem to have gotten the ice storage object to work but now it says my chiller is missing- When attempting to re-connect the chiller in any logical way I can think of I get fatal errors saying that I have duplicate node names. I put the day into this yesterday, read documentation and ran experiments and seem to have not gotten the detailed ice storage object to work- but in the process have apparently disconnected my chiller. Can anyone help? Dr Li, your previous advise was over complicated I see not reason to make a refrigerated room when the goal is to cold charge a PCM in the night to use it in the day to pre-cool input for a chiller for a non refrigerated space.
** Severe ** Plant Component Chiller:Electric:EIR called "CHILLER" was not found on any plant loops.** ~~~ ** Looking for matching inlet Node="ICE TANK OUTLET".** Fatal ** InitElectricEIRChiller: Program terminated due to previous condition(s)....Summary of Errors that led to program termination:.....

This project in particular is to use BioPCM Thermastix, (see image below) in a container to absorb cold and use it for chiller pre-cooling- basically as a replacement for ice in an ice storage type setup- seems perfect for Energy Plus Ice Storage Detailed object as it allows the "ice" to melt at a user specified temperature, and as manufactures we can make our PCM-ICE to melt at any temperature-- but the question is what temperature and how much to use, both questions it would be great if Energy Plus could answer- if only I could get the object to work.. I have been trying on and off for days- so any help would be appreciated.
