Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to set water pump with HVACTemplate





Dear Jin,
EnergyPlus always autosizes multiple plant object such as the cooling tower and chiller so that each component can supply 100% of the load.
I am not very familiar with the Templates, but it appears that a cooling tower and chiller can have a "Sizing Factor".  Try using Sizing Factor = 0.25; that should make each tower and chiller 25% of the total load.

Hi, users

I have a problem with HVACTemplate.
I am using HVACTemplate to model Appendix G system 7 and according to building peak cooling load, it need 4 cooling towers.
But after I get the results, I found that the flow rate of each condenser water pump is same with the pump flow rate which simulate with 1 cooling tower.
It means that the condenser water flow rate became 4 times more than that with 1 cooling tower.
How can I fix the model so that I can get the reasonable results?
Thanks.

- Jin
