Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] About Using HVAC Templates for Chilled Water Systems

["Javed Iqbal eee.javed@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
This is not difficult if you understand how e+ plant and equipments are being set up. HVAC template is really helpful to get a clear idea on HVAC typology during initial learning stage. Later you can make changes and see .err files if you find any error files while simulation. Also, You can refer EnergyPlus university course teaching material to learn more on this.
In my opinion, e+ gives you highest level of flexibility if you dive into its nitty grittiest. The more you understand easier it becomes..
Hope this helps!

Hello everyone!

I am using the following method for air-conditioning simulation.

- Model through the HVAC template.

- After that, I do the detailing through expidf file.

I have a big doubt about chilled water systems, in this case. We have three main HVAC templates to detail the data chilled water supply.

- HVACTemplate: Chiller

- HVACTemplate: Tower

- HVACTemplate: ChilledWaterLoop

In HVACTemplate: ChilledWaterLoop can not specify what the chiller or tower that these pumps are part. I understand that using this method with templates, you can only make a single chilled water system. Am I right or wrong?

For example, how do I model using HVACTemplates, a system with three chillers, two cooling towers and pump circuits? Or, model two types of chilled water systems in the same building?

With HVACTemplates we can not associate the fan coils with specific chillers or chiller with specific towers.

Thank you very much guys.

Best regards for all.
