Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: the condenser fan energy for air-cooled chiller





As usual, I agree with Mr. Marais. I'll add one clarification:

I wrote to the helpdesk and it seems it's normal. From the Engineering Reference guide:

The amount of condenser fan energy is assumed to be proportional to the chiller
cycling ratio and is calculated as follows:

Pcond =Qref * (Pcondfanratio) * (ChillerCyclingRatio)

where ChillerCyclingRatio = min(PLR/PLRmin ; 1.0)

therefore the fan power is modulated only if PLR < PLRmin

Coffee conversation: People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
