[Equest-users] Refrigeration Modeling in eQuest and eQuest (refrig. Version)

[Nicolas Johnson]

Hello all,

I am a ME student @ Portland State University attempting to model a
grocery store as my final project for my building energy modeling
class.

We have mostly dealt with eQuest and my instructor is encouring us to
venture into the "unknown" within eQuest to model things we are
currently don't know how to model.

In this instance I really don't know how to model refrigeration for a
grocery store, and have been trying to get the refrigeration version
of eQuest to work for some time now.  Does anyone have a simple
tutorial or a help file that would make this possible?

An example of some of the errors I am getting would be, when I make a
file in eQuest 3.55 normal version using the wizard and try to import
it into the refrigeration version I get 28 errors, some bdl and some
others.  And when I try to import the refrigeration examples into the
normal version there are even more errors, why don't these two
seeminly simlar programs communicate well together?

Anyways, I know people have had problems with the refrigeration
version in the past, and I also know it has been succesfully used by
many professional modelers on large scale projects before, so if
anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Nick
