Tom and eQuesters,
 
    Did anyone answer your question?  I'll need to know this conversion,
too, for my project.

Subject: [Equest-users] DHW Process Flow



I am modeling a dormitory for EAc1 in version 3.60. I've calculated the peak
DHW load by using the flow rate of all of the fixtures on the hot water loop
(410 gpm). I have a schedule that accounts for the vacant periods during the
breaks and reduced usage in the summer when the building is partially
occupied. When I use the 410 gpm rate as the process flow the energy
consumption for hot water is astronomically high. 

 

What fact do I need to apply to the calculated flow rate to get realistic
results?

 

Thanks
