[Equest-users] Boiler Capacity & Space Heat Consumption

[Omar Katanani]

Dear all,

This is driving me crazy!

Can someone please tell me what is the relation between the boiler equipment capacity and the Space Heat Consumption? I thought it was linear, but when I increased the equipment capacity from a very small value and upwards, the consumption started increasing and then decreasing and then increasing again!

I am doing this to try to solve a problem:

I'm comparing the boilers and their consumption (space heat) of the baseline and the proposed designs. There is a very big difference, and I'm sure I compared both inputs, tab by tab, and they are identical (even the schedules)!! 

I tried once with automatic sizing of the boilers, and once with a constant value that I imposed on both baseline and proposed designs.

Any help is much appreciated!

Best regards,
Omar
