[Equest-users] Fan Motor Efficiency Change

[John Aulbach]

Thank you, Jeremy. By "plug and chug", that seemed to be the Parameter that 
changed in running a test building through Standard, High, and Premium 
Efficiency.

Wouldn't it be nice if some of this stuff was discussed more in the Manuals ??

John

I account for motor eff by changing the total eff, where total eff = motor eff * 
mech eff.  I believe the keyword for total eff in the inp file is SUPPLY-EFF for 
supply fans.

Thank you, Demba.
 
But this is for a PUMP. Not a FAN.

John, 
 
In the INP, it is the “MOTOR-CLASS” input. You see in the INP something like:
 
FLOW             = 300
                NUMBER           = 1
                HEAD             = 80
                MECH-EFF         = 0.776
                MOTOR-CLASS      = HI-EFF
                CAP-CTRL         = ONE-SPEED-PUMP

I should know this one, but draw a blank.
 
The Wizard asks if you want Standard, Hi Efficiency, or Premium Efficiency 
motors for your fan system.
 
How do those show up in the .INP file? That will give me a clue as to what 
Parameters to modify for changing to PE motors.
 
Thanks.
