[Equest-users] Gas Misc. Equip. Load

[Walson, Kristy]

Hi all,

Just to follow-up on my question earlier...  It turned out to be a process load on the Hot Water secondary loop.  When you create a secondary loop it wants you to add a process load.  In fact, I keep getting an error when I try to make the Process load on the loop zero.  I didn't realize this process load would end up in the Misc. Equip. category, but I suppose this makes sense.  Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

Check to see if you have any auxiliary fuel input on your systems. That will show up under miscellaneous load.

Hi all,

Thanks for the input.  To answer a few questions...  I am in Detail Edit Mode.  I have already checked to see if any loads have been applied to the Fuel Meter in error and they have not.

It could be kitchen or laundry equipment.  Once I'm in Detail Edit Mode, can anyone tell me where I can check for these loads?

Hi Kristy:



Without the .INP and .PD2 file, it could be a few things. I don't know if you are still in the Wizard or not.



It could be a cooking or laundry equipment load.



But if you are in the Detailed Edit mode, you can generate a Building level gas load undet the Utilities and Economics tab on top, then to the tree on the left to the FM1 Fuel meter.

Hi all,

I am getting a Miscellaneous Equipment gas load on a model that I'm working on.  Does anyone know where in the inputs this type of energy would be generated?  Misc. Equip. is usually found in the "Equipment" section of the Internal Loads, but all of my Equipment is assigned to my Electric Meter.  Any insight would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
