[Equest-users] how to model cooling tower electric input ratio in equest

[Bishop, Bill]

Vamshi,

An axial fan cooling tower is required per G3.1.3.11. Required cooling tower efficiency is 38.2 gpm/hp per ASHRAE 90.1, Table 6.8.1G. Let eQUEST autosize the cooling tower, and use the design flowrate shown on the PV-A report to determine the fan HP. Then convert to kW and enter the value in FAN-KW/CELL. The cell is normally grayed out, so right-click the cell and enter the kW value by changing the user default.

Regards,
Bill

Hi,

How the cooling tower efficiency should be modeled in eQUEST for LEED Base case? and where these values are given in ASHRAE?

Thanks
Vamshi.
