[Equest-users] System crash when attempting to add energy recovery

[Brad Robinson]

I have had issues with eQuest and ERV's. Although it usually seems to lock up, I have left it for a few minutes and the program will eventually respond.  I have had the same issues when adding humidification as well.

I am assuming that you are in
the detailed edit mode. I would try to add the energy recovery in the .inp
file. If you don’t have a different project that you can copy the energy
recovery from, create a new project in the wizard and add energy recovery to
the HVAC system and copy and paste from that .inp file. Once you copy the energy
recovery to the system, you should be able to open eQUEST and make any necessary
changes.
 
 I have had eQUEST lock on
me in the past (especially on version 3.64) with no explanation but this process
has worked.

All, I am attempting to add energy recovery (heat pipe) to
my system, which is VAV reheat, one system per site.  The file locks
up.  Before I attempted to add this, the building was compiling just fine,
but I had attempted to run the baseline and it had given me an error that the
cooling coil leaving temperature needed to be 6 F higher than entering water
temp.  I had tried lowering the entering chw temp, but it still
wasn’t converging.  So I was attempting to add energy recovery
(which the system will have, though I was trying not to add it in the baseline
to simulate App G baseline).  The system is high percent outdoor air
(0.81).  Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing the file
to lock when trying to add the ER?  Thanks.
