[Equest-users] Excessive pumping power consumption

[Javed Iqbal]

Hi,

Continuing to the above problem, I've generated hourly kWh consumption for
all pumps and found that pump power in "Annual Energy Consumption End use
report" is almost double than the summation of hourly pumps kWh consumption
which includes Primary, Secondary and Condenser pumps.

Does eQuest reports all pumping power (Primary, Secondary and Condenser
pumps) in pumps & auxiliary section?

I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in Advance!
