[Equest-users] Fw: Mitsubishi Curves for eQuest

[Travis Miller]

Below are a couple of screenshots describing what is happening with the model when I select the VRF Heating Capacity Curve. Has anybody seen something like this happen before? Do the curves not like my weather file which is for Pocatello, ID?

I am looking for some help in troubleshooting a VRF model I created by following the attached Mitsubishi documents.

I followed all of the steps with no problems up to the point of selecting the VRF heating capacity curve. As soon as I selected VRF Heating Capacity Curve under the Cap Curve/Waste Heat tab, the space heating kWh disappears (in addition to a massive negative utility bill for the month of January).

There is an additional twist - I was able to select the VRF Heating Capacity Curve for all basement zones and assign it without the model going bonkers, it just goes off the rails when selecting this curve for any of the above grade zones. I have been combing through the model trying to figure out what is causing this but with no luck so far.

I have attached my project file in the zip file titled Bank as well as the original Mitsubishi info. Thanks again in advance for any help.

Travis

Paul,

I just noticed our earlier dialogue and realized that you are doing energy modeling in eQUEST.  Mitsubishi recently put together the attached application note for guidance in modeling VRF in this software (also attached is a .inp file and a .pd2 file with the heating/cooling partload curves already entered).

Joe:

I wonder if you can help me out.  I am looking for the performance data for a PUHY-P1500-YSHM-A.  I want to write the custom curves for this unit.  I guess it is not sold in the USA?  This is a project in another country.

Thank you,
