[Equest-users] Belimo Valve PlugIn

[Bishop, Bill]

Thanks, Rohini and Javed.
I installed the plugin but I also had the same problem as Rohini with no documentation. I tried the "Belimo-Pressure-Depen-5-10 psi" curve in a random model and the pump energy increased 103%. And that's just when I use it for variable speed pumps. The literature doesn't warn you not to apply to single-speed pumps for additional savings, but there's nothing stopping you from doing that in eQUEST.
A PIV Plug-in Brochure/Flyer<https://www.belimo.us/ishop/cms/sh/news_events/plugin.html> mentions that "full documentation of the development of the Belimo pressure dependent pump performance curves is included along with the plug-in to make your models easily defensible to the most demanding audience". But I don't have the documentation (or I can't find it). If anybody has a copy of this documentation, please share as I would consider using it for pump energy savings in my models when I'm confident the savings are realistic.

Thanks,
Bill

Here is what I found out about the Belimo valve eQuest curves. They are pump power curves to be used for baseline and the eQuest default curves would be the proposed (chw/hw system which has a pressure independent valve). The attached has more information if you are interested.
Thanks,

Hi,

Are you looking for this document? I also tried installing this plugin but found an installation error as "3.65 Data" folder doesn't exist. I've 3.64b installed on my laptop and this plugin supports 3.6X all version as per developer. Did you find this problem?

Thanks for sharing.

Has anyone used the belimo plug in? On installation, it is supposed to show the eQuest instruction documentation, but unfortunately that is not happening on my computer. If any one has this sheet, can you please forward it to me (assuming it is a regular text or pdf file).
Here is the link if anyone is interested. https://www.belimo.us/americas/sp_online.html
Thanks,
