Absorption Chiller Power Use

My absorption chiller model is using way more power for pumping than it
should be. How can I reduce their usage? I feel like the model is trying
to use a pump that is too large for the capacity of my chiller which is
about 4 tons. Thanks

Cory,
Make sure you enter the chiller capacity correctly. 4 tons = 48,000
Btu/h = 0.048 MBtu/h in eQUEST (not 48 MBtu/h).
