I am trying to model cooling tower water to chilled water free-cooling
(bypass the chiller) in eQuest. If anyone has experience modeling this
in eQuest it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

David,

I would set up your cooling tower with a heat exchanger and then in
your air-side system go to the "Cooling" tab. Within that click on
the "Economizer" tab. Turn on your water-side economizer and assign
the correct parameters to this tab (condensing loop, etc..).

If you need more specific help, please let me know.
