In detailed mode, I am modeling a central plant for a customer in TN. I am looking at adding a VFD chiller vs. a new plate & frame heat exchanger for Dec-Feb. free cooling. I am creating a process tower load and changing loop temperatures based on schedules for plate & frame option. Chillers are completely off December 1st - end of February. So end of Feb, I turn on chillers and the demand for that month is higher than August. My Feb. chiller process load is only about 35% of the August process load.
This same thing happened to another model I did where the customer completely turns his chillers Dec-Feb. I scheduled chillers off for these months then turned on March 1st. March demand was about 25% high in March than in August. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
