eQUEST keyword assignment

Sim list,

I am using eQUEST 3.61e to create a baseline building
from my proposed. In order to change to Apdx G - system 5 (Packaged VAV
w/reheat) I need to remove the chiller since it will use DX cooling.
Sounds easy enough, however after changing all air-side systems to DX
and I cannot delete the chiller due to a 'keyword' assignment. eQUEST
tells me that the keyword assignment 'cannot be reassigned to another
component' and therefore the chiller cannot be deleted.

I have removed the pump since it is a child component and this does not
seem to change the keyword assignment. I read through the DOE 2.2 topics
manual and I still am unable to identify where this keyword assignment
might be coming from. Any ideas?

Thanks

Eric,
The easy way would be to open the "inp" file and do a search/find of the
chiller name. You would be able to find all the components to which this
chiller is associated. Go to that component and remove the chiller from
it. Hope it helps!

Yuvaraj,

Thanks! There was a report associated with it from
calibrating the proposed model - gets me every time! I usually shy away
from the INP when it comes to systems. Just goes to show that sometimes
the INP is a better place to get some perspective.
