Heat Recovery From Ice Plant

1 post / 0 new

eQUEST users;

With help from the "sample" ice rink file I think I've got most of my ice
plant setup but I have a few more questions concerning heat recovery.

I have a water cooled chiller plant connected to a geothermal loop and am
trying to use heat recovered from the chiller plant for three uses: the
subfloor heating loop, the Space Heating loop, and domestic hot water. By
adding Hot Water Tanks, I've been able to dump heat to the Space Heating
Loop as well as subfloor loop but I can't add a tank to the DHW loop to dump
heat into it. In the model I have rejected heat to the DHW loop by taking
two chillers off of the How Water Tank Loop and dedicating their heat
recovery directly to DHW. The problem is that these two chillers can no
longer reject heat to the space heating loop anymore. You can see this in
the attached file.

Does anyone know how I can have heat rejected to the domestic hot water loop
by doing the "hot water tank" method or any other that may have worked for
one of you in the past?

Any suggestions or other ideas are more then welcome.
