I have a project that has two chillers - one older absorption chiller,
and a newer centrifugal chiller that's more efficient. The way the
building will operate is that the absorption chiller comes online only
if the centrifugal chiller cannot meet the loads. Is there any way to
specify this in eQUEST?

Hi Vikram,
On your chilled water loop, under the controls tab, you can create
'Equipment controls'. Create it for cooling and it will allow you sequence
your chillers according to the max load on the chiller. You can control the
load on the chillers by either sizing your chillers or setting the max load
on the chiller in the equipment control.
Hope this is adequate info.
