Hi eQuest Friends,

I?m looking for a concise description of the phenomenon of ?loop load due to temperature change.?

It?s in the hourly reports, variable type = circulation loop. It shows as variable 10 in the output.

Loop load due to loop temperature change ? according to DOE22 libraries, the Fortran variable is named Qcp. Its definition is loop load due to temperature swings.

I believe this is the energy necessary during a time period to lower or raise the average temperature of the volume of water in the loop. I?m not sure, though.

I?ve attached a screen shot of the hourly report for a secondary CHW loop.

Thanks!

Dave
