Desiccant Regen with HW Loop

1 post / 0 new

All-

Quick question here. My building has electric heating so there is no hot
water loop currently in the design. As an energy efficiency measure we are
testing a desiccant cooling system that would be regenerated with either
solar hot water or waste heat from a microturbine. However, when I connect
the turbine to the hot water loop and then connect the loop to the desiccant
system I get this error --

***ERROR***********************************************************************
Loop: Regen HW Loop has zero design flow.
Check input for consistency, or specify design loads.

This problem goes away if I have a heating load on the hot water loop, but
that is not the case for this project. Any thoughts or workarounds??

Thanks in advance,
