I'm working on a model which has two chillers in parallel with a water-side economizer in series to both of them; i.e. the economizer is 'upstream' and the chillers are 'downstream.'
I know DOE 2.2 will not allow this configuration to be explicitly modeled, but after some research, it appeared DOE 2.3 would (see page 83 of DOE 2.3 Manual).
When I get things setup (CHW Loop in SERIES, Chillers in DOWNSTREAM) the keyword to place the economizer UPSTREAM is unavailable, and the run errors out with "No upstream equipment specified."
I have attached the INP and PD2 file for reference. You may find it interesting in this model that I have more than one system assigned to a single zone (Thanks for adding this eQUEST team!).
Am I being overly optimistic about what DOE 2.3 can do, or am I missing something? Has anyone else tried to model this in DOE 2.3 and been successful?
Let me know.
Thanks,
