Heating Capacity Issue

1 post / 0 new

Hello,
I have a WARNING by eQuest that my "Hot Water Loop heating capacity is smaller than the secondary demand". This is the only report that shows the number -3,328,756. The SS-D report shows a "Maximum Heating Load (KBTU/HR)" of -1,918.180 (KBTU/HR), it is my understand that the SS-D report includes outside ventilation. On report PV-A, the "Hot Water Loop Heating Capacity" shows -3.318 (MBTU/HR). Not sure why this number is a little smaller than -3,328,756. Is there a reason the "Maximum Heating Load" of 1,918.180 is not the same as the "Hot Water Loop Heating Capacity" of -3,318? Is my logic incorrect that they should be the same? Is there any way to find the breakdown of each System that would make up the "Hot Water Loop Heating Capacity"? I've attached two reports.

**WARNING**********************************************************************

Loop: Hot Water Loop heating capacity is smaller

than the secondary demand. Primary= -2256000.

Secondary= -3328756.

Thanks,
