Doug Maddox recorded a few videos for new features and updates available in eQUEST running DOE-2.3, on his website here: http://maddoxenergy.com/Webinars.htm
There is one for DOAS, one for HVAC Sizing and one for VRF systems. The one for HVAC Sizing includes recommendations for inputs to use when system coil capacities and airflow rates are known. I noticed two keywords that I wasn't aware of - SYSTEM:RATED-FLOW and SYSTEM:HRATED-FLOW. These are the cooling and heating airflow rates that correspond with the user inputs for cooling and heating coil capacities. There are no edit boxes in the eQUEST interface for these keywords, so I revised my modified version of the BDLDialogs.txt file to include them.
The file adds these keyword capabilities to the eQUEST interface:
* SYSTEM:RATED-FLOW
* SYSTEM:HRATED-FLOW
* SYSTEM:NUM-COOL-STAGES (for PVVT systems)
* SYSTEM:NUM-HEAT-STAGES (for PVVT systems)
* SYSTEM:MAX-CAP/UNIT (for VRF coils)
* CONDENSING-UNIT:TYP-CAP/SYSTEM (for VRF condensing units)
I am happy to share this file with eQUEST users (it is ~1.7 MB).
Cheers,
