Good morning eQuest users,
Has anyone successfully used the walk-in refrigeration feature under the
Air-Side Refrigeration Tab? I am modeling a small retail building with
a walk-in cooler and freezer, both of which I have set up as PSZ
systems. Under the Refrigeration Tab, I selected Separate as the
Refrigeration Circuit Type with appropriate capacities and EERs.
Providing the Walk-in Box with a load, location (compressor group
assignment), and a schedule, results in no change in energy consumption
for the model. Providing a Zone Load for Display Refrigeration under
the Zone Refrigeration Tab results in an appropriate increase in the
Refrig Display end-use.
I found the Walk-in Box key words in the DOE-2.2 dictionary, but
virtually no other mention of the Walk-in Box feature in the
documentation. Perhaps I have missed something. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vern
