eQuest refrigeration and hourly reports

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to get the eQuest Refrigeration version to output
hourly reports? The hourly reports indicate that hourly reports should be
output, but they aren't, besides that I need them in *.csv format to be
really useful anyway, and there's no "Output Hourly Results" option under
the "File" tab.

While I have your attention: any suggestions for modeling refrigeration
systems that circulate a chilled fluid instead of a refrigerant?

Thanks for your help,

ok, so figured that one out. You open the "Hourly Data2_01.dat" file...
does anyone know how to make it pretty easily so I don't have 3 sets of
data, one on top of the other...

Thanks,

one more question...

why can't I get any hourly info on compressors, condensers, refrigeration
systems, refrigeration circuits, etc??? How am I going to trouble-shoot?

Thanks again,

Karen,

I have found that you can, however those options do not show up at first. When you go to create a new hourly block, select "GLOBAL" as the variable type then use the default "CLEARNESS NUMBER" as the variable list. These really don't matter as you will be changing them later. Once done, go back into the block, now under viable type, there are many more options, all of which you are looking for below.

Not sure why you cannot select them from the start, but they are there.

Brian,

Thanks for your response. Here's the deal, when I'm in the "Hourly Results
Selection" menu, I can select "Refrigeration Fixture" or one of the others
as a variable type, however, when I pick a specific fixture (or compressor,
or whatever), there are no variables listed for printing! I am using
version 3.61, if that makes any difference.

Thanks again,
