I have been using eQuest to evaluate chiller performance for retrofit
projects. I have not had a problem modeling air-cooled, but I can't seem to
get the data from the reps that I would like for water-cooled centrifugal
projects. I have settled on using standard curves for CAPFT and EIRFT and
using a cubic curve with coefficients created through a curve fit in excel
for EIRFPLR.
The manufacturers reps aren't able to produce a capacity or EIR curve as a
function of temperature (entering condenser water temp). Has this been
everyone's experience with this.
I'm attaching the excel file I created to calculate all of this.
Any feedback is appreciated. I'm just concerned about the data I'm
reporting to the client without touching those curves.
Thanks,
Jordan Jackson.
