Multifamily Baseline PTAC/PTHP - Errors

4 posts / 0 new
Last post

Hi All,
I am having a hard time modeling Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps for the Baseline of a Multifamily project (eQUEST 3.65.7571).
Each time I select PTHP, the program delivers scores of errors (108).
When I tried to open a past (successful) multifamily project that was done under a previous version, the newer eQUEST version delivered the same errors.
Even when just doing a generic multifamily that defaults to PTHP, the errors occur.
Has anyone experienced this and/or any ideas of what I may be missing?
Could this be glitch in the new version?

Here are the error messages:

Hi Jeff:
Here is a Wizard attempt at at PTHP I just ran. Apparently fine.? See how yours differs.

Hi Jeff,
If you share your INP file, it may be easier to debug the error.

Hi Jeff,

This error could come if you are using DOE2.3 because PTAC/PTHP system is
not part of DOE2.3 as of now. You can check the DOE version by going in the
tool menu and check "select DOE2 version". If this is the case, then just
change to the DOE2.2 and close the equest and reopen the file.

Thanks.
