Heat Recovery Chiller

I know this has been asked once or twice before, but I haven't had too much
luck finding an appropriate archived response.

Has anyone successfully modeled a heat recovery chiller in Equest that would
reject heat to a domestic hot water loop and would like to share a step by
step process for simulating such a system?

Thanks,

Tony-

When you define a chiller in eQuest, along with assigning the appropriate
CHW (and possibly CW and HW) there is also a loop assignment for "HtRec".
This takes either a HW, WLHP, or DHW Loop to which the chiller will attempt
to provide recovered heat to. There are some variables you will need to
fill in depending on how much heat you want to recover, etc...

If that doesn't answer your question, please let me know.
