Everyone, has anyone ever modified the standard DX-Cool-EIR-fPLR curve
to fit a particular DX cooling system? If so, when you compared it to a
baseline DX cooling system, did you use the original eQuest
DX-Cool-EIR-fPLR?
I looked through ASHRAE 90.1 -2007 and although there is full load EER
data for air conditioners and heat pumps, there is no IEER data.
However, it occurs to me that if ASHRAE 90.1 starts including IEER data
(which shows up in ASHRAE 90.1 -2010 Section 6) how are we going to
modify the eQuest DX-Cool-EIR-fPLR to accommodate the IEER? The IEER is
a single number and we have no idea what the 25%, 50%, 75% cooling load
ratios look like.
Hmmm.
