I am simulating the domestic hot water consumption as process flow on the
hot water loop. But it is not showing up in the results (the beps report is
same with 0 gpm vs 11.1 gpm, and the schedule is non-zero). Am I missing
something or is there a bug?

Process flow on hot water loop

I sent this message yesterday but it did not show up on the list - so here
it is again.

Could be a few things, you might need to upload your .inp file for this one.

Here are the input file. Thanks

You need to assign a process "load" other than 0.00. Equest uses the load on the coils for its calcs, and will not use flow rates in the process area unless it is a DHW system.
If you want to add a process load then the "process load" needs to be calc'd out manually and input. The flow rate is an additional input to the process load that will add to pumping power. If no load is input than the flow rate will have no effect.
Good Luck!
