Plant Data for Chillers & Boilers
A plant is added or removed from the project by checking or unchecking the appropriate 'Use' check box. Data that must be entered appears. Based on the plant selected, additional parameters that must be input appears in the parameter grid below.
Type - Shows the type of equipment.
Equipment - Displays the name of the equipment.
Capacity - Specifies the capacity of the selected equipment. The units in which the data is to be entered is also shown.
Quantity - Specifies how many units are installed.
Efficiency - Specifies the efficiency of the equipment. The units in which the data is to be entered is also shown.
IPLV - Specifies Integrated Part Load Value, if required.
Non-Standard? - Applies only to Open Centrifugal Chillers and Hermetic Centrifugal chillers. If checked, the corresponding plant equipment is considered non-standard and the efficiency requirement for non-standard chillers apply (see ASHRAE 90.1 or 2010 Florida code for details). Non-standard chillers require additional parameters to be input such as Flow/ton in gpm; LIFT in o F;
Note for Cooling Tower: The cooling tower requires the following input parameters: Performance gpm/hp; Fan type[Propeller or Axial or Centrifugal]; Tower Type[Open or Closed circuit]
Plant Data for Water Side Systems Only
A plant servicing a water-side system is added or removed from the project by checking or unchecking the appropriate 'Use' check box. Data that must be entered appears. Based on the plant selected, additional parameters that must be input appears in the parameter grid below. Please note that these entries are specifically meant for heating/cooling systems that have a water-side component; such as a packaged system with water source cooling or a heating system with water loop heating.
Type - Shows the type of equipment.
Equipment - Displays the name of the equipment.
Quantity - Specifies how many units are installed.
Compliance - If feedback controls are enabled, this will display if the current efficiencies are passing the selected code efficiency minimums.
Non-Standard? - Applies only to Open Centrifugal Chillers and Hermetic Centrifugal chillers. If checked, the corresponding plant equipment is considered non-standard and the efficiency requirement for non-standard chillers apply (see ASHRAE 90.1 or 2010 Florida code for details). Non-standard chillers require additional parameters to be input such as Flow/ton in gpm; LIFT in o F;
