Hi

Is there a way we can model explicitly Series Counter flow chiller staging in Apache HVAC?
It has been seen as the new (revived) practice these days for large district cooling plant.

At the moment, my understanding is that you can only model chillers staging in parallel within apache HVAC.

please kindly advise

Thanks

Anyone have an answer for this? Thanks.

yes i believe the staging currently is a bit limited, hopefully they will resolve that in next version. Meanwhile, try to do a workaround through playing with chiller capacities and part load range.
