Dear All,
Our project building is located in Istanbul/Turkey. Cooling will be provided by centralised two chillers. There is not a cooling tower. The project building location is very close the sea and this chillers will be fed by the sea-water condenser system.
There is a titanium plate type heat exchanger between sea-water and chiller condenser water. Sea water condenser flow and return temperatures 22C(71.6F) and 27C(80.6F).
Chiller condenser water flow and return temperatures 29C(84.2F) and 23C(73.4F). In addition, condenser total water flow rate is 340 kg/hr at 250 kPa.
How can sea-water condenser system be modeled in eQuest?
Thank you,
Best Regards.

I think this would be possible with some type of water cooled condenser. Without going into the program and trying to figure it out I can't give you a step-by-step set of instructions. For LEED if it can't be modeled directly a work around would be required. If it is required make sure to follow G2.5 and provide a thorough narrative describing the work around.
You might also consider posting your question on the eQUEST users forum at onebuilding.org. Someone there would be more likely to have an answer to your question.
