EnergyPlus: Can Refrigeration:AirChiller be connected to Refrigeration:SecondarySystem through a Glycol loop?
Looking deeply in IO Reference and Engineering Reference, It is not clear if AirChiller Can be used in conjuntion with a Secondary System. The idea should be that the SecondarySystem (Evatorator) connects the primary Refrigeration System to a Glicol second loop that feeds into the Airchiller.
In the example file only direct connection of airchiller with system are presented while in the IOref it seems possible but the simulation do not run as expeted (even if does not report any errors)
Any other experience?

Hi, I have the same situation and the same problem. The idea is connect Refrigeration:system with a Refrigeration:SecondarySystem through a glycol loop connected with reference of Refrigeration:AirChiller name in a Refrigeration:CaseAndWalkInList.
The simulation only reports warnings such as "You may wish to check the system sizing. Total nominal cooling capacity is 320000W. Condenser capacity is 354861W. Nominal compressor capacity is 129154W." But if i check ESO file, the compressors don't work and no consume energy.
did you solve this problem?
