Issue overview

User file with Chiller:Electric:EIR always requests full condenser flow rate, regardless of chiller flow mode, with variable speed towers and variable speed condenser pump.
Should this happen?
If so, should there be an additional flow mode to allow variable flow condenser?

Certainly looks like this should be an option. How to control it is another question. Here's one article about that:

Hi there,

Is there a way to raise the priority of this issue? It hasn't been addressed since 2018 and makes results for the variable-speed condenser loop very inaccurate. At the same time variable-speed condenser loops are very common design.

Just trying to attract attention to this issue :)

Cheers

Hi, unfortunately this is not a complete solution, but it can be a workaround (it's not perfect at all).

Still unresolved?

This is a problem not only when using cooling towers, but also when using seawater cooling by PlantComponent:TemperatureSource. Unlike cooling towers, it is not possible to make a compromise of variable tower fans instead of variable condenser water.

Or variable condenser flow is possible with any other chiller objects?

Hope this issue won't be left unattended forever.
