CHW&CW - Rule 22-8

Schema Version: 0.0.10
Mandatory Rule: True
Rule ID: 22-8
Rule Description: For Baseline chilled water system with cooling capacity of 300 tons or more, the secondary pump shall be modeled with variable-speed drives.
Rule Assertion: B-RMR = expected value
Appendix G Section: Section 22 CHW&CW Loop
90.1 Section Reference: Section G3.1.3.10 Chilled-water pumps (System 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13)
Data Lookup: None
Evaluation Context: Building
Applicability Checks:

  1. B-RMR is modeled with at least one air-side system that is Type-7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 7b, 8b, 11b, 12b.
  2. Primary and secondary CHW loops are modeled correctly in B-RMR.
  3. B-RMR chilled water system cooling capacity is 300 tons or more.

Function Calls:

  1. get_baseline_system_types()
  2. get_primary_secondary_loops_dict()

Applicability Checks:

  • Check 1: Get B-RMR system types: baseline_hvac_system_dict = get_baseline_system_types(B-RMR)

    • Check if B-RMR is modeled with at least one air-side system that is Type-7, 8, 11.1, 11.2, 12, 13, 7b, 8b, 11b, 12b, i.e. with air-side system served by chiller(s), continue to the next applicability check: if any(sys_type in baseline_hvac_system_dict.keys() for sys_type in ["SYS-7", "SYS-8", "SYS-11.1", "SYS-11.2", "SYS-12", "SYS-13", "SYS-7B", "SYS-8B", "SYS-11B", "SYS-12B"]): NEXT_APPLICABILITY_CHECK

    • Else, rule is not applicable to B-RMR: else: RULE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • Check 2: Get primary and secondary loops for B-RMR: primary_secondary_loop_dictionary = get_primary_secondary_loops_dict(B_RMR)

    • Check if primary and secondary loops are modeled correctly, continue to rule logic: if primary_secondary_loop_dictionary["PRIMARY"] AND primary_secondary_loop_dictionary["SECONDARY"]: CHECK_RULE_LOGIC

    • Else, rule is not applicable to B-RMR: else: RULE_NOT_APPLICABLE

Rule Logic:

  • For each pump in B_RMR: for pump_b in B_RMR.RulesetModelInstance.pumps:

    • Save loop served by pump and pump to a dictionary: loop_pump_dictionary[pump_b.loop_or_piping].append(pump)

  • For each chiller in B_RMR: for chiller_b in B_RMR.RulesetModelInstance.chillers:

    • Get cooling loop that chiller serves: chw_loop_b_id = chiller_b.cooling_loop

      • Add chiller rated capacity to CHW loop total capacity: chw_loop_capacity_dict[chw_loop_b_id] += chiller_b.rated_capacity

  • For each primary CHW loop: for loop_b_id in primary_secondary_loop_dictionary["PRIMARY"]:

    • Check if CHW primary loop total cooling capacity is 300 tons or more: if chw_loop_capacity_dict[loop_b_id] >= 300 * CONVERSION(TON_TO_BTUH):

      • Get primary loop: primary_loop_b = get_component_by_id(loop_b_id)

        • For each secondary loop served by primary CHW loop: for secondary_loop_b in primary_loop_b.child_loops:

          • For each secondary pump associated with secondary loop: for secondary_pump in loop_pump_dictionary[secondary_loop_b.id]:

            Rule Assertion - Component:

            • Case 1: If secondary pump is modeled with variable-speed drives: if secondary_pump.speed_control == "VARIABLE_SPEED": PASS

            • Case 2: Else: else: FAIL
