[Equest-users] outside air ratio

[Verena Kindl]

Thank you, but i already thought about that and i have nothing specified
there. But now I tried to specify the flow to each zone instead of doing
it for the whole system and then the outdoor air ratio is calculated
correctly. Of course I considered the induction ratio so I specified for
each zone 1962 cfm supply flow (induction ratio of 2) then I get an
outdoor air ratio of 1 and 918 cfm OA per zone. Do you think I can do
that? It is strange so as the other way should work as well.

Hi Verena,

 

Check your zone level OA values. If you want to specify 100% OA at the
system level you have to clear the zone level inputs as they will
override the system level OA inputs.

Subject: [Equest-users] outside air ratio

 

Hi all,

 

I have an induction unit for the whole building, supplying 204000 cfm
outside air to the building. So I specify the supply flow of the system
(204000 cfm) and set the min outside air ratio =1. In the SV-A report it
shows on the system level 0 outside air and therefore no cooling/heating
capacity and for the zone it shows about 800-1100 cfm outside air. Only
if I do not specify the supply flow on the system level then I also get
an outside air ratio of 1 for the system level. Why is it not possible
to tell equest that the 204000 cfm it supplies is only outside air. I
have not specified an economizer so it should be outside air all the
time ??

Have a nice weekend.
