[Equest-users] Bug with Secondary Loops?

[Ömer Moltay]

Dear All,

We have created a fairly complex model of a building with chilled beams. 
When we connect the chilled beams to secondary CHW loops, we get the 
following error:

Loop: secondaryCHW_CB40                has a coil curve generating
              a negative capacity ratio.  Check the loop supply
              temperature,   71.F, for consistency with the coil curves

OR

Loop: secondaryCHW_CB41                has a coil curve generating
              a negative capacity ratio.  Check the loop supply
              temperature,  181.F, for consistency with the coil curves

Two observations:
(1) The CHW loops obviously have lower supply setpoints, 60F in this case.
(2) When we connect the chilled beams to the primary loop, then this 
error disappeares.

I would appreciate some feedback on what could be causing this.
