Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] New HVAC problem
Dear Mike and Isidor,
thank you very much for your help. After following all your comments I got
my model running. One big problem were different mass flow rates for the
components. It took me a lot of time to figure that point out.
Kind regards
Franz
To get rid of the DX coil warnings, two changes need to be made:
1) Increase the DX coil nominal flow rate to from 1.26 to 2.0 m3/s
and the nominal capacity by the same proportion to 40000W
2) Change the "Supply Air Fan Operation Mode" field on the DX coil to
be "ContFanCycComp"
This system is using the DXSystem:AirLoop construct which must use
continuous fan when the system is active (Input Output Reference, p.
505, we should make that requirement more obvious). For cycling fan
operation, one of the Furnace of Unitary System objects must be used
instead.
There is still a control issue, but I have not pinpointed it yet.
Mike
