Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] out-of-range warning



For object COIL:DX:COOLINGBYPASSFACTOREMPIRICAL, the IO Reference says 
that the rated air volume flow rate must be between 0.00004699 m3/s and 
0.00006041 m3/s per watt of rated total cooling capacity.

Below, you say that you have 0.6 m3/s for rated air volume flow rate, 
and 14000 Watts for rated total cooling capacity (Gross).

(0.6 m3/s) / (14000 W)  =  .00004286 m3/s/W which is outside of the 
acceptable range.

Try reducing the Rated Total Cooling Capacity or increasing the Rated 
Air Volume Flow Rate.
