[EnergyPlus_Support] cfm/ton limits

["asheaffe" <sheaffer@xxxxxxx>]

I am having a problem getting PTAC cooling coils to size correctly.  
The coil cooling capacities are sizing smaller than they should 
(considerably smaller - by a factor of almost 6).  The eio file 
reports that the coils are sizing right up at the limit of 450 cfm/ton 
(6.04E-05 m3/W).  Sooo - I am taking this to mean that the low tonnage 
is correspondingly limiting the air flow.  However, I need more 
tonnage to supply zone temps - so why is the sizing routing limiting 
my tonnage?  

How do I move them off of this limit?  The PTAC air flows are all 
autosized.  My zone sizing design cooling temp is 14C - which I think 
is fairly resonable.  

Thanks for the help,

Andrew
