[EnergyPlus_Support] Confusion over Fan in AirFlow Network

Confusion over Fan 


Hello everyone,

i am starting to use the AirFlow Network with only the
MultiZone:Surfaces referring to the SIMPLE house example.

>From the .err file, a zone needs two surfaces and i have added a
door to each zone. So, correct me if i am wrong, the air in the
AirFlow Network goes through ceiling crack/leakage and door leakage.

As i am only studying the thermal aspects of the building envelop, i
do not use a Direct air or fan as in the Simple House example. But i
have a Window AirConditioner in the second zone.

The messages in .err file, includes:

GetFanIndex: Fan not found=Zone2WindACFan
GetAirflowNetworkINput: The fan type defined in
AIRFLOWNETWORK:DISTRIBUTION:COMPONENT CONSTANT VOLUME FAN =
ZONE2WINDACFAN is not allowed etc.

The 'Fan' in the error message can only refer to the fan in Window
AC. But how do i enter the index of this fan or overcome the errors
in the .err file?

kind regards,
ooi
