[EnergyPlus_Support] regeneration coil

["davide.loba" <davide.loba@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have a problem with a desiccant dehumidifier, placed in the outside 
air system. I need to simulate a hot water coil as regeneration air 
heater, instead of a gas coil. To do that, I left blank the fields 
about the regeneration air heater in DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIER object, and 
I put a COIL:Water:SimpleHeating coil in the outside air system. To 
control it, I use a CONTROLLER:SIMPLE controller, with the air outlet 
node as control_node, and water inlet node as actuator_node. There is a 
SET POINT:MANAGER:SCHEDULED fixed setpoint temperature (70°C) on air 
outlet node.
The simulation ends correctly, without any severe error, but the 
regeneration coil doesn't work: "total water heating coil rate" is 
always 0. 
Is it possibile to simulate this type of system?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Loba
