Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to precondition outside air?



There are examples of how to connect a heating coil in an outside air 
stream. Search the example files for the "outside air system." This 
objects equipment list defines the equipment located in the outside air 
steam. One example for a cooling and heating coil connection in an 
outside air system is found in 5ZoneAirCooled.idf. I am not sure if 
there is an example of an evaporative cooler in an outside air system, 
however, the following types of evaporative coolers are allowed in the 
outside air stream.

EVAPCOOLER:INDIRECT:CELDEKPAD
EVAPCOOLER:INDIRECT:WETCOIL
