Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Multispeed DX Cooling Coil



Ana Rui:

I ran the input file and could not repeat the warnings using the 
PRT_BRAGANCA_IWEC.epw weather file specified in the input. However I found 
some inputs which may cause the warnings.

The numbers of speeds for heating and cooling are 2 in the 
UnitarySystem:MultiSpeedHeatPump:AirToAir object. The next four inputs 
should be:
2.0833, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during heating operation, Speed 1 
{m3/s}
4.1667, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during heating operation, Speed 2 
{m3/s}
2.0833, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during cooling operation, Speed 1 
{m3/s}
4.1667; !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during cooling operation, Speed 2 
{m3/s}
There is no need to input values for Speeds 3 and 4.

Your inputs are:

2.0833, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during heating operation, Speed 1 
{m3/s}
4.1667, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during heating operation, Speed 2 
{m3/s}
autosize, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during heating operation, Speed 
3 {m3/s}
autosize, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during heating operation, Speed 
4 {m3/s}
2.0833, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during cooling operation, Speed 1 
{m3/s}
4.1667, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during cooling operation, Speed 2 
{m3/s}
autosize, !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during cooling operation, Speed 
3 {m3/s}
autosize; !- Supply air volumetric flow rate during cooling operation, Speed 
4 {m3/s}

Two additional field inputs of autosize (Supply air volumetric flow rate 
during heating operation, Speed 3 and 4) are recognized by E+ as cooling 
flow rates. Since the inputs are autosize, E+ calculated flow rates as 
1.18959 at Speed 1 and 2.37918 at Speed 2. The ratio of flow rate (1.18) to 
the rated capacity at 42900 may be out of range.

By the way, E+ uses the flow rate in the 
UnitarySystem:MultiSpeedHeatPump:AirToAir object at each speed. The rated 
flow rate in the Cooling object is used to calculate flow fraction, which is 
used to calculate flow fraction modifier.

Please delete autosize inputs. I expect the warnings may go away. At the 
same time, I am going to revise the program to catch unmatched inputs.

Best regards,

Lixing Gu
