Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] DX Cooling Coil warning





Mr. Dirkes,

Thanks for your reply.

But, I have a question. According to Appendix G, should the system not be capable of providing heating and cooling throughout the year?

Regards,
Vinay

Dear Vinay,

 

·         A simple way to fix this is to assign an availability schedule to the cooling coil which is ON only during warmer months.  For the coil below, I?ve used an ?AlwaysOn? schedule, but you can create any schedule that you like, perhaps similar to the one I show at the bottom.

Hello All,

How do I control a Dx:CoolingCoil from operating when the inlet air temperature required no cooling. In my case,

Full load outlet air dry-bulb temperature < 2C. This indicates the possibility of coil frost/freeze. Outlet temperature = 1.90 C.
   **   ~~~   **  ...Occurrence info = RUN PERIOD, 01/16 11:24 - 11:26
   **   ~~~   ** ... Possible reasons for low outlet air dry-bulb temperatures are: This DX coil
   **   ~~~   **    1) may have a low inlet air dry-bulb temperature. Inlet air temperature = 16.946 C.
   **   ~~~   **    2) may have a low air flow rate per watt of cooling capacity. Check inputs.
   **   ~~~   **    3) is used as part of a HX assisted cooling coil which uses a high sensible effectiveness. Check inputs.

this is what happens..

I have a Setpoint Manager (Mixed Air) for the cooling coil outlet node. The reference setpoint for this is through Setpoint manager:Singlezone:Reheat.

Could anyone please tell me what is wrong with this?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Vinay
