[EnergyPlus_Support] AHU with plate heat exchanger and no mixing box, possible?



Dear All,

I am modelling an AHU with a plate heat exchanger an no mixing box.
It seems that this is not possible in E+ and that I must have an OutdoorAir:Mixer object in the AirLoopHVAC:OutdoorAirSystem:EquipmentList.
Can anybody confirm this limitation?
This is the error that I get:

   ** Severe  ** OutdoorAir:Mixer for AirLoopHVAC:OutdoorAirSystem AHU1_OUTDOOR_AIR_SYSTEM not found.
   **  Fatal  ** GetAirPathData: Errors found getting AirLoopHVAC
  


I tried a workaround, having the OutdoorAir:Mixer and imposing a Minimum Fraction of Outdoor Air Schedule constanly equal to 1.
But this lead to the follwoing warnings:

** Warning ** HeatExchanger:AirToAir:SensibleAndLatent "OA HEAT RECOVERY 1":  Average air volume flow rate is <50% or >130% warning continues. Air flow rate ratio statistics follow.

** Warning ** HeatExchanger:AirToAir:SensibleAndLatent "OA HEAT RECOVERY 1":  Unbalanced air volume flow ratio exceeds  2:1 warning continues. HX flow ratio statistics follow.

Is there any better solution to this issue?
I would kindly appreciate anyone's help on this.
Kind regards,
Andrea
