Re: 回复： [EnergyPlus_Support] PsyPsat FnTemp+PsyTsatFnHPb

Thanks, Richard.

The system node temperature values were displayed in Loong's csv. I did not know the significance of those high temperature values, as the chiller temperature values were normal.

I increased the tower capacity by 100 times, (the values highlighted below) and the temperature values are now reduced from 1548°C to around 45°C. This may not be the correct way.

There are still (18) warnings on his IDF error file.

The psyc routines do have limits on inputs. The PsyPsatFnTemp routine returns saturation pressure (Psat) as a function of temperature (Temp). This routine is usually used to calculate RH or wet-bulb temperature. But this is really beside the point. The air temperature input to this routine is 1898.61 C. This is way out of bounds. I would report the air node temperatures in your simulation and see if you can find a node with this high of a temperature which may then help you determine what is happening in your simulation.

He mentioned the EPlus developer's guide. I wonder he has the Eplus source code to compare.

The names mentioned in the error message are the module internal variable name. I do not know the detail of the calculation.

I know that when the RH value is larger than 100%, the calculated temperature can go out of range.

Therefore, you can try increasing the cooling coil temperature, or reducing the wet-bulb temperature of OA to see whether the warning would disappear. These warnings did not stop the simmulation, and the results are still good.

You have 5 or 6 AHU's, timestep = 20, many zones. That is why you get more than 279556 warnings of the same type.

You have other problems in your IDF which prevent the temperature in the zones to be proerly controlled. Because I have not figured out how you named the zones, it will take some time to get an over all view of your design.

You seems to have two buildings (CD and OFF), one three storeys and one five stories. You have cooling chiller, but no heating plant equipment.   AHU provideds the cooling to a low temperature and then heated b the reheat heater in the zone. The reheat heater is also used for Winter heating.

The reheat coil can be used for humidity control with cooling in Summer and heating in Winter. I have not checked your schedules, etc.

The VAV damper setting, if reversed, would also caused the zone temperature control to fail.

You should look at the other warning vessages to fix the problems.

    我查看了e+的EnergyPlus Module Developer's Guide，我理解这几个错误的原因是根据模型计算得的回风温度过高，导致湿空气计算出现问题，因此问题的根源还在于房间的热平衡计算有问题。

   我再看看，有结果会和你联系

                                                                                                                黄森

Hello, I have some questions to ask for your help. I model a VAV with PFP Boxes system with a screw chiller provides chilled water. There are some warnings after I run the model, which are list below:

1) ** Warning ** Temperature out of range [-100. to 200.] (PsyPsatFnTemp)
   **   ~~~   ** Routine=PsyWFnTdbRhPb, Environment=SUMMER DESIGN DAY, at Simulation time=07/15 00:00 - 00:03
   **   ~~~   ** Input Temperature=1898.61

2) ** Warning ** Enthalpy out of range (PsyTsatFnHPb)
   **   ~~~   ** Routine=Unknown, Environment=WINTER DESIGN DAY, at Simulation time=01/21 00:00 - 00:03
   **   ~~~   ** Enthalpy=327804470.59739 Pressure= 101241.00
   **   ~~~   ** Initial Resultant Temperature= 99.01

Can you tell me why these warnings occured, or how can I modify my model to avoid these warnings? Thank you!

Best wishes!

                                                              loong
