Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Air Flow Mixing

[Germana Regis <germanaregis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe it could be a good idea but I must mix the airflows before entering an HVAC system dedicated to the first zone.

I can explain better.

The idea is to mix part of the return flow of the second zone with the inlet flow entering the first zone to reduce the energy consumption.

I can't recirculate the air stream returning from the first zone because the process is pollutant, so I need to extract hot air from the neighboring zone and mix it with outdoor air.

But I don't know if it is possible to connect the two fluxes and how.

Thanck you very much!

I would define a second zone. In this zone you must define the moisture and heat loads with a "OtherEquipment" object. How you ventilate it I leave you to decide, but I would use a simple ventilation object.

Then I would mix the airflow into your main zone using a "ZoneMixing" object. Be aware that the air flows must balance, else a (many) warning(s) result(s). If mixing occurs both ways, you'll need two zonemixing objects.
