I ran your original file with the CZ15RV2 weather file.
There were no fatal error. Many warnings.
The error file is attached.
Your DesignDay file is not the same as those in the .DDY fuke, You need to copy what you need into the IDF file in order to be effective.

Subject: Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Fatal error with sizing of AC coil, what could be the problem?
Jim, Yuanlu, and Richard,
Interesting to hear that this is your "favorite" EnergyPlus error. If
it's a systemic or reoccurring error, that would tell me there's
something faulty in the EnergyPlus sizing algorithm, or at least for
certain conditions.
Looking at the comments from Yuanlu and Richard, who reported that the
file ran fine using either no weather file or for some other location,
this problem seems related to the weather file used. What I used was
CZ15RV2 (here attached in Zip form), which is the standard California
Energy Commission weather file for Climate Zone 15 for the desert areas
in Southern California. The file is also available from the EnergyPlus
Weather web site under California.
I appreciate your suggestion about simply shutting off the AC in
December, but I thought this error was caused in the sizing routine, not
the simulation. Perhaps someone should explain to me in brief how and
when EnergyPlus does its sizing calculations. Isn't it done using the
DDY file?
I get back to the reported outlet air temperature of -74 C in the err
report. This is so out of normal that it makes me question the
algorithm. I looked at the weather file and the lowest temperatures are
still above 0C , so what drives EnergyPlus to derive such a
out-of-bounds result? This reminds me of the problems I had 5 years ago
when some runs were failing, with zone temperatures exceeding 200 C.
I attributed those to iterations going haywire, but here I'm wondering
if it' a problem in the psychrometrics.
I would ask Yuanlu and Richard to try the IDF again with the CZ15RV2
file, and see if the same error occurs.
