I have seen this sort of thing happen when the input for water coil’s control is set up with both a Unitary system and a Controller:WaterCoil. It needs to be one or the other but not both.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] RE: Water coil meets the load with no water flow rate...
I must add that this is not only a report problem. With total water coil cooling coil rate and input/output water temperature, I could do the math to determine water flow rate...
The point is that I have 70kW total cooling coil rate, and 0kW chiller electric power, so the 0m3/s water flow rate is really accounted by E+...
Hoping this could help understanding my problem,
Luc

Dear community,
I have some troubles modeling a dehumidification system that consists of a water cooling coil and a water heating coil in series, for both fluids: the output water from the cooling coil (at approximately 20°C) is used to re-heat the air stream through a heating coil before heading back to the chiller.
As I run simulations, it appears that the loads are met, and that the water temperatures at cooling coil inlet node, cooling coil outlet node (=heating coil inlet node) and heating coil outlet node are coherent: 5/19.3/14.4°C. But there is no water flow rate reported, using both "system node massflowrate" and "system node volume flow rate standard density", while air flow rate is well reported.
I get no warning or errors on this in the err file.
Does anyone have any idea on what is happening here?
Thanks,
Luc
