RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] The control problem
Dear Phil,
Thank you so much for your help. I checked the outlet node of the boiler, the information is like
------------------------------
BOILER OUTLET NODE:System Node Temperature [C](Hourly): 80 (correct)
BOILER OUTLET NODE:System Node Mass Flow Rate [kg/s](Hourly): 0.0010233 (seems the boiler is shutting down.)
------------------------------
The information of the heating coil:
------------------------------
FAU_1FLOOR SUPPLY SIDE INLET:System Node Temperature [C](Hourly): 13.00310 (This should be 80. Maybe it is because the boiler shuts down.)
FAU_1FLOOR SUPPLY SIDE INLET:System Node Mass Flow Rate [kg/s](Hourly): 0.554955 (This is strange since the boiler provides the hot water to several heating coil. The mass flow rate of the boiler should be greater than the mass flow rate of the heating coil. However, the opposite is true.)
------------------------------
Can you give me some suggestions about this phenomenon? Thank you very much.

Dear Ying Yan,
Check that you actually have water through the coil and through the boiler, using report variables for the actual flow. Then check that the boiler is enabled - it may be scheduled off.
Hope this helps,
Phil

You can see that the setpoint is 14 C, and the hot water temperature is just 11.71 C. Therefore, the air temperature cannot increase because the water temperature is lower than the air temperature. But it is strange because the water temperature should be 80 C since it comes from the boiler, rather than 11.71 C. I do not know why this thing happened. Can you give me some suggestions? Thank you.
