Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] VAV System Part Load Fan Power Curve Difference between DOE Reference Model and STD90.1




Are you using the SI version of the standard? Sometimes there are rounding errors. Consider the IP standard the 'master'.

I noticed there is a difference between part-load fan power equation defined in ASHRAE Standard 90.1- Appendix G (2004/07/10) and the fan curve included in the DOE reference models (e.g. newly built (2004) medium sized office building E+ model) for VAV system. ASHRAE 90.1 seems more conservative on the part load performance. Anyone here knows where DOE reference model get the part-load equation from?

ASHRAE 90.1-2004, 2007, 2010 Appendix G has:
Pfan = 0.0013 + 0.1470 x PLRfan + 0.9506 x (PLRfan)^2 -0.0998 x (PLRfan)^3
where
P fan = fraction of full-load fan power and
PLRfan = fan part-load ratio (current cfmldesign cfm).
