Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Heating/Cooling Coil of PTAC or PRooftopAC Electricity Consumption?





Nadish,
"ElectricEquipment" is not the fan; it is other equipment such as appliances plugged into a wall receptacle.  I think you want to monitor the fan power.  If that is so, use the "Fan Electric Power" variable.

Example:
Output:Variable, HouseFan1, Fan Electric Power, Timestep;

Hello,

I am trying to simulate the HVAC System of a small house with a PTAC or Packaged Rooftop Air Conditioner. Generally when the HVAC system works in a real life scenario (i.e. for a small house) the Heating or Cooling Coil or the Fan consumes a constant electric power whether they are working on Part load or Full load conditions. But in the system I am trying to simulate ,Although regulated by a sophisticated Energy Management System Control (With the help of @Ivan Korolija), The Output of the Electric Equipment has a varying Power Consumption. How can I get rid of this problem?

Background of the question: For the Same problem there were experiments conducted a few years back on a small House' s HVAC system. The power consumption was almost constant. Hence for my research I am trying to simulate the exact same conditions.

I am sharing the links of IDF File and the Excel Results File here. Anyone can excess them on google drive (no sign in would be required.

I would be extremely grateful for any help that can be rendered to tackle this issue. Thank you in Advance.
