Thanks for your full explanation�I agree�my issue is that tt the inputs for a two speed D coil are not following the game plan. Increasing SHR stops humidity calculation
errors�

Subject: Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Coil:Cooling:DX:TwoSpeed and SHR
Edward,
DX cooling coils that are running at lower speed, which also implies lower supply air flow rate, is expected to have lower SHR compared to higher
speed. The main reason is that the whole coil surface area is available for lower supply air flow, hence a better coil surface and air contact that enhances moisture removal. When the air has more contact with the cold coil surface, the fraction of supply
air approaching the apparatus dew point increases, which enhances de-humidification potential.
Some humidity control features of DX system allow the supply fan to run at reduced supply air flow rate to enhance de-humidification potential.
Hope this helps,
Bereket

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Coil:Cooling:DX:TwoSpeed and SHR
I am modeling an existing building with several roof top VAV systems. I have system model numbers so I did not autosize any of the Coil:Cooling:DX:TwoSpeed
system. The SHR inputs for the model and error messages running the model make no sense to me:
Manufacturer data says SHR at low speed is much lower than at high speed (makes perfect sense to me), but E+ complains if the high speed and low speed
SHR differ too much.
Using manufacturer data to calculate SHR inputs results in psychrometric calculation errors about RH exceeding 100%. While the error message would suggest
that more latent cooling is needed (lower SHR) the actual fix is to increase the SHR (less latent cooling).
So my model runs now runs without complaints with high speed SHR = low speed SHR = 0.77, not close to the manufacturer data. I would appreciate it if
anyone could explain this E+ logic to me this.
