[Equest-users] Chilled Beams Modeling

[Vikram Sami]

I've done this only once, but here's how I went about it:

 

You model the chilled beam system as an induction unit (assuming it s a
passive chilled beam). You will need to model it's OA from a DOAS
system. Since the chilled beam system itself does not use fan energy you
will need to set your kW/cfm at zero. The fan energy gets captured at
the air handler. Now with the lab I was modeling the chilled beam was
running on 100% OA, so this was a valid approach.

 

 If the chilled beam air handler has recirculation air (return air),
this might not be a valid approach.

Wallie,

 

I've never tried this method, but I came across this thread yesterday
when I was perusing the archives for other data...let us know if this
approach is successful for your project.

Hi guys!

Does anyone knows how to model chilled beams in e-quest? What system
should i used?

Thank you so much in advance.
