If you are trying to model a custom cooling coil however you will need a
considerable amount of manufacturers data. Solving for any one variable in
a dry/wet surface is no trivial task the texts below should provide some
additional insight into the problem. You may want to see what Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory produced and how they got there (

Hello,



Does anyone have information on how to create custom cooling capacity and
performance curves for air handling units? My goal is to compare actual
equipment so I don’t want to use the default curves.



In the past I have seen information for chillers but I don’t recall if
there was similar information for air handling units.



Any information is appreciated.



Thanks,



Otto
