[Equest-users] maximum humidity limit

[Amruta Khanolkar]

Hi all,

I am working on a preservation facility project in eQuest. Because of
the specific type of the building, keeping temperature and humidity
constant all throughout the year is of high importance. This project
also has desiccant system for dehumidification. Due to eQuest's
capacity I have modeled the entire building except the desiccant
system in eQuest. So right now the dehumidification load is on the
cooling coil. The maximum and minimum humidity levels are 45% and 35%
respectively. I just wanted to remove the maximum humidity limit (no
dehumidification) and increase it to 80% or 90% just to study the
dehumidification load on the cooling coil. I was expecting the cooling
energy consumption to go down compared to the original consumption
after I remove/increase the max humidity limit but surprisingly my
numbers don't change at all. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Amruta
