[bldg-sim] Leaving air temperature for chilled water coils



Here’s a need to go beyond the standard DOE2.1E fatal error-type limitations to simulate a real situation.

 

Does anyone in DOE2 Land know how to get DOE2.1E to allow the chilled water coil leaving air temperature to be 35 degrees F for special space dehumidification requirements?  I’ve specified in PLANT input a hermetic centrifugal chiller with a cooling tower to deliver 32 degree (the minimum allowed) chilled water.  I’ve specified no piping losses in PLANT, and a coil bypass factor of 0.01 with a blow-through fan and a chilled water coil water-side delta-t of 7 degrees (the minimum allowed) in SYSTEMS.  Also, DOE2.1Ev132 will not allow me to specify a coil chilled water supply temperature below 35 degrees under any circumstances that I know of.  Then the code requires at least a 6 degree coil water-to-air temperature differential, which limits me to a 41 degrees F coil leaving air temperature.  I know that glycol chillers can go lower than 32 degrees, chilled water can be delivered at below 35 degrees and beefier coils can beat a 6 degree differential, but can DOE2 be coaxed somehow to simulate these extremes?
