[Equest-users] Evaporative Coolers

[Nick Caton]

If you think of this list like a group of doctors, you're a patient
who's describing a condition (unmet load hours) without providing any
symptoms.  While some may be inclined to give you a shotgun list of
things to check, you've indicated you've already tried everything
suspect... 

Odds are you'll get faster and more useful responses if you share what
you've tried/checked/observed regarding these coolers and any associated
components/schedules/quirks of the served zones.  

If you've already exhaustively pored over every input and feel familiar
with how each is used, it might be more productive to post some of the
screens defining these items or post your files.

While I've designed with them before, I personally have zero experience
energy-modeling swamp coolers so I can't offer any specific advice - I
just recognized you might want to more fully frame your question.

Best of luck!

I'm having trouble resolving cooling unmet load hours of two large
direct-evaporative coolers, one serving a kitchen and the other an
adjacent cafeteria. I've tried all of the suspect reasons to solve the
issue but can't figure it out. Seems simple enough, but I'd appreciate
help.

 

Thanks in advance.
