[Equest-users] G.3.1.2.8 Design Air Flow

[Vikram Sami]

To follow up on what Robb said, the fan delta T is the heat gain across the fan from the fan motor. 

 

You input your supply air temperature in this window:

The delta T G.3.1.2.8 is referring to a 20 degree delta between room cooling setpoint and supply air temperature.  For example:

 

Room Cooling Setpoint =        75 °F 

20 °F delta from G.3.1.2.8  = -20 °F 

Supply Air Temperature =      55 °F 

 

A 20 degree fan delta T would be a MONSTER of a fan..

When I use delta T 20F for supply fan, the CFM stays the same and the cooling load is up 60% and heating load is slightly lower.  Any clue?

 

Is there a correct way to put in the Delta T 20F (after I set default and not using fan static pressure) and eQuest will calculate the correct CFM?

 

Thanks for the help.
