<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=480210921-04122001>I am working on a
simulation of a supermarket using DOE2.1e and using the refrigeration
model. I have two questions regarding the effect of humidity on the
refrigeration system. Firstly, when the fans are off, humidity is not
reported in the SS-N as it uses return air humidity. What does the
refrigeration model use for space humidity during the periods when the fan is
off?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=480210921-04122001>More fundamentally,
how is humidity data reflected in the refrigeration energy
simulation? Does the defrost energy reduce with reduced humidity? How is
the compressor energy reduced with reduced space humidity?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
