<TITLE>Modeling DX with reheat in VisualDOE/DOE-2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a fairly simple system in a building that I am modeling but I'm not sure the best DOE-2 system to use. The building is served by one air handler in the middle of the building with DX cooling and no heating at the unit level. Each of the two sides of the building has electric resistance reheats in the ducts; I'd figure I'd model the building with two zones each with 50 kW reheat. I considered modeling the system as Packaged Single Zone AC with Heating and Subzone Reheating, however, with this system the heating in the control zone comes from the air handler and only the subzones have reheat capabilities. With this system I'd have to set up a dummy control zone to truly model the building. The system also is close to the Constant-Volume Reheat Fan System in the DOE-2 manual, but I have DX cooling and not a chiller and cooling coil system. With this system I'd have to convert the cooling loads of the chiller to that of a DX system. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone have any experience with this type of system and know the best way to proceed?</FONT>
