<p class=MsoNormal>Guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am overwhelmed with the response to my post about needing
help with an eQuest calibration. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate
all your willingness to help. I will try some of the things that were
suggested. In the mean time, here is some more information about my eQuest
model:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Location: Indianapolis, Indiana<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Air-Side HVAC: Single-Zone Reheat with chilled water coil,
electric heating coil, and heat recovery<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Water-Side HVAC: Chilled water loop with screw compressor<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is my understanding that with a reheat system, the
cooling coil is supposed to overcool the incoming air to achieve the needed
dehumidification. When this happens, the heating coil is then supposed to
reheat the temperature back up to the zone setpoint. Is this correct? If this
is the case, shouldn’t the heating coil have to do more work? My humidity
setpoint is 45% RH. Also, is there a different way to model a steam humidifier
in eQuest besides the “humidistat” option. It seems limited in
terms of input parameters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have matched the model’s heating element capacity
(kW) to that of the actual building. I will try some of your suggestions, such
as decreasing internal loads, and increasing outside air %. Again, thank you so
much, and I will keep you posted on any progress<o:p></o:p></p>
