font-family:Arial'>In calculating the fan power for the baseline system I used
the equation in section G3.1.2.9. For my proposed building I took the bhp from
the equipment submittals and used the same equation in G3.1.2.9 to convert to
kW in order to calculate my kW/CFM input in eQUEST. However, after doing this
I get an error when running the simulation due to the air passing over my
chilled water coils being less than 6 deg F more than my chilled water
temperature. After looking into the problem I found that eQUEST is calculating
a higher fan heat gain than what was shown in the submittal, based on the
kW/CFM input. I then noticed that if I use a standard conversion from bhp to
kW (1 bhp = 0.7457 kW), I get a lower kW. Am I correctly using equation
G3.1.2.9 for the proposed fan power or should I just be doing a standard
conversion? It doesn’t seem possible to get the right temperature across
the coil without calculating my proposed fan kW differently. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
