Hi, all, <div><br></div><div>I'm trying to model a PTAC system with economizer within E+ environment. </div><div><br></div><div>The specification of the system is:</div><div><p>The OA economizer here is to provide "free" cooling during times of cool ambient
conditions. The amount of outside air taken into the building will vary between
the design percentage and the maximum percentage. And the design percentage of OA of the system is not defined as related to occupancy or floor area but 25% of total supply air.</p><p>I read the I/O reference about Controller:OutdoorAir, but it seems:</p>
<p>"If all the limits are satisfied, the outdoor air controller does the following for cycling fan systems: the outdoor air flow rate is set to the maximum when the fan cycles on. If the limits are not satisfied, the outdoor air flow rate is at the minimum when the fan cycles on."</p>
<p>The problem is it's either minimum or maximum instead of modulating according to outdoor and return air condition?</p><p>Does anyone have suggestions on this? Help greatly appreciated.</p><p>Do I have to go to EMS for this control scheme?</p>
<p>Best,</p><p>Qinpeng<br clear="all"></p><div><br></div>-- <br><p><span style="color:#1f497d">Qinpeng Wang, PhD Student<br></span></p><p><span style="color:#1f497d">College of Architecture</span></p><p><span style="color:#1f497d">Georgia Institute of Technology</span></p>
