[Equest-users] Hot Deck Leaving Air Temperature Incorrect

[Xavier García Casals]

I have also found very strange results on the hourly reports of heating 
coil temperature, cooling coil temperature , and coil entering 
temperature. Often the reported values do not make much sense, and 
depending on the system type the nosense is in one way or in another. In 
general, it seems the 'entering coil temperature' gives the right value 
for the mixing of return and OA air. The 51ºF for the heating coil 
temperature looks like a standard for this hourly output (almost always 
the same). It always alarms rather a lot to find these numeric values 
without sense (you can't help thinking what about the other values you 
are using to take important desitions from your simulation results...), 
but I have done some testing and it seems that energy values are on the 
right direction in spite of this wrong reported coil temperatures (whe 
baseboards are present energy values do not fit as good as with coil 
heating, but still it goes on the right direction).
So, I would think this afaire is mostly a bug in reporting those 
variables, but it would be nice if one of those involved in eQuest 
development could confirm this point.
