[Equest-users] Define unique SUPPLY-FLOW for heating and cooling modes for a PSZ or PVVT system?

[Bishop, Bill via Equest-users]

Hi Phil,
No, not exactly. But you can specify different system MIN-FLOW-RATIOs for cooling mode and heating mode.
For your example, you can set HMIN-FLOW-RATIO to 550/800 = 0.6875.
You would also need to change the FAN-CONTROL to something other than CONSTANT-VOLUME for PSZ systems.
For VAVS and PVAVS systems, you also have the option of specifying an HMAX-FLOW-RATIO, but not greater than 1.0.
You can change these values at the zone level as well.

Regards,
~Bill

Subject: [Equest-users] Define unique SUPPLY-FLOW for heating and cooling modes for a PSZ or PVVT system?


With a PSZ or PVVT system type in eQUEST, is it possible to define a different supply airflow in heating vs cooling mode (ex. 800 CFM in cooling mode; 550 CFM in heating mode)? If so, how can this be done? Thanks!
