color=#0000ff size=2>You must then adjust your cooling capacity. Remember that a
Munters Unit doesn't need to "over-cool". You could approximate this using a
psychometric chart. Figure out the difference in enthalpy between your mixed air
condition and your coil discharge condition (accounting for
over-cooling) for a regular unit. Then figure out the enthalpy difference
for your Munters unit, which would be your mixed air condition and your desired
supply air condition (55F, 50%RH for example). The ratio between those
differences should give you a good approximation on how much to
de-rate your cooling capacity.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Has anyone modeled (or approximated) a munters unit in eQuest?
Any suggestions on how this could be
done?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>--<BR>Karen<BR></BODY></HTML>
