<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have tried it, but I end up
getting an error saying the leaving air temp off the coil needs to be at least
6F higher than the entering water temp to the coil, and for some reason I don’t
get the same error for the FCU. In an active chilled beam, the coil is actually
just cooling the room induction air, then mixing it with the primary air from
the DOAS. I think that equest assumes the air mixes before entering the coil,
which fundamentally is the same thing, but the numbers trip this error message.
I’ll look into more why the FC system doesn’t make that happen, but the two seem
to be essentially the same system except for the fan (which I make 0.000001
kW/cfm anyway).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal> I'm not totally up on using DOAS with
eQuest or with chilled beams being in Canada but it would seem to me the OA
will have to be used to control humidity in the space. The chilled beam
should not be used for latent cooling, sensible only, to prevent condensation
issues. The DOAS will need to control the dewpoint of the room air and
maintain it below the operating temperature of the coil in the chilled
beam. The chilled beam would only be dealing with the sensible load from
the space. The DOAS would do everything else. The question would be
will eQuest allow a single zone AHU c/w economizer and a baseboard system with
negative heat? I have never tried that with eQuest.<br>

I know that in DOAS systems like active chilled beams, the primary air often
takes on a fairly large chunk of space latent cooling, and if this can’t be

believe the results.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m working on modeling an active chilled beam system.
It consists of the chilled beams and a dedicated unit to provide primary air
(mainly ventilation air) to the beams at 55 degrees. I’ve modeled the
chilled beam system as a fan coil system, but am wondering about my options for
modeling the primary air. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My question is this: If I attach the
primary/ventilation air unit to the fan coil system in the FC’s Outdoor Air tab
under “Outside Air from System” will the temperature of the air coming from
that unit have an impact on the load in the space? I have a ton of hours
at very low load during the winter months, and I want eQuest to use the 55
degree primary air as the first stage of cooling for the space and not “double
up” the cooling energy by cooling the 55 degree air and then not use that for
cooling in the zones.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If anybody has some input, it would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
