<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Carol, I am not sure I understand what you mean. Can you draw a picture or explain further? If I have one DOAS, how do I go about specifying entering conditions for its ERV other than outside air and exhaust?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am also wondering just exactly what happens to DOAS supply air. According to the literature it appears that the outside air is fed through the DOAS, which then heats it and cools it via the DOAS entered heating and cooling supply temperatures, and then the supply air is passed to the associated space air (which I assume has the normal space temperature range of 70 to 78) which it then transmitted to the downstream terminal units as their primary air. At least I think this is what I think I read.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Does anyone else have a different interpretation? Maybe we are passing the DOAS supply air to the terminal units at the supply heating and cooling temperatures the same way the DOAS supply air gets passed to its associated space?</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>If I figure this out, I will share the results. Desiccant systems like the one I am modeling are being used more and more often as energy savers in humid climates. Somehow we need to figure this out or come up with an equivalent.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Kathryn,<BR><BR>Just a couple of quick thoughts. Do you need to physically specify 2 DOAS units? Could you just specify one with an ERV and with the entering conditions of the first unit and the leaving conditions of the second unit? I'm not thinking of any downside to doing it that way but I'm not deep in it like you are. Let me know what you think.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Carol<BR><BR>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Has anyone ever tried to model 2 DOAS units in series? I have successfully modeled a single DOAS/multiple fan coil system, but I have never tried to string two DOAS units together by feeding the supply air output of the first DOAS into the outside air input of the second DOAS. The reason I ask is that I am looking for a way to model a DOAS that has an ERV device located downstream after a heating and a cooling coil. Does anyone know whether DOE-2 would treat the system exhaust air coming back through the second DOAS ERV any differently than the exhaust air going back through a single DOAS with an ERV unit? </SPAN></FONT></P>
