[TRNSYS-users] Heating Coil: Type 670-1 bug

[Fred Betz]

Sorry David, my wording was very poor.

What I was trying to get at is that the approach temperatures appear too small.

I have 22C air entering the coil and 29C air leaving the coil.

I have 32C water entering the coil and 25C water leaving the coil.

That is a delta T of just 3C, or 5.4F between the air entering and the water leaving.

It should be about 7-10F based on project experience.

This might be splitting hairs, but with 500,000 CFM of air flow, 1 degree means thousands of dollars. Therefore, every item gets scrutinized.

Also, I was hoping there was a way to set the effectiveness on the cooling coil like I was able to on the heating coil.

Thanks,

Fred

Fred,
 I think you might be confusing efficiency and effectiveness. Effectiveness is actual energy transfer divided by maximum theoretically possible energy transfer. The air and water side heat transfers need to be equal or else there is an energy imbalance across the coil.
Best,
 David

All,

There appears to be a bug in the Type 670-1 heating coil.

I set the effectiveness of the coil to 0.70, but the air and water side heat transfer rates are approximately equal.

Anyone have a fix?

Fred
