<p>Richard,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just dragged out Type 539, connected it to a TMY-3 weather file and ran it for a month. The results from the model exactly match the results from the Qu=Mdot*Cp*(Tout-Tin) equation to the 12th decimal. Check to make sure you have the same specific heat in both, have the correct connections etc. If you are still running into issues then send the project to your distributor for a closer look.</p>
