Folks:

Does anyone know what the SV-A Addition Rate (kbtu/hr) means?

Thank you,

>From the DOE-2 HELP manual:
?
EXTRACTION RATE
is the cooling extraction rate at design conditions.? This is not the value used in the simulation; that value is recalculated hourly and depends on the loads, the conditions, the thermostat type and the thermostat throttling range.? ADDITION RATE (heating) is treated similarly.
?
I interpret this to mean the Addition rate of the heating coil at 70 DegF room teperature (the LOADS based parameter).
