hello;
I am trying to simulate a walk in cooler in eQuest, but the zone entering supply air temperature under coil capacity/control, cooling control and reset is not allowing me to enter value below 55F. I need to set it up to 25 F. is there a way to overcome this problem.
thank you for your help

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

I know about the water run-around loop, is there a run-around loop that uses
a heat pump system?

It would have a refrigerant coil in the exhaust air stream and a refrigerant
coil in the outside air stream. I would think this would allow the outside
air to be conditioned to a temperature above (or below) the exhaust air.

I don't know if it would be practical, but I can't find anybody who makes
anything on the web.

Hussein,

I had this problem in 1985 when we simulated an ice rink with DOE-2. This was documented in the paper:

Haberl, J., Claridge, D. 1985. ?Retrofit Energy Studies of a Recreation Center,? ASHRAE Transactions-Research, Vol. 91, Pt. 2, pp.

1421 - 1433 (June).

We seemed to be able to estimate the answer by raising the "A" in the "U x A x delta T" expression that relates to the conduction. A similar expression could be used to account for the heat gain from the infiltration/ventilation...

You probably need to use some of the archived eQUEST releases:

Download a complete eQUEST version 3.61b installation

Download the eQUEST version 3.55 refrigeration version add-on

Volume 2R: DOE-2.2 Language Dictionary: Refrigeration Version

These are made to work on refrigeration (i.e. cold rooms), and should avoid
the below 55?F issue
