Dear All,

We have created a fairly complex model of a building with chilled beams.
When we connect the chilled beams to secondary CHW loops, we get the
following error:

Loop: secondaryCHW_CB40 has a coil curve generating
a negative capacity ratio. Check the loop supply
temperature, 71.F, for consistency with the coil curves

OR

Loop: secondaryCHW_CB41 has a coil curve generating
a negative capacity ratio. Check the loop supply
temperature, 181.F, for consistency with the coil curves

Two observations:
(1) The CHW loops obviously have lower supply setpoints, 60F in this case.
(2) When we connect the chilled beams to the primary loop, then this
error disappeares.

I would appreciate some feedback on what could be causing this.

Best regards,
