Hi All,
I have created a System, which has only one zone(25000 sqft) using DX
coils for cooling, Furnace for heating; and system type is CAV Packaged
Single Zone system.
I have set the COOLING-CAPACITY = 1500.00 kBTU/hr.
When I was going through the HOURLY reports, I found the following data.
Below are the Peak Cooling Report Summary, followed by the HVAC Cooling
load for the peak day(Jun 21) and the current zone temperatures/
Thermostat Temperatures for that same day.
MY Queries are:
If my HVAC system is designed to remove a heat load of 1500kBTU, and the
total Heat to be removed on Jun21 (8am) was 1004375+44188 = 1048563 BTU/hr
only, why wasnt the HVAC system unable to remove it? The first doubt was
about insufficient CFM (of the used constant volume system). But the same
CFM is able to handle higher loads at other times.
Please see the SS-J Report during the particular hour the load was never
met.
Please resolve my confusion regarding this sufficient cooling capacity vs
unmet load scenarios.
I am attaching the inp, weather file for your reference (in case it
helps).
