Hello, I am trying to model a simple kind of evaporative cooling, but it seems difficult using HVAC.
This is exactly what I need to do:
I just would like to model a dummy room beside my analysis room, emulating a ceramic evaporative cooler, with an opening towards outside and another opening towards the analysis room. Then I would like to inlet air to the dummy room and chill it somehow with this formula:
DBTdummy room = DBToutside - 0.8*(DBToutside - WBToutside)
Where:
DBT=dry bulb temperature
WBT=wet bulb temperature
and then inlet cooled air to my analysis room.
So it is just a simple formula with this input:
DBT,WBT
and this output
DBT dummy room
How can I do that?
As usually, thank you so much!
Modeling simple evaporative cooling
Re: Modeling simple evaporative cooling
I resolved. It was simple!
I created a system, called EVAP, with no fuel and a high SEER. Then I created a template in the Building Template Manager:
in System tab I inserted my new system 'EVAP'
in Room condition I defined:
Cooling Profile: on continuosly
SImulation Cooling Setpoint: Timed, with the formula related to evaporative cooling functioning
Then I assigned this template to the zone that simulate the evaporative cooling and run Apache.
Results of emulation are very close to expectations.
