If I use only one coil in the system and I would like it to be autosize. Am I doing it right there I am not very sure. image description image description

DOAS Cooling Coil, !- Name

0, !- Cooling Design Air Flow Rate {m3/s}
DesignDay, !- Heating Design Air Flow Method
0, !- Heating Design Air Flow Rate {m3/s}
ZoneSum; !- System Outdoor Air Method

But Design Load is 76kW already but my coil only has 46kW

One more question is that in the Sizing:System I dont have any precool or preheat in the outdoor airduct what should I input there

@31415926G. From your input file, I can tell you are using EnergyPlus. In the future, please tag questions with the engine you are using since most questions end up being engine specific.

The diagram shows three cooling coils which are all in the outdoor air duct. These will all be sized to deliver the Precool Design Temperature which is 11C in the input above. EnergyPlus sizing does not currently know how to divide the load between multiple coils in series.
