Hello community,

I'm currently working on simulating a walk-in freezer using the Air-chiller object, but I've come across some warnings. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of them, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Zakaria, Have you created some output variables and reviewed them to see what is happening (in more detail than is given by the warning)? Often, when you see details of the timestep (fan is on/off, zone temp, coil output, etc.) it provides insights regarding the cause of the problem.
