Output Variable for Coil Inlet Air Temperature in EnergyPlus Refrigeration Systems (AirChiller)

Hello everyone,

I am working on modeling a refrigeration system in EnergyPlus, specifically focusing on air chillers. According to the European Standard rating system, the actual cooling capacity of the air chiller is defined as a function of the dry-bulb air temperature entering the coil (Tcoil,inlet​) and the average refrigerant evaporating temperature (Tevap). The formula for the total cooling capacity is as follows:

My question is: Does EnergyPlus provide an output variable for the dry-bulb air temperature entering the coil (Tcoil,inlet)?

Thank you for your insights!
