Modelica Buildings MixingVolumeMoistAir

Hi,

I am trying to develop a cooling and dehumidifying coil and would like to use Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolumeMoistAir.

I wonder why this model uses enthalpyOfWater for calculating QLat_flow instead of enthalpyOfVapotization which I've found to be the standard for calculating latent heat flow? I am surely missing something theoretical here.

The issue is that since I am calculating mWatFlow from Sensible and Latent heat calculations, the Q_flow calculated by the MixingVolumeMoistAir is different from the ones I calculate internally giving me big errors in enthalpy of outflowing air.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Bests regards,
