Energy consumption of fans is as high as the cooling energy consumption when modeling a comercial VRF air conditioner.

Hello!

I'm modelling an VRF air conditioner following the classes using in the example: "VariableRefrigerantFlow_5Zone" and using the commercials models of the library NRREL (https://bcl.nrel.gov/) for the internal and external units. In all the cases as a result I'm obtaining that the consumption of the fans is nearly equal to the cooling energy consumption. These is normal??

In all the cases as a result I'm obtaining that the electric consumption of the fans is nearly equal to the cooling energy consumption. These is normal??

For example: Electricity [GJ]: Cooling = 86,63; Heating = 20,77; Fans = 96,82.

For example: example, Electricity [GJ]: [GJ]:

  • Cooling = 86,63; 86,63
  • Heating = 20,77; 20,77
  • Fans = 96,82.
