Autosizing Rated Air Flow Rate for a DX Cooling Coil

Hello!

After reading InputOutput Reference, I feel a little bit confused about the subroutines used in EnergyPlus simulation process. For example, I am wondering what does it means when I leave the Rated Air Flow Rate field as autosized in a DX Single Speed cooling Coil. Does it use the air flow obtained in the Sizing:Zone object? If it does, as Sizing Zone use Zone Cooling Design Supply Air Temperature to calculate air flow, the coil thermostat temperature have to assume the same value as the Zone Cooling Design Supply Air Temperature?

Thanks for the attention and support!
