Excellent! I was taking a similar approach but this is definitely cleaner.

Many thanks. Raymond

Hi Michael,

Many thanks for your reply. I was intending to use mWat_flow to denote water, in vapor form, removed from the air. Hence the issue (the info does says it has to be liquid form and I overlooked it, my fault).

I'll have a think.

Bests regards, Raymond

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,
