2014-12-28 12:14:30 -0500 asked a question Unsure about autosizing results

If I use only one coil in the system and I would like it to be autosize. Am I doing it right there I am not very sure. image description image description

Coil:Cooling:DX:TwoStageWithHumidityControlMode,
DOAS Cooling Coil, !- Name
HVACTemplate-Always 1, !- Availability Schedule Name
DOAS Supply Fan Outlet, !- Air Inlet Node Name

But Design Load is 76kW already but my coil only has 46kW

One more question is that in the Sizing:System I dont have any precool or preheat in the outdoor airduct what should I input there

2014-12-22 13:15:36 -0500 asked a question DOAS input Problem

I have started my simulation and It shows the following warning and I am not sure what is it and what to do about it. I have trying to set up a DOAS System

DOAS System

Schematics

First of all, I am not very sure what are these errors come from and how can I solve it?

My next warnings are the following. As This is a DOAS System I am not sure how to adjust the input to Energyplus

Yes, !- Use Outdoor Air DX Cooling Coil
7.2; !- Outdoor Air DX Cooling Coil Leaving Minimum Air Temperature {C}

The maximum Outdoor Air DX Cooling Coil Leaving Minimum Air Temperature is 7.2C But What If my leaving air temperature is larger than 7.2? Can it still be a DOAS Coil?
