2024-04-10 12:23:34 -0500 | marked best answer | Humidifier:Steam:Gas option "VariableInletWaterTemperature" not working (EnergyPlus) Good day to anyone reading this post. I am working with an HVAC system with humidification and when checking the input-output reference I saw that there is an option for the Gas-Fired humidifier to extract water from an storage tank. And this could be used for thermal storage which I'm interested in simulating. The last variable of the input object "Humidifier:Steam:Gas" can be "FixedInletWaterTemperature" or "VariableInletWaterTemperature", defaulting to fixed. This variable is supposed to either do calculations with water always fixed at 20oC or do calculations with real water temperature. However when using the "Variable" option and changing the temperature schedule of the storage tank the gas consumption of the humidifier is constant, therefore not seeing any difference regarding water temperature. I have tried different temperature schedules for the storage tank as well as the mains, checked that the source code uses the exact string "VariableInletWaterTemperature" as an input for the last field of the humidifier object (If any other than that or fixed is inputted, the simulation stops anyways), I have changed from variable to fixed and it also doesn't change the consumption and I have checked the calculations of the source code "Humidifiers.cc" and I can't see an easy to identify issue. I tested this on the example file for the Humidifer:Gas so that I know the issue isn't in a different place. I use EP 9.4 but I also tested on the latest EP 24.1.0 ad the issue remains. Here is a dropbox link for the EP 9.4 version of the example files, one unchanged and one with the changes in the humidifier and addition of a water storage tank and temperature schedule. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rhi0c1... The full text changes of the input files are from lines 2643 to 2685: For the UNMET HOURS post, the last 6 fields of the storage tank are according to the guide unused and left for possible future ...
