AIRLOOPHVAC

Defines a central forced air system.

Name

Type: alphanumeric

Controller List Name

Type: list of objects ( or AIRLOOPHVAC:CONTROLLERLIST)
Enter the name of an AirLoopHVAC:ControllerList object.

Availability Manager List Name

Type: list of objects ( or AVAILABILITYMANAGERASSIGNMENTLIST)
Enter the name of an AvailabilityManagerAssignmentList object.

Design Supply Air Flow Rate

Unit: m3/s
Default: 0

Branch List Name

Type: list of objects ( or BRANCHLIST)
Name of a BranchList containing all the branches in this air loop

Connector List Name

Type: list of objects ( or CONNECTORLIST)
Name of a ConnectorList containing all the splitters and mixers in the loop

Supply Side Inlet Node Name

Type: node
Name of inlet node where air enters the supply side of the air loop. If this air loop has a return path, then this node is where return air enters the supply side. If this air loop has no return path, then this node is where outdoor air or other air enters the supply side.

Demand Side Outlet Node Name

Type: node
Name of outlet node where return air leaves the demand side and enters the supply side. Required if this air loop has a return path. Leave this field blank if there is no return.

Demand Side Inlet Node Names

Type: node
Name of a Node or NodeList containing the inlet node(s) supplying air to zone equipment.

Supply Side Outlet Node Names

Type: node
Name of a Node or NodeList containing the outlet node(s) supplying air to the demand side.

Design Return Air Flow Fraction of Supply Air Flow

The design return air flow rate as a fraction of supply air flow rate with no exhaust. This can be used to model a pressurized system or set to zero to model a DOAS with no return flow. Use ZoneAirMassFlowConservation to balance zone infiltration and mixing flows.
Minimum: 0.0
Default: 1.0
