Equipment controllers and outputs



Dear TRNSYS users, my apologies for delaying so long...
 
in my year-long simulation type 56 calculates sensible and latent loads based on the cooling and heating types that I set in PREBID:
 
Heating type:    room temperature control = 20°C
                        heating power = unlimited (radiative part = 0)
                        desired rel. humidity = 40%
 
Cooling type:    room temperature control = 26°C
                        cooling power = unlimited (radiative part = 0)
                        desired rel. humidity = 60%
 
Now I want to meet the loads with a type673 fun coil, but I don't understand:
 
1)    how I can control the equipment. For example: using 2 units type 40 (differential controller with hysteresis) I can obtain a control signal of 1 for cooling and heating when the zone temperature (output of type 56) rise above 26°C or drop below 20°C; but the zone temperature was just forced in PREBID to maintain in this range, so the signal for cooling and heating (input to type 673) is always 0 and the equipment don't works. Alternatively I can use a few of types 40 based on the loads control; but the outputs of type 56 often contains in the same timestep positive latent and negative sensible loads (or negative latent and positive sensible loads), so isn't possible in this timestep to generate a unique control signal for cooling or heating (i.e. if the zone at the same time needs of negative sensible and positive latent loads, how can I decides to cooling or heating?)
 
2)    if the outputs of the type673 fun coil (sensible and latent load met, load not met) are the end of my work or if is necessary to link them as inputs of type 56. In PREBID is in fact possible to define other gains inputs (a part from persons, computer and artificial lighting) by specifing the radiative and convective powers and the absolute humidity). In this case the outputs from type673 2 pipe are as inputs to the parameter of convective heat (sensible heat) and radiation heat (=0), but I don't know how to connect latent heat and abs humidity.
 
Thank you in advance, Maurizio
