606 COOLING COIL
	
The Type 52 cooling coil model in the TRNSYS 14 Library is only valid for 
cooling coils having more than about four rows.  This is because the model 
approximates the multipass cross flow geometry characteristic of standard 
cooling coils with a counterflow geometry.  The model can then apply a 
combined wet and dry analysis using modified definitions for the number of 
transfer units and the capacitance rate ratio.  However, many inlet cooling 
system designs call for cooling coils with four rows or less.
	
By defining an effectiveness for each tube pass, it is possible to write an 
exact expression for the total effectiveness of a multipass overall 
counterflow geometry with the fluids mixed between passes.  Assuming that the 
water inside the cooling coil tubes is the maximum fluid, the effectiveness 
for a single tube pass with a dry outer surface is given by:

		epspass = 1/Cstar*[1 - e-(gamma*Cstar)]              (3.6.2)

where "Cstar" is the ratio of the minimum to the maximum capacitance rate, 
"gamma" is given by:

		gamma = 1 - e-Ntup                                   (3.6.3)

and "Ntup" is the number of transfer units per pass, given by the overall 
number of transfer units divided by the number of tube passes.  The total 
cooling coil effectiveness (still assuming that the exterior surfaces of the 
tubes are dry) is given by

		eps = (deltan - 1)/(deltan - Cstar)                  (3.6.4)

where
		
		delta = (1 - epspass*Cstar)/(1 - epspass)            (3.6.5)

(Kays and London 1964). 

The total effectiveness of wet tubes can be calculated in a similar manner.  
The capacitance rate ratio and the number of transfer units per pass are 
replaced with modified quantities based on the change in enthalpy of 
saturated air with respect to the change in temperature over the temperature 
range of interest.  The remainder of the modified cooling coil model used in 
this project is identical to that in the TRNSYS 14 Library.
