Correct crash with DOAS VS DX coils and fix system name in Coil Sizing tables #10334

rraustad · 2023-12-15T22:45:12Z

Pull request overview

Fixes Multiple DOAS systems can report incorrect system type and name in Coil Sizing tables #10332
A user file with multiple DOAS systems using variable speed DX coolig coils did not run in EnergyPlus and when corrected showed incorrect HVAC Type and HVAC Name in Coil Details tables.

Reporting corrections:

HVAC Type and HVAC Name are reported for DOAS system
DOAS coil air flow is reported
System Sizing Method Concurrence method added Combination for when air loops used different sizing methods
TU heating coil air flow rate

Underlying problem with the table reporting issues. This line reset CurSysNum to CurOASysNum which confused table reports. The component variables CurSysNum and CurOASysNum are set in SizingAirLoopDOAS as:

state.dataSize->CurSysNum = state.dataHVACGlobal->NumPrimaryAirSys + this->m_AirLoopDOASNum + 1; state.dataSize->CurOASysNum = this->m_OASystemNum;

Whether these initializations should be moved to SimAirLoopHVACDOAS to emulate SimAirLoops is another question. I'm not sure these variables are used in anything other than sizing.

Many of these issues. The DOAS indexes are currently appended to the number of air loops (i.e., CurSysNum = 6 for a DOAS with 5 AirLoopHVAC objects). When code uses CurSysNum to access air loop arrays there is an access violation when DOAS components are sized. These subtle changes were made to get this defect file to run.

Interesting. Should we actually use a separate counter for DOAS systems rather than keeping them magically in line with the other air loops? That's something for later, but just curious how you'd like to proceed in the future.

We have CurZoneEqNum, CurSysNum, and CurOASysNum. I think we do need a CurDOASNum. While making this change I was also wondering what the long term fix was. Still not sure if if (this->isCoilReportObject && this->curDOASNum == 0) is any better than what is here now.

DOAS index violation. The thing I don't like about the if (airloopNum < NumPrimaryAirSys) is that DOAS information is not reported. This is of course fixable.

Heating coils in OA systems were not reporting air flow in Coil Sizing tables. Or maybe it's just DOAS system, but there are times when air flow = -999 and this corrects that.

5Zone_Unitary_HXAssistedCoil table diffs. Both develop and this branch used TermUnitSizing(this->curTermUnitSizingNum).AirVolFlow = 0.129526 to size the zone heating coil, but develop reported the FinalZoneSizing heating volume flow = 0.15108.

These look good to me, I'll double check locally with other develop changes, but expect this to merge soon if clean.

Table diffs are quite expected and reasonable. Otherwise this is happy and ready to merge. Thanks @rraustad
