Guy, To add to the email that Marcus sent, Type92 actually modulates its energy use to meet whatever setpoint temperature you want it to as long as the control signal is set to 1. If the control signal is set to 0, it doesn't provide any cooling. In a sense, when active, it has "perfect" control. Marcus is quite correct that it doesn't model any psychrometrics on the air side; you could attach it to a Type33 in order to figure out the outlet air condition but given its controls, it isn't ideal. The second thing you should look at is exactly how you want your PID controller to work. A PID controller typically adjusts a damper position, a fan speed or a pump speed to keep some outlet (temperature, flow rate, etc.) at a set point. There are very few cooling devices where a PID controller would watch a zone temperature and be connected directly to a cooling capacity adjustment. I would suggest that you look through the TESS HVAC library as it contains a number of cooling devices. Once you choose the device, its controls should be fairly easy to determine.
