[TRNSYS-users] Fan Motor Efficiency - Type 111b & Type 112a

[Joseph Firrantello <jxf282@psu.edu>]

Hello,

I've been using the Type 111b and Type 112a fan models in building 
energy use simulations. After looking through the documentation and 
FORTRAN code for these Types, it appears to me that the "motor 
efficiency" parameter is not (and is not supposed to be) taken into 
account for the "power consumption" output? Another way of phrasing 
this: The "rated power" parameter is HP (i.e. including motor 
efficiency), not BHP? I think I'm understanding this, just wanted to 
confirm.

Thanks,

Joe Firrantello
