IB CoilHeatingDesuperheater

A simplified approach is used to determine the performance of this air heating coil. The model assumes that the heating energy provided by this coil is reclaimed from the superheated refrigerant gas leaving a compressor (i.e., a desuperheating refrigerant-to-air heating coil) and does not impact the performance of the compressor. This coil can be used in air loop simulations but can't be used by certain compound objects (e.g., {AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatPump:AirToAir}, {AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatPump:WaterToAir}, or {Dehumidifier:Desiccant:NoFans}) or any air distribution equipment (e.g., {AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:Reheat}, {AirTerminal:SingleDuct:VAV:Reheat}, or {AirTerminal:SingleDuct:SeriesPIU:Reheat}). The desuperheater heating coil input requires a coil name, an availability schedule, and a heat reclaim recovery efficiency. The reclaim recovery efficiency determines the amount of heat available for use by this heating coil. Approximately 25-30% of the energy rejected by typ....
