Revision history [back]
You placed the relief fan onto the main branch, when you should instead add it to the AirLoopHVAC:OutdoorAirSystem:EquipmentList
(named West Data Center OA Equipment
)
I located one example: Take a look at file 5ZoneAirCooledConvCoef.idf
, circa line 2690: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/blob/f1a13ce86414694ee4f76da536cc08ff19f27fd8/testfiles/5ZoneAirCooledConvCoef.idf#L2686-L2691
AirLoopHVAC:OutdoorAirSystem:EquipmentList,
OA Sys 1 Equipment, !- Name
OutdoorAir:Mixer, !- Component 1 Object Type
OA Mixing Box 1, !- Component 1 Name
Fan:VariableVolume, !- Component 2 Object Type
Relief Fan 1; !- Component 2 Name
If instead you wanted the fan placed before the AirLoopHVACOutdoorAirSystem (to control the total flow of return from zones), then your node connections just don't match.
