modelWetCoilUARated

Model that calculates the UA-value from cooling coil data at rated conditions.

Information

This model calculates the overall heat transfer coefficient, i.e., UA-value, from cooling coil data at rated conditions.

The main limitation of the current implementation is that the rated conditions should correspond to a fully-dry or a fully-wet coil regime. The modeling uncertainty yielded by partially-wet rated conditions has not been assessed yet.
