The document discusses parameters for cooling coil models in ApacheHVAC including:
- Coil model type can be simple or advanced
- System type and name select the system serving the coil
- For simple coil models, design parameters include coil contact factor which describes how air flows over the coil and impacts sensible to latent heat removal
- Typical contact factor values range from 0.7 to 0.95, with higher values associated with more coil rows or larger face area and lower air velocity

4.6.7 Design Sizing Parameters for Simple Coil Model
The following design parameters are common to a simple cooling coil served by systems other than the DX cooling and water-to-air heat pump (chilled water loop, UCS, or WSE). For a simple cooling coil served by a DX cooling or a water-to-air heat pump, there are some special parameters required by the DX cooling or water-to-air heat pump system type. Please see section 2.15.13 for details of these special parameters for a DX cooling served cooling coil. Please see section 2.9.11 for details of these special parameters for a water-to-air heat pump served cooling coil.
4.6.7.1 Coil Contact Factor (if coil served by Chilled Water Loop, Waterside economizer, or DX)
Default Value 0.91 CWL, 0.85 DX
Typical Values 0.70 to 0.95 Error Limits 0.01 to 1.0 The contact factor is used to describe the way air flows over the coil, and is used to calculate the balance of sensible to latent heat removal of the air passing over the coil. The contact factor specifies what proportion of the total airflow is contacted by the coil and so follows an ideal psychrometric process of cooling along a constant moisture content line until the saturation curve is met, and then following the saturation line. The balance of the airflow is assumed to be unaffected by the cooling coil but is then mixed with the cooled air upon leaving the coil. Typical values of contact factor are in the range 0.7 - 0.95. For a given flow rate, higher contact factors will tend to be associated with coils that either have more rows of fins or a larger face area, and thus lower face velocity. A higher contact factor has the advantage of achieving the desired leaving air temperature (LAT) with relatively warmer water from the chiller. As the contact factor is reduced, the required coil temperature, and thus also water temperature, is lower, which has implications for chiller operating efficiency and chilled-water reset controls. On the other hand, a low contact factor also has the same effect as intentionally bypassing some of the air around the coil so that the cooling coil can be operated at a very low temperature for maximum dehumidification, and then mixing the bypass fraction with the very dry air off the coil to get a final LAT. While the bypass air is obviously also more humid, the net result will be a lower leaving wet-bulb temperature (WBT) for the same dry-bulb LAT—i.e., greater wet-bulb depression. This can be readily seen in ApacheHVAC system simulation results for higher and lower cooling coil contact factors in a humid climate.
