ZoneRefrigerationDoorMixing is ideally suited for two zones, at least one of which is refrigerated, that exchange an equal amount of dry air. As with \hyperref[zonemixing]{ZoneMixing}, this is a simplified interzone airflow in EnergyPlus. The ZoneRefrigerationDoorMixing approach shares some features of both \hyperref[zonemixing]{ZoneMixing} and \hyperref[zonecrossmixing]{ZoneCrossMixing}. Like \hyperref[zonecrossmixing]{ZoneCrossMixing}, ZoneRefrigerationDoorMixing has an energy effect on both the source and the receiving zone, thus maintaining both the air mass and energy balances in the two zones. Unlike the other two mixing objects, ZoneRefrigerationDoorMixing always calculates the air exchange rate based on the zone temperature and relative humidity. That is, the user does not specify the air flow rate. The user can moderate the flow through a door-opening schedule.

ZoneRefrigerationDoorMixing can only be entered once for any unique pair of zones. It doesn't matter which zone is listed first and the zones will automatically switch back and forth between source and receiving zones depending upon which zone is colder. If space heat balance is active and a space name is specified for Space or Zone Name 1 or 2, then the space conditions will be used and the exchange will be with that space only. If space heat balance is active and a zone name is specified, then the aveerage zone conditions will be used, and the exchange will be proportioned to all spaces in the zone by space volume.

This dimensionless number is the discharge coefficient of the thermal chimney. The ventilation rate enhanced by the thermal chimney is also dependent on the discharge coefficient.

This field is the name of the zone (ref: Zone) to which the thermal chimney is attached. It is used in conjunction with the next three fields. Note that up to 20 sets of zone name, distance from the top of the thermal chimney to each inlet, relative ratios of air flow rates passing through each zone and cross sectional areas of each air channel inlet may be entered for a single thermal chimney if multiple zones share the common thermal chimney.
