Yoga Studio
(OP)
I am renovating a room into a yoga studio that requires a room temp of 100 degrees F. Its called a hotbox.
The room has a existing rooftop unit, however the burner is larger than required.
If I return air through the rooftop unit, [the burner has a delta T of 65 deg. F], the discharge temp will be 165 deg F (based on a return air temp of 100 deg F). The unit has a thermal cutout set at 150 degrees F, so I believe the unit will shutdown.
I am trying to make this unit work somehow. A couple of things:
- if the room setpoint is 100 deg F, the return air temp will be less than 100 deg F (based on heat given up through the room), however, the room is well insulated (we are using freezer panels) so I don't think that much heat will be given up.
- I am using about 30% outdoor air which helps in the wintertime to lower the mixed air temp to the heat exchanger
I am looking at ways of making things work, but I am pretty sure there are no options (especially in the summertime).
Any ideas?

Evaporator coil for humidity control. One condenser coil in series with the evaporator for reheat. Second condenser outside to reject anything left over.

Check out www.takagi.com japanese manufacturer.
They offer 85 % efficiency water heaters and they are proven to be work horses. I have such a water heater that I use for domestic water and it works great, highly reliable.
I think you can find them in a condensing type model as well (mainly european models).
