We have an AHU that was sized to cool a UPS system. The UPS is only half loaded and is not producting enough heat so the AHU is essentially oversized. The AHU has the room cooled but since it hardly has to run, we aren't dehumidifying. Tried closing the outdoor air damper to zero and still only getting beading on the coil and no condensate at all. System has no VFD or reheat so either the humidity is high, or we subcool the room to dehumidify. Suggestion has been made to raise the discharge air temperature above 55. Does this make sense? What should we set it at? Setpoint for the room right now is 78. Coil is chilled water. Fan shuts off at 68 and turns back on at 70 but as said, the AHU just doesn't have enough heat load to run enough to dehumidify.
