How is the mass flow distributed in LowTemperatureRadiant:VariableFlow?

Hi there,

I am modelling a low temperature radiant system in EnergyPlus for cooling purposes. Since there are several circuits per zone I assigned the ceiling as radiant surface and specified the circuit lenght in order to let e+ calculate the number of circuits.

Now I am wondering if the specified max. cold water flow will be distributed among those circuits or will that number be valid for every single circuit? I have found nothing in the engineering reference...

Thanks in advance!
