Using more than one splitter-mixer pair in one Plant Loop

Hello World Again!

I am newby in EnergyPlus and also in UnmetHours. I have 2 questions about my case,

C:\fakepath\Structure_Questions.jpg

1- Now I have a problem about how to use more than one splitter-mixer pair in one plant loop. As you can see in the line diagram that I have uploaded, I have an Acummulator Tank which is used for Thermal Energy Storage, and I have 2 scenario to operate the system,

For Winter Season, Acummulator Tank serves to meet the Heating Demand. For Summer Season, Acummulator Tank serves to meet the Cooling Demand through Absorption Chiller.

It is written in Plant Application Guide on page-9, article-7, "The PlantLoop accepts only one splitter-mixer pair per half loop." link text

How can I get over this issue?

2- Heating seasons' pipe is connected directly to the Heating Collector which is also supplied by Boiler in real case. (But I am not going to add the boiler loop in my model.) Actually I would rather add it as "Heating Load" instead of "Heating Coil". Does Energy Plus run my simulation if I add it as "Heating Load"??

Thanks in advance,

ACME
