Positioning of pumps - plant loop/condenser loop

Hello!

Basically in energyplus we have loop pumps and branch pumps. Plenty of times in documentatios you can find applications with loop pumps on the inlet side. Is it also possible with energyplus to use multiple pumps (one pump for each chiller and one pump for each fluid cooler) on the inlet side and outlet side? Which pump obejcts are reqired (possible with Pump:ConstantSpeed and Pump:VariableSpeed objects)? Attached you can find the required chiller plant. 150506_Chiller-Plant.png

Thanks for your answers.

Best regards, Alex
