Constant Heating and Condenser Water Flow for CentralHeatPumpSystem

Hi,

I modeled heat recovery chillers with CentralHeatPumpSystem and ChillerHeaterPerformance:Electric:EIR objects for space heating. I exported the hourly heating and condenser water flow rates and found they are constant for the whole year even there is no cooling demand in the chilled water loop. I used EMs to shut down the condenser water flow when there is no chiller water. However, the hot waterflow rate is constant from heat recovery chillers. Is there any way I can shut down the hot water from heat recovery chiller when there are no cooling demand and heat recovery?

Thanks,

Eric Wang
