For chilled water loop, I want to model multiple secondary pumps of different sizes as illustrated below, but I don't know how to model them.
In real projects, we often use multiple secondary pumps of different sizes in order to flexibly adapt to different cooling loads. When cooling load is very small, only small secondary chilled water pumps operate. But how can I model them in EnergyPlus?
HeaderedPumps:VariableSpeed
can specify only Total Design Flow Rate
and Number of Pumps
, so I can't specify water flow rate of each pump.
My second sketch is also unlikely. I think we can't use Connector:Splitter
and Connector:Mixer
like this.
Can anyone advise me on how to model such pumps?
