I am modeling a water plant loop with a water-cooled chiller. To provide the required water to the condeser side of the chiller, I have created another plant loop where a place a cooling tower as can be seen below.
My first question is? Is this set up right for my case? Do I need to place a specific pump for this plant? Did I link the chiller plant right with my cooling tower plant?
Then, I have a concern regard to the results. After had simulated this model, I am getting as a result a HEAT REJECTION being added in the energy consumption of my model. Before get the results, I was thinking that my consumption with pumps would increase, and in fact it happened, and also my consumption with fans would increase, since the cooling tower system uses a fan to proceed with the heat rejection, but it did not. So, I am assuming that Heat Rejection is, in fact, the consuption of the cooling tower fan, am I right?
For the same exemple, in case I want only to analyse a VERTICAL BORE FIELD (Ground Heat Exchanger), to cool down the water, Is it right if I set a plant like in the picture below?
