Justin,
Do you have any ideas on how to get around having the cooling tower
setpoint above the boiler setpoint? This makes no sense to me with a
cooling tower cooled condenser and a boiler heated reheat loop. They
aren't even connected!
I agree that the limitation is proper for a heat pump, since you don't
want the boiler just rejecting heat to the cooling tower, but if the two
loops are not connected (like a hydronic heating system with a water
cooled condenser DX system) the limitation doesn't make sense.
