Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Zero flow?

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

This is a bug.  Thanks for bringing it to our attention.  All components which
demand water from a plant or condenser loop are supposed to store their design
flow rates in a plant sizing array, but this component type fails to do so.  In
fact, there may be other components missing this as well.  CR has been posted,
hope to fix at least this one if not all of them for the 1.3.0 release.
