[Equest-users] Ground source heat pump/ cooling tower hybrid

Hi there,
We have a building that is conditioned with water source heat pumps. The 
loop is maintained by several ground source wells, and also a closed 
loop evaporative cooling tower and a hot water boiler. Does anyone know 
how to correctly model this loop? Equest will let you put a boiler and a 
cooling tower on a ground loop with the wells, but when you run the 
simulation it gives an error that says a boiler cannot be on the loop 
with the ground source heat exchanger.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
