Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] HVAC water loop

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

1.  Yes, components may be in series on a branch.

2.  For complex plant loops, each subloop (supply side or demand side) has an 
inlet branch (with one or more components in series), then a splitter with one 
or more branches in parallel (each branch my have one or more componentes in 
series), then a mixed and an exit branch.  Branches are never in series with 
each other.  Branches are simulated in the order listed in the branch list, so 
the order must be inlet branch, then prallel branches, then exit branch.  The 
order of the prallel branches should not make any difference.
