It won’t work to connect multiple loops
using some tricky configuration. In general, nodes and connectors need to
be unique across different plant loops; you are not allowed to use
splitter/mixers to cross-wire loops. Certain types of component models do
“connect” separate loops but it is usually pretty clear from the
node input fields that they are intended for that purpose.
You can use a single condenser loop to serve
multiple chillers and multiple towers. The splitter/mixer for the towers
will mix cooled condenser water before returning to the chillers.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Same
connectors on multiple loops
Is is possible to put the same connectors (connector
list) on multiple loops?
I am modeling a building with multiple chillers and cooling towers. After the
condenser water leaves the chiller, it is pumped directly into one of the
cooling towers. After the cooling tower, the water is then collected in a big
tank (along with the water from all the other cooling towers). The water is
then pumped from the tank to one of the chillers.
I was thinking of modeling this with multiple condenser water loops, with each
loop having the same CONDENSER DEMAND SIDE BRANCH LIST NAME. That way each
condenser loop can be mixed together after leaving the cooling tower.
Will this be a problem? Am I aloud to have the same mixer associated each loop?
Please let me know what you all think, and if there is a better way to do this.
Thanks,
-Eddie
