Yes, that is correct.
Collapse all the condenser loops into one
loop. The individual towers are then on separate branches inside the supply
side splitter/mixer and get mixed before going to the one supply side outlet.

Same connectors on multiple loops
So It would not work if I gave all of my
supply-side condenser loops the same outlet
node because each loop needs its own supply-side outlet node.
Is that correct?

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.

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
