looking forward to other replies. I think the pipe object can act as a flow restrictor so technically you should be able to set up a section of pipe just before your coil in the water loop to your equipment with an actuator to constrict the pipe till there is no flow. You may have to write a short EMS program to get this to actuate as per the sensor or schedule that you want to employ.
