Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Condenser Loop and Cooling Tower



So I have to use condenser loop to define the loop with cooling tower?
Why I can't use plant loop instead of condenser loop? Condenser loop has less input than plant loop. Thank you for your response.

Yes, use the condenser loop object. In addition to the tower, you should also be connecting some equipment in the plant loop to this condenser loop.  The software treats these loops separately through calling subroutines in the program.

What the purpose to separate the condenser loop from all other plant loop in energyplus?
In input and output reference, both plant loop and condenser loop have similar structure diagram (fig 62 and fig. 63)
