[EnergyPlus_Support] District cooling errors

Hi All,

I am modelling district cooling and getting the following error. 


The model says that the inlet cold water temperature(Actuator temp) is higher than Sensed temperature. In the idf file i am not able to locate where to change these temperatures.. 

Thanks in advance. 

Error is ?
