Vaibhav,
A bypass is an EnergyPlus idiosyncrasy that helps E+ balance mass flows in a loop. They are not always needed, but also, they don’t get used or affect results in a balanced loop. I think of them as a way to avoid certain problems in the simulation while I am solving other problems. I review the flows in the bypass after a simulation, and if there is flow when I don’t expect it, I investigate to determine its cause.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] What ByPass component means?
Hello Group!
As I am not a mechanical engineer that's why I am curious to know - what does ByPass component means, which I see in both demand and supply side, and what is its function in real world systems, if any? I am attaching a picture (in line with text) to explain what exactly I mean. I somehow couldn't understand it very intuitively from documentation. Thank you!
