Dear All,
To change the tower water mass flow, I used a "Pump:VariableSpeed" rather than a "Pump:ConstantSpeed" as the condenser loop supply pump. But the tower water mass flow still
be a constant.
Additionally, can you tell me how to obtain the cooling tower air mass flow?
Thank you very much.

Dear All,
I want to simulate faults of the cooling tower by using the model "CoolingTower:SingleSpeed". This model has a output variable which is "Tower Water Mass Flow Rate [kg/s]." I checked values of this variable and found the values are usually the same as
the design water flow rate and sometimes it is 0. I am confused since this is a variable, but the simulation results show that it is a constant. I am looking forward to your answer. Thank you very much.
