to do a cooling supplement with a cooling tower, but as of now you can’t add supplemental
heating to the loop. Hope this will save you some time in research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I have a interesting set of systems attached to the same
loop.  there is a hot water loop with boilers providing some heating to a
few Cab heaters and fin tube.  this loop also provides the heating for a
Heat pump loop in the winter, which also has a cooling tower equiped.  i
cannot find a way to make these loops interact with each other due to one being
HW and the other WLHP.  Any bright ideas?<br>
<br>
thanks for the help.<br clear=all>
