blockFailsafeCondition

Failsafe condition used in staging up and down

Information

Failsafe condition used in staging up and down, implemented according to the specification provided in section 5.20.4.15 of Guideline 36-2021. The subsequence applies to primary-only plants with and without a WSE. The sequence contains a boolean flag to differentiate between parallel and series chiller plants.

Parameters
