Modeling Pump Series in eQUEST

i am simulating a 52 floor mixed use project
the heating system is fed from boilers in the basements and on each 10
floor i have a mechanical room where a heat exchanger exist.The system can
be summarized as follow:
1-the boilers have their own pump which pump to a buffer tank
2- from the buffer tanki have a header connected to three loops
3-each loop is connected to a heat exchanger
4- heat heat exchanger is connected to a pump
5- each pump is connected to a collector
6- to each collector i have one loop ( with its pump) dedicated to
baseboard loop and the other for the water heaters.

to conclude how can I model pumps in series? and do i have to model heat
exchangers?

Hello everyone. I am trying to model a ozone unit that preheats air from
another unit, up to 150F using a steam coil, then tempering/mixing with
return air, then cools down to 55F, and lastly reheated by zone reheat
coils. The problem is that Equest sets up the mixing of outdoor air and
return air before the preheat coils, which would over estimate the amount
of heating that actually happens. Also I am unable to set my discharge off
the preheat steam coil above 70F. Does any one have any clever work
arounds for this problem?

Thanks in advance.
