A tree structure opens to the right for the individual supply chains. In other
words, one or more generators supply multiple primary controllers and each
primary controller for its part supplies one or more consumers or other primary
controllers.
From the air supply chain point-of-view, air treatment is a part of production
(handling). From the hot water and cold water point-of-view, air treatment (or
air heater/cooler) belongs to consumption.
The air supply chain comprises the central air treatment plant, optionally
supplemented by pressurization control and air posttreatment.
Supply flow
In each supply chain, the medium flows from the producer, through the
distribution system to the consumer. This flow within the supply chain is
referred to as the supply flow.
Supply chain structure
A supply chain consists of at least one producer and one consumer. It can also
have multiple chain links, that is, producers, distributors, and consumers, and
be structured as follows:
1. One producer with one distributor and one consumer.
2. One producer with two distributors in series and one consumer.
3. One producer with two distributors in parallel and two consumers in
parallel.
4. Multiple producers, distributors, and consumers in parallel.
