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.
