2: Why is there in most cases no bypass flow with a distributed pumping system?
Because primary pumps try to match primary flow and secondary flow
2: Why is there in most cases no bypass flow with a distributed pumping system?
The bypass valve is always closed

2: Why is there in most cases no bypass flow with a distributed pumping system?
The system is never over-pumped
You can find the answer here >
3: How does distributed pumping ensure minimum flow over each chiller?
By having a differential pressure sensor installed across each chiller
3: How does distributed pumping ensure minimum flow over each chiller?
By running with maximum flow at maximum load
