The simplest way to avoid this ally have to scratch their heads to make problem is to reduce flow to each load sure each cooling load gets its fair share of when less cooling is required. This drops water under all conditions. If the loads are the flow rate within the cooling coil, but on different floors of the building, this can since the load is light and water is supplied be tricky because convection in the rising at a constant temperature, this should not headers can disrupt flow.
