Our new and improved pipe and pump sizing calculator tool. This one hour session will provide an introduction into the following: Justifying the default values (maximum & minimum velocities, pressure loss etc) Preparing a schematic as a reference. Labelling sections and identifying circuits. Picking rooms or radiators for total mass flow rate (kg/s) Selecting flow temperatures and delta temperatures. Selecting pipe sizes for each section. Reviewing the automated velocity checks (m/s) Reviewing the automated maximum pressure drop allowance (Pa/m) Creating circuits Reviewing the index circuit Final results to size your circulation pump. Q & A session after the above is explained and demonstrated.
For new users and the curious. Hello, For new users and the curious. IMPORTANT: Firstly, once you are signed up, send us your requests on what you would like to see within the demonstration and learn on the course. We will then cater for your needs and answer them during the session. This is designed to be an introduction into how to start a room by room survey using the Heat Engineer app, then sending this survey to the online dashboard. We will then go through the different steps to complete this heat loss report. Optional pages will also be worked through and shown. Examples of how to select the flow temperature and the heat source (heat pumps and boilers) will be presented once the heat loss result is completed.
