Carrying Out Quick Dimensioning in a Two-Pipe System

Shows step-by-step how to carry out a quick dimensioning of all rooms on a storey in the two-pipe system and adjust the dimensioning if necessary. The preselection options and specifications are used for the design.

Before you begin

You want to carry out a quick dimensioning of all rooms on a storey in the two-pipe system and adapt the dimensioning if necessary.

In this example, the dimensioning is carried out at storey level. The procedure for dimensioning at project, building section and apartment or area level is identical.

Requirements:

  • You have already preselected a radiator or cooling convector model.

  • In the Radiator preselection or Cooling convector preselection dialog, you have selected a Two-pipe system as the system.

  • The rooms to be designed have a target output.
Note:

For a correct dimensioning of radiators or cooling convectors, an assumption of the heat or cooling load is unsuitable; a comprehensive calculation of the heat or cooling load is required.

Navigate to:

Procedure

  1. If necessary, in the Manufacturer and model series section, select the desired model series you want to dimension for the rooms of the selected floor.
  2. Adjust the Model options if necessary.
  3. Click on Redimension in the toolbar and select Redimension all rooms in the context menu that appears.
    Note:

    If you want to design industrial heating or cooling elements, such as ceiling panels or radiant ceiling profiles, an intermediate dialog with further dimensioning options is displayed before the dimensioning.

  4. If necessary, adjust the layout by unchecking the check boxes in column A for rooms that are not to be laid out.
  5. If necessary, adjust the layout by unchecking the check boxes in column A for windows that should not have radiators or cooling convectors.

Results

LINEAR Building Now all rooms to be dimensioned have been dimensioned with radiators or cooling convectors and you have adjusted the design if necessary.

What to do next

In the next step, you can rework in detail the radiators or cooling convectors that were not optimally designed.
