Details on the Section “Hydraulic Balancing” in the Basic Conditions
Information about the Hydraulic Balancing section in the Basic Conditions dialog for heating and cooling pipe network calculation.

Applies to: Heating, Cooling.
It may be helpful to disable hydraulic balancing to see how balanced a network is before being hydraulically balanced without presetting of the throttle valves or to simply save time during the first network detections. In such cases, deactivate the Hydraulic Balancing check box and activate the Leave Valves Open radio button.
Hydraulic Balancing
Enabled: Hydraulic balancing is performed after the calculation. After hydraulic balancing, provided that a suitable valve has been selected, a setting is displayed in the respective component data dialog for all throttle and control valves contained in the pipe network (e.g., radiator valves, balancing valves).
Disabled: If you switch off the hydraulic balancing, you can view the pipe network with open valves or with set minimum pressure losses.
Leave Valves Open
Enabled: All regulating and throttling valves remain open during calculation. In the calculation dialog you can see which pressure difference each individual flow path and each section has and which flow path is the most unfavourable.
Preset Minimum Pressure Losses
Enabled: The calculation takes into account the minimum pressure losses of the valves without making any further adjustments for throttle and control valves.
