Details on Technical Data for Circulation Balancing Valves
Information about the technical data dialog for circulation balancing valve.
In this dialog, you specify the component data that will be used in the calculation. In addition, for manufacturer-neutral fittings, you can select the connection type for the component connections.
You are here:
Select here whether to use a static or a automatic regulating valve. Then select a valve from the global preselection. Now the data pertaining to the valve as well as the current characteristic curve diagram will be displayed according to the set dimension. You may additionally print the diagram via the 
button.
Name
In this field you can enter an individual name for the component. Clicking on 
restores the original name and overwrites the previous entry.
Select ...
Opens the dialog Select Valve Series for selection of manufacturer-specific and user-defined valves. The range of manufacturer valves depends on the installed manufacturer datasets.
Reset
After clicking this button, the most suitable valve from the valve preselection will be chosen for the network, and any valve series specified manually (using the Select... function) will be reset.
Info …
Opens the corresponding valve information dialog for manufacturer components. Here, the characteristic curve diagram will be displayed according to the dimension, which you may print by clicking . For custom valves, the Curve Data dialog opens with information on the custom data set.
Dimension, fixed
Dimension
The current nominal diameter of the valve. If you have selected a manufacturer valve or a user-defined valve, you can select a dimension here to which the component will then be locked. The set nominal diameter will be used for the calculation. If you de-select the option free next to the drop-down list, a nominal diameter based on the calculation results is assigned. The newly assigned nominal diameter is displayed the next time the dialog is opened.
locked
Enabled: The nominal diameter of the valve is not adjusted in the calculation.
Disabled: If necessary the nominal diameter of the valve is adjusted during the calculation.
Inlet, Outlet
Drop-down lists for selecting the connection types for the component's connections. This option is available only for manufacturer-neutral components. After selecting a connection, the selected connection type is also assigned to the other component connections. If necessary, you can also assign different connection types to the connections. The selected connections are included in the bill of materials. Based on the connection definition and the selected piping system, any required fittings will also be included in the bill of materials, provided that the data set for the selected piping system includes them.
