Description

Performance data heating/Performance data cooling

With activated checkbox the performance data can be set. The set values are taken from the component and used in the pipe network calculation.

Capacity

Capacity of the selected type. When entering the capacity, the mass flow rate is determined and displayed on the basis of the supply and return temperatures.

Mass flow rate

Mass flow rate of the selected type. When entering the mass flow rate, the capacity is determined and displayed on the basis of the flow and return flow temperature.

Supply water temperature

Indicates the supply temperature.

Return water temperature

Indicates the return water temperature.

Location of connection

Indicates the connection position. Select the desired connection position using the pictograms. For radiators, the connection position is shown as front view, for underfloor convectors and radiant ceiling panels as top view.

OK

Stores the entered data and the radiator, underfloor convector or radiant ceiling panel can be inserted in the model. The current construction level is used.
