Details on Panel Heating/Cooling Data in the Settings

Information on the Panel heating/cooling data tab in the Settings dialog in the dynamic cooling load calculation.

In this dialog you configure global settings for your panel cooling and heating. Defaults set here can be adjusted at room level.

Properties of panel cooling and heating

Dynamic capacity

Activated: Calculates the required output of the panel heating/cooling depending on the room air temperature.

Characteristic curve

Characteristic value which, combined with the temperature difference between room and system temperature, describes the characteristic curve of the panel heating/cooling. This value can be taken from the technical data of the planned panel heating/cooling.

Temperature

Average temperature of the supply and return water temperature of the panel heating/cooling

Absolute allowed capacity

Activated: Limits the output of the panel heating/cooling to a value to be entered per room.

Specific allowed capacity

Activated: Limits the output of the panel heating/cooling to a fixed value per square meter.

Regulated

Activated: The surface cooling regulates its output according to demand.

Deactivated: The available capacity is always fully applied.

Note:

Since the panel heating/cooling is located in or on the envelope surfaces, it acts like a radiative load directly on the walls and has no direct convective exchange with the room air. Under certain circumstances, this can result in an increased cooling load due to the time-delayed exchange of heat between the walls and the room air (compared to a purely convective cooling load).
