No.

Marks the pipe run and serves as a sorting criterion. Assign a clear number to each pipe run.

Name

Defines a name for the pipe run, e.g. southwest or ground floor.

Manufacturer and Model series

Shows the current radiator or cooling convector model.

Supply water temperature

Return water temperature

Minimum differential temperature

Maximum differential temperature

Table Pipe run view

By clicking you have the possibility to copy the contents of the table with or without column heading and paste it into Excel.

If you have selected individual rows or cells, you can copy the selected data with the key combinations Ctrl+C (with column heading) or Ctrl+Shift+C (without column heading) and paste it into Excel, for example.

Column

Description

Location

Qty. Rad.

Shows the number of radiators or cooling convector.

WW

Defines the window width. If window dimensions are available from the detailed heat or cooling load calculation, the maximum length of the radiator or cooling convector is proposed accordingly. The maximum length is calculated from the window width minus the installation reduction dimension.

If no detailed heat or cooling load calculation is available and therefore no window areas have been entered, a window width can still be taken into account when dimensioning the radiators. Enter the width in the input field Window width. This value is 1000 mm by default.

RC

States the reduced capacity of a radiator or cooling cooling convector.

QRAD

States the heating output of a radiator or cooling convector acc. to standard.

Load

Shows the load of the radiator or cooling convector.

RH

Shows the height automatically determined during radiator or cooling convector dimensioning.

RL

Shows the length automatically determined during radiator or cooling convector dimensioning.

RD

Shows the depth automatically determined during radiator or cooling convector dimensioning.

Blower level

Shows the blower level. Depending on the model, different blower speeds are available for convectors with blowers. You can restrict the blower levels for the dimensioning in the model options. With a higher blower level you achieve a higher heating or cooling capacity. However, the mass flow rate and noise level also increase.

BA

Determines, for models that can be used for heating and cooling, whether the dimensioning should be exclusively for heating or cooling, or only primarily for heating or cooling. If you select the Heating prior or Cooling prior setting, the system can also be used for cooling or heating, but the system will be optimized for heating or cooling. If you select the Only heating or Only cooling setting, the capacity will not be used to cover the cooling load or heat load. The valve settings are then optimized for the respective case.

Type

Shows the type of radiator or cooling convector.

Diff. temp. fix

Shows whether the setting Differential temperature fixed, heat capacity is determined or Heat capacity fixed, differential temperature is determined is activated for the radiator. Shows whether the setting Differential temperature fixed, heat output/cooling is determined or output/cooling fixed, differential temperature is determined is enbabled for cooling convectors.

tr

Shows the calculated return water temperature.

The return temperature is variable at the radiator or cooling cooling convector and is always determined depending on the desired capacity of the consumer. This results in a mass flow rate which has to be adjusted via the control valve on the radiator or cooling convector.

On radiators, the calculated return temperature is usually lower than the desired return temperature (radiator has overcapacity). If the radiator capacity of the largest possible radiator according to the specifications for the construction height and window width is not sufficient for the desired heating load, the program tries to raise the return water temperature within practical limits.

For cooling convectors, the calculated return temperature is usually higher than the desired return temperature (convector has overcapacity). If the cooling convector capacity of the of the largest possible cooling convector according to the specifications for the construction height and window width is not sufficient for the desired cooling load, the program tries to lower the return water temperature within practical limits.

If you have selected the Differential temperature fixed, heating output is calculated option in the Radiator preselection or the Differential temperature fixed, cooling output is calculated in the Cooling convector preselection, the indicated return temperature is identical to that for the pipe run return temperature.

m

Shows the mass flow of a radiator or cooling cooling convector.

LP

Shows the calculated sound pressure level when using fan convectors.
