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
Determines the global supply temperature. The global supply temperature is used for all new pipe runs that are created. You can adjust the differential temperature for each pipe run individually. If you change the global supply temperature, the pipe run supply temperatures will also change, unless they have been individually adjusted. If the supply or return water temperature is changed, the program indicates that the mass flow rates of the radiators and cooling convectors also change and recommends a new design.
Return Water Temperature
Determines the targeted return temperature. Radiators and cooling convectors are selected in the dimensioning so that the actual return temperature is as close as possible to the target return temperature, provided that the required output is achieved and the mass flow limits are complied with. If you have selected the Differential temperature fixed, heating cap. is determined or Differential temperature fixed, cooling cap. is determined as the Design target, the calculated return water temperature of the radiator or cooling convector will be identical to the target return water temperature of the pipe run. If the return water temperature is changed, the minimum differential temperature is suggested appropriately. If the supply or return water temperature is changed, the program indicates that the mass flow rates of the radiators and cooling convectors also change and recommends a new design.
Minimum Differential Temperature
Determines the minimum differential temperature in Kelvin, which should never be fallen below. The minimum differential temperature only has an effect if the radiator or cooling convector output is not sufficient and the return water temperature has to be raised above the preset return water temperature. If the target return water temperature is changed, the program suggests the minimum differential temperature accordingly.
Maximum Differential Temperature
Determines the maximum differential temperature in percent. The maximum differential temperature is given in percent, as it depends on the individual room temperature. The maximum differential temperature is entered and calculated as a proportion of the difference between supply temperature and room temperature. This prevents the return temperature from falling below room temperature in the radiator design and rising above room temperature in the cooling convector design.
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 | Specifies the room name and the room number. The room number is comprised of the storey and room number according to the selected building structure. If you activated building sections and apartments, the column also shows the building section and apartment number. You can change the room name here. To change the room number, you have to switch to the general room data. |
| 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. |
| OM | 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. |
| ! | Indicates an error. |
