Head loss in the manifolds of the energy harvesting system

Now, in the 2013.l version, the head loss of the manifolds of the energy harvesting system is calculated using the flow coefficient Kv. This coefficient is a property of the manifold, and so is an implicit piece of data that is imported from the Price Generator when the manifold is selected (for jobs created for countries for which the Price Generator is available). For countries for which the Price Generator is not yet available (or if they do have the Price Generator but the manifold is defined as an element with a generic description or with an editable description linked to the Price Generator), the flow coefficient Kv is a value that can be edited. Users must recall that even though the manifold is imported from the Price Generator, the description of this group (as occurs with the other descriptions of the components and groups of the installation), can be changed into a generic description or to an editable description linked to the Price Generator. In either case, all the properties that are imported can then be edited, including the flow coefficient Kv.
