Pressure loss accumulated by networks
In the previous version (2017.a) the new feature to design air-duct networks using air flow drag from grilles to the initial span of the network was implemented.
Now, in the 2017.b version, the program detects the critical path to the worst-case grille and provides the value of the total pressure loss. The report displays the networks in order, with the spans that correspond to the critical path first. Furthermore, any connection elements used are displayed in the report (elbows, transformations and branches) with their associated pressure loss and in order of appearance.
Flow range warnings
The program places a yellow warning triangle when a grille or diffuser has a flow that lies outside its operating range. This way, users can decide whether to choose another with a different size, add a terminal and redistribute the flows or hide the warning when they consider that the flow lying outside the range is negligible (e.g. 1 l/s).
