Inserting components of the condensing circuit

Under the "Installation" tab, in the "Condensing" section of the main toolbar, you will find the menu for defining and entering the components of the condensing circuit:

These features enable the analysis of condensation circuits for water-to-water heat pumps. Based on their power and efficiency data, the program calculates the thermal power at the heat pump’s external heat exchanger and allows the hydraulic circuit to be defined right through to the equipment responsible for dissipating that power.

Generator

This allows you to add a heat source for the condensing circuit. This equipment acts as a heat source, such as a field of geothermal collectors.

When adding a power generation unit, you must specify the following parameters:

• Reference
• Design specifications
  • Supply temperature (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))
    In a geothermal system, this refers to the temperature at which the fluid is pumped to the buried boreholes.
  • Temperature drop (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))
    In a geothermal system, this refers to the difference between the temperature at which the fluid is pumped to the buried boreholes and the temperature at which it returns to the heat pump.
  • Pressure loss (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))
  • Capacity

Cooling tower

Allows cooling towers to be installed.

When specifying a cooling tower, the following parameters must be provided:

• Reference
• Design specifications
  • Supply temperature
  • Temperature drop
  • Pressure loss
  • Capacity
• Dimensions
  • Height
  • Width
  • Length
