Note:
Equipment that can be part of both an air distribution system and a water distribution system (such as ducted fan coils and air conditioners) can be connected to the water distribution system only or to the air distribution system only if the user is interested in only one of them, or optionally can also be connected to both.

The program will display warnings for the connections in the system that has not been completed, without hindering the analysis of the other system.

Radiant floor manifold

Enters radiant floor manifolds.

When entering a radiant floor manifold, the following parameters must be specified:

  • Reference
  • Design conditions
    • Power (Cooling (optional) / Heating)
    • Minimum inlet temperature (Heating)
    • Maximum inlet temperature (Cooling (optional))
    • Pressure loss (Cooling (optional) / Heating)
    • Volume of water supplied (Heating)
  • Thermal loads assigned
  • Defines the percentages assigned to the equipment on the values of the thermal loads of the project. The program automatically assigns loads according to the arrangement of the terminal elements in the model.
Note:
Information related to radiant floor manifolds can be imported from the BIM model entered in programs such as CYPEHVAC Radiant Floor in order to detail them in CYPEHVAC and design the system upstream of the manifolds.

These manifolds will reach CYPEHVAC as requirements, which can be viewed if the corresponding layer in "Imported requirements" in the left-hand side panel "Own elements" is activated.

When using the "Radiant floor manifold" option, the program asks the user if they want to automatically generate manifolds at the position of the requirements. If accepted, it will automatically arrange the manifolds in the model and fill in their data by taking them from the imported requirements.

If not, users can enter the manifolds freely by snapping the requirements individually. When entering them, the program will ask users once again whether they wish to fill in their values by taking them from the requirement. If the user decides to enter the values manually and they do not cover the values required by the requirement, a non-compliance error will remain visible.
