Heat exchanger

Used to insert heat exchangers into the water supply system.

When entering or editing a heat exchanger, the following parameters can be configured. Some parameters only appear if the "Simplified entry" option under "Design options" in "General options" is deactivated:

• Reference
  Element reference. This value can be locked or unlocked. The program will create or modify the reference when updating results if unlocked.
• Heat exchanger reference
  The type of heat exchanger can be selected by reference. These types can be created and edited from "Design and check options to be carried out" in "General options", in the "Project" group.
• General data
  The element's general data can be defined. Some of these values can be locked or unlocked. If a value is locked when updating the results, it is not modified and remains unchanged.
  • Volume (Lock/Unlock)
  • Temperature (Lock/Unlock)
  • Consumption
    Defines the DHW consumption associated with the production equipment. With the button on the right-hand side, this data can be loaded from the values indicated for "Daily demand, per unit" (which can be configured in "Demand criteria", under "Analysis options" and, in turn, under "General options") and the number of "Units" provided by the equipment.
    • Reference
    • Description
    • Daily volume
    • Volume
    • Occupancy / Consumption / Temperature / Distribution
      They are defined for each month.
  • Flow (Lock / Unlock)
  • Flow of the auxiliary system
  • Pressure (Lock / Unlock)
• 3D layout
  Defines the position and angle of the element. This section only appears when editing a previously entered element.
  • Position (x, y, z)
  • Angle
• Bill of quantities
  Controls the generation of the element's bill of quantities by means of filters.
