 I&amp;#39;m trying to calculate the pressure drop for a chilled water system which starts with 250mm diameter pipe and reduces in size before it reaches the emitters.

&lt;p&gt;This is not so much a glitch, but a result of the Netsys calculation method. If there are no additional outlets causing such a change in pipe diameter, for example, then&amp;nbsp;the software&amp;nbsp;often overwrites such pipe-size fixes by&amp;nbsp;&amp;#39;healing&amp;#39; such sections together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However there is a way around this. &lt;a href="/products/building/performance/w/building_performance__wiki/19877/duct-sizing-allowing-for-a-depression"&gt;This article&lt;/a&gt;, while relating to ductwork, is applicable to such pipework systems also. The idea would be to draw three pipes, rather than two, so that there is a pipe section&amp;nbsp;dividing the&amp;nbsp;two that are being &amp;#39;healed together&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should you have any difficulty then please let me know and I can take a look at your project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
