Hi,
Is there a way to find out pipework flow rates due to heat losses at strategic positions where the commissioning sets are installed?
Basically, I need to calculate heat losses from pipework to find out flow rates to size the commissioning sets.
Thanks..
Hi Giorkem,
There is no direct way of viewing these figures as this is processed iteratively by the software during the calculation - please find further details in this article.
The only method I can think of would be to size your project and take a record of results, and then copy the project to create a temporary version to work on, in which you could delete relevant pipes to divide up the system. This would allow you to analyse the sections you require individually by placing new individual system markers for each section. The difference between these results and the original results should provide an indication of the values you require.

If you draw the HWS return pipework and size the system, pipework heat losses and flow rates are reported
