    Hi, I'm having an issue when setting up a Netsys calculation and Importing a DXF. I get a pop-up reading 'Unable to access file' followed by 'Vectors not read in'. This results in the DXF not being imported. I also set up a CIBSE gain calc and managed…
  • K VALUE FOR DEFAULT BENDS AND TEES

    Hi Understood the below links gives K-value for some of the fitting however, it doesn't show the assumed value for different default bends and tees . Please could you be able to post the k vale for the default connection fittings. i want to verify the…
  • MODELLING OF DUCT PASSING THROUGH RISER AT 45 DEGREE.

    HI I HAVE A DUCT PASSING VIA RISER FROM L1 TO L6 AT AN ANGLE OF 45 DEGREE OR SAY NOT IN A 90 DEGREE VERTICAL WAY. PLEASE COULD YOU BE SO KIND TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THIS CAN BE MODELED. MANY THANKS
  • Netsys Duct at different height on same floor connection.

    Hi This is my first project in Netsys Ductwork Please could you be able to answer below questions 1) If you have two ducts at same height level and inter-crosses how do you design bends to avoid collision? 2) How do you model branching duct at…
  • Copying CWS Outlets to HWS

    Is it possible to copy outlets between CWS and HWS in Netsys? This would save a lot of time. Thanks
  • Netsys Chilled Water Pipe Sizing error/glitch

    Hi All, I'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. The issue i'm having is that even though I've fixed the pipework size for flow and…
  • Netsys - Splitting sections

    Good morning. This may be a function i am missing but is there a way to split pipe sections? I am creating a header pipe in Netsys Gas and the last part of the header always takes on the properties of the last connection. For example in the schematic…
  • Netsys is ignoring fixed duct sizes

    I am doing a ductwork pressure drop through Netsys. I have manually fixed the ALL duct sizes but the software appears to be selecting new ones in a number of instances. How can I stop this from happening? Many Thanks Craig
  • Incorrect Pipe Notes on Netsys

    Hi, I've modeled a BCWS in netsys, the system connects fine, however the output table for the system is fine, however pipe notes display different sizes. And sizes that don't exist on the sizing criteria selected (copper old X) Any ideas? Thanks…
  • Variable Flow systems in Netsys

    It's been some years since I used Hevacomp and am now considering purchasing for my mechanical team. Can someone explain to me if it is now possible to consider diversity and variable flow in the piped and ducted systems? If for example, we consider…
  • RE: Same Loading Units Different Flowrates

    For other users who may experience the above - this issue was due to different pipe sizing standards at each outlet. Please find further details here.
  • RE: Pipework Velocities Input

    Hi Jamie, The CIBSE table is using typical bands therefore it would make sense to enter the highest CIBSE value for each band in the system marker. This limits the velocity for any sizes within that band. The settings shown below would meet that criteria…
  • Pipework Velocities Input

    I am Inputting the CIBSE Guide C pipework velocity limits into NETSYS, i am unsure how to input the velocities in the system marker. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
  • Same Loading Units Different Flowrates

    Hi I have created a HWS system consisting largely of en-suits of bedrooms. Each en-suite has a two number of basins and 1 shower nozzle. They are calculated using the same method (BS EN 6700), and have the same loading units. They branch coming in…
  • RE: Floor Change/Sizing System

    Hi Liam, It sounds like your Floor Change Connector may not be correctly joining up the two floors in that case. I would recommend deleting the Floor Change Connector and associated risers using the Group Delete function, and then following the method…
  • RE: Heat loss calculation report showing a blank page. Running Windows 10

    Hi Luis, This usually means that Crystal Reports (i.e. the program that runs in the backround to take care of Hevacomp reports) is not working properly and needs to be reinstalled. Please find details on how to do so here.
