Dialog Technical Data LINEAR Revit

Name

In this field you can enter an individual name for the component. Clicking on restores the original name and overwrites the previous entry.

Settings

If you have previously defined the valve . as a specific manufacturer valve using the Classify ... command, the corresponding data will be displayed here. Subsequently, the valve will be dimensioned automatically by the program for the time being. Further, there is the option to select the shut-off valve manually.

Attention: If you have selected the fixed option for the nominal diameter here, but then change the nominal width in the Properties dialog of the program window, you must also adjust the value manually in this dialog using the drop-down list. The changed nominal diameter is otherwise not adopted and not taken into account in the calculation.

Neutral Valve

You may set the kv-value or the Zeta value of the valve here. With respect to the Zeta value, there is the option to choose between automatic detection or manual setting. You can specify the Opening Pressure Loss for corresponding valve types. If necessary, activate the setting Kv Value or Zeta Manually to define the opening pressure loss.
