Details on Ambient Temperatures

Information on the Ambient temperatures dialog.

You are here:

Project tab ➤ Discipline Potable water ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Hygiene functions ➤ Ambient temperatures ...

Environment Linear AutoCAD

In this Dialog, you can edit ambient temperatures to simulate load cases during network temperature and circulation simulation.

Note:

If you would like to assign different ambient temperatures to cold and hot water pipes, do this deliberately, e.g. with the structural separation of cold water and hot water pipes in the shaft.

Ambient temperature in °C (Cold water)

Enter the ambient temperature for cold water pipes or click to select a value from the Ambient temperatures dialog.

Ambient temperature in °C (Hot water)

Enter the ambient temperature for hot water- and circulation pipes or click to select a value from the Ambient temperatures dialog.

Assign

After clicking this button, select the section parts in the drawing that should have the selected temperatures.

Delete

After clicking this button, select the section parts in the drawing for which the locally assigned temperatures should be removed again.

Global increase/decrease of ambient temperatures

Here you can increase or decrease all assigned ambient temperatures globally by a certain value. For example, if you enter the value 1, all ambient temperatures will increase by 1 Kelvin. This global change in temperature is immediately applied to the visualization and simulation after clicking on . You do not have to assign the temperature change to the pipes separately.
