Details on Component Data for Consumer
Information on the component data dialog for consumer.
Consumer data are usually read from the technical data dialog of this component. You can make different settings.
You are here:
Name
Specifies the name of the component. You can modify the name. Clicking 
restores the default setting.
Calculation
Abbreviation: The abbreviation will be used for labeling. You may edit the name as you see fit. Clicking 
restores the default setting.
Load: Enter the load here in kW. A common value is already proposed for most consumers.
Zeta value: Enter the zeta value. When calculating according to work sheet G11 of the ÖVGW standard, the Zeta-value will be determined by the program for all components. In these cases, the field will be grayed out and cannot be modified.
dp (Reserve): In case the gas network is supposed to be extended behind the particular consumer at a later time, you may enter an appropriate value as a reserve/buffer here. The feed pipe to the consumer will thus be dimensioned in such a way that the partial network to be following later will be sufficiently served.
Nominal diameter: The nominal diameter results either from the calculated dimension of the section part (entry = Section part) or it can be preset (e.g. DN20). If the consumer is connected to a gas socket, the nominal diameter cannot be changed and always is set to DN15.
Simultaneity of consumer in flow path: You may specify the simultaneity percentage of the consumer here. In this respect, the single feed pipe to the device will always be calculated as 100 %. Only where several partial volume flow rates are conjoined, simultaneity will have an effect on the dimensioning of the section parts.
Gas socket: You may specify how the gas socket is supposed to be implemented. An implementation with thermal shut-off device (TSD) will affect the calculation. Further, once the on-wall option is set active, different materials will be added to the parts list compared to the in-wall option (deactivated).
