Creating a Feed Pipe Zone

Shows step-by-step how to create feed pipe zones in rooms.

Before you begin

You want to define the feed pipe of a circuit in a room so that the pressure losses in the circuit caused by the feed pipes and the power output of the feed pipe in the room are taken into account in the calculation.

Requirement:

The circuit to be connected to the supply pipe has already been laid out.

Navigate to:

Module Overview ➤ Radiant Heating/Radiant Cooling ➤ Room Level

Applies to: Radiant Heating, Radiant Cooling

Module Radiant Heating Linear Building

Procedure

  1. In the Building Structure, select the room in which you would like to create the feed pipe.

    Section building structure Linear Building

  2. Click Dimension New Heating/Cooling Circuits in the symbol bar and select Feed Pipe in the context menu.
    Tip:

    Alternatively, you can also click in an empty line of the table or press F5 in the table to open the context menu.

    The New Feed Pipe dialog opens.

  3. Select the circuit to which you would like to connect the feed pipe.
  4. Enter the actual length of the feed pipe in the current room and confirm with OK.

Results

In connection with the desired pipe spacing, the required area and the return water pipe are set and the feed pipe zone will be displayed in the Code Type column of the table with the entry F.

In the pipe run view, the feed pipe between the manifold connection and the heating circuit is displayed.

What to do next

  • If necessary, create the supply pipe in other rooms through which the supply pipe leads or define additional supply pipes for other circuits that run through this room.
  • For feed pipes with additional insulation on top and other coverings, you can consider the reduced power loss as a package by entering a percentage value in the Portion Phi W column.
