Minor head Loss pressure drops

If you know the minor pressure drop of a an element of your water system or aeraulics, you can save it in your database according to its parameters.

Example: you know the coefficient of head loss from a radiator based on the number of its tubes. To create this element and make it available in the calculation of your networks...

Step 1/4:

Simply enter:

  • The name of the element: " RADIATOR"

minor pressure drops

Step 2/4:

  • varying the parameter name: "Number of tubes" and
  • The values ??that will be selected for this setting: 5 10 15 20 (sample values??!)

minor head losses

Step 3/4:

  • The pressure loss coefficients for these parameters 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.5 (sample values??!)

Step 4/4:

  • You choose a representative picture of the element and you save it.

  • This element will be integrated and available for the calculation of minor head loss
