Profile plot
Access this dialog to configure and create profile plots.
In profile plot a calculated size along a path in the
network is plotted against the stretched length. Partial paths are captured
with the configuration dialog and the axes and diagram layout are configured.
The result is then for example the following profile-plot.
In a preparatory step, paths in the network are created with the path selection tool. A profile plot is then composed of these paths (path parts).
- Name – The name of the profile plot.
-
Create plot – The profile plot is
created by clicking on the button. The diagram is fitted into the desired
design view after completion of the design, the potentially open view is
brought to the front.
- View – Select the view in which the diagram is to be represented. To create your own view group, do not assign a view number.
- Type of diagram – For the profile plot the following diagram types are available:
- Node result
| Type of diagram | Intended purpose | Section |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure diagram | Represents the long-distance heating pressure diagram. This representational form is also the most complicated. As functions, the hydraulic pressure, the height profile and the steam pressure characteristic are drawn at the same time. The pressure at rest line can also be drawn in. See also Pressure charts. | F |
| Pressure | Representation of the pressure over the distance. Depending upon settings in the network data, absolute or manometric pressure is recorded | FGW |
| Hydr. pressure. | Representation of the hydraulic pressure over the path distances | FW |
| Temperature | Representation of the node temperatures over the path distances. | F |
| Difference | Representation of the difference of pressure between VL/RL of pressure (and KLB/RL in three-leader networks) over the path distances. | |
| Temperature | Representation of the temperature difference between VL/RL (and KLB/RL in three-leader networks) over the path distances. | F |
| Height | Representation of the area profile over the path distances. | |
| Supply time | Representation of the supply time over the path distance. For this evaluation, the appropriate switch must be set in the network calculation. | FW |
| Heat loss | Representation of the heat loss of pipes over the path distances. | F |
| Spec. heat loss | Representation of the heat loss of pipes over the path distances. | F |
- Element result
- Speed – Representation of the speed in pipings over the path distances.
- Spec. pressure loss Representation of the spec. pressure loss of pipings over the path distance.
- For other object types (pump, valve,…) the value 0 is recorded.
- Inside diameter – Representation of the piping inside diameter over the path distances.
- For other object types (pump, valve,…) the value 0 is recorded.
- Mass flow – Representation of the mass flow over the path distances
