Testing new ducting and piping systems

00:04

Select the centrifugal exhaust fan

00:07

and use the create duct icon to draw a short length of duct

00:17

once complete,

00:18

select the duct and review the properties to see

00:21

that the default system type has been applied.

00:24

And there is no system abbreviation

00:28

from the dropdown menu,

00:29

change the system type to kitchen extract and note the system abbreviation,

00:35

the default system name

00:37

and the changing color to the system.

00:42

Following the same procedure. A new piping system can be created

00:47

from the system browser.

00:49

Right mouse selects the hydraulic supply system from within piping systems.

00:57

Duplicate the system

00:59

and then rename to CHW hyphen F for chilled water flow.

01:08

Right mouse select the new system and choose type properties

01:14

as with duct systems.

01:15

All piping systems are assigned a system classification that cannot be altered

01:21

in the case of our new system. The classification is hydraulic supply.

01:26

Edit the graphics override to change the color of the system to blue

01:31

and alter the material if required.

01:34

The values for fluid dynamic viscosity and fluid density shown here grayed out are

01:40

determined by the range of fluids and

01:42

their respective values in the mechanical settings.

01:45

The value shown here will be set based on the

01:48

chosen fluid type and fluid temperature of the system properties.

01:54

Ensure the fluid type is set to water

01:56

and the temperature is set to around 60 degrees.

02:01

Finally change a system of abbreviation to suit chilled water

02:08

select. Ok.

02:09

And close the dialog box.

02:14

Ensure the current view is H VAC floor plans. One mec

02:22

select the Fang call unit and use the create pipe

02:25

icon to draw a short length of pipe from the in

02:29

connection.

02:31

Ensuring the pipe type is set to carbon steel screwed flang connection.

02:40

Once complete,

02:41

select the pipe and review the properties to see.

02:45

The default system type has been applied. And there is no system abbreviation

02:51

from the dropdown menu, change the system type to CHW hyphen F

02:57

and note the system abbreviation,

02:59

the default system name

03:01

and the changing color to the system.

03:06

The process for creating new duct and pipe system types is very similar.

03:11

Both are created from existing system

03:13

types and have predetermined system classifications.

03:18

The individual type properties of each provide customization options

03:22

allowing the user to distinguish between different systems.

03:26

Creating a range of predefined system types

03:29

for duct and piping within a project template

03:32

provides consistency across the delivery team and saves valuable time.
