    - Supply pressure (drinking water design options)
      The supply pressure under recording is divided into two areas. One is the information on the minimum supply pressure and the other is the determination of the resting pressure at the tapping points.
    - Pipes/insulation (design options for drinking water)
      The Pipes/Insulation section under Recording allows you to customise individual definitions for each section type.
    - Pipe series (design options for drinking water)
      The Pipe rows area under Recording provides an overview of individual pipe systems and enables individual adjustments to be made in the pipe system.
    - Types of utilisation drinking water (design options drinking water)
      The Usage types section under Recording allows you to select and manage individual usage types.
    - Calculation flow rates (drinking water design options)
      In the Calculation flow rates area under Recording, select whether the calculation flow rate from the reference values of DIN 1988-300 or from the stored manufacturer's specifications is used for the design.
    - Manufacturer catalogues (design options for drinking water)
      The links to the respective product sequence are defined by component category in the Manufacturer catalogues area under Entry. Prefixes for the labelling are also defined.
    - Stagnation (drinking water design options)
      In the Stagnation area under Validation, you can set the maximum stagnation time, among other things.
    - Flow velocities (design options for drinking water)
      The maximum permissible flow velocities per medium and section type are displayed in the Flow velocities area under Calculation.
    - Circulation (DHW design options)
      Calculation parameters for hot water and cold water circulation are specified in the Circulation area under Calculation.
    - Pressure boosting (design options for drinking water)
      In the Pressure boost ing area under Calculation, information on the average pressure drop and settings for the pressure boosting system are specified.
    - Apparatus (design options for drinking water)
      In the Apparatus section under Calculation, the maximum permissible apparatus pressure loss is specified for individual apparatus types.
    - General (Drinking water design options)
      In the General area under Material, you define settings that influence the material determination.
    - Component properties (design options for drinking water)
      In the component properties area under Material, settings for determining the material for the pre-wall elements are specified.
  - Construction stages
    You can divide a drawing into construction stages so that you can later create a material extract according to construction stages.
  - Component properties
    In the Edit and Calculate work perspective, your selection in the drawing is highlighted in colour. Section properties and component properties can be displayed and edited differently from the global project settings.
  - Component filter
    The component filter allows you to quickly filter the selected components in the drawing.
  - Drainage areas
    The Drainage areas window in the Drainage section is divided into two tabs.
  - Find function
    CALHYDRA has a parameterised search function that supports you when searching for drawn sections and components in the drawing and when selecting products.
  - Hydraulics report
    With the preview of the calculation output, CALHYDRA supports you in customising the calculation output.
  - Mass extract
    With the preview of the mass statement, CALHYDRA supports you in customising the printout of the masses.
  - Material editor
    With the material editor, CALHYDRA supports you with convenient and fast determination of your dimensions.
  - Diaphragm expansion vessel
  - Options Wizard (waste water)
    The options wizard guides you through the settings for the design.
  - Options assistant (heating)
    The options wizard guides you through the settings for the design.
  - Options Wizard (drinking water)
    The options wizard guides you through the settings for the design.
  - Project data
    The Project data dialogue contains project information for the current project, for example for the project cover sheet or to determine the rainfall donations.
  - Product sequence or product selection
    In the Product sequence or Product selection dialogue, select the product sequence or a product for components.
  - Project data
    The Project data dialogue contains project information for the current project, for example for the project cover sheet or to determine the rainfall donations.
  - Simulation
    The simulation is divided into a circulation simulation for hot and cold water and a simulation of a cold water hygiene system.
  - Section properties
    In the Edit and Calculate work perspective, your selection in the drawing is highlighted in colour. Section properties and component properties can be displayed and edited differently from the global project settings.

    The Insert drawing reference function guides you through the settings for inserting a drawing reference.
  - Water softening system

Circulation (DHW design options)

Calculation parameters for hot water and cold water circulation are specified in the Circulation area under Calculation.

The following calculation parameters can be specified in the Circulation area on the PWC-C and PWC-H tabs:

Specification of the maximum permissible difference between hot water and circulation temperature (Δϑ_TE) at a DHW heater in K
Specification of the maximum permissible flow velocity for circulation pipes < DN20 (v_max) in m/s
Specification of the mean pressure drop (R_m) of the circulation pipes including the individual resistance losses in hPa/m
Minimum pressure loss in thermostatic circulation control valves (Δp_ZRV,min) in hPa
Use the Consider mixing factor checkbox to specify whether the design should take the mixing factor into account.
Specifying the mixing factor
Note:
The value entered must be between 0 and 1.
