Characteristic curve

The Characteristic curve window displays the characteristic curve including the operating points of a valve or appliance.

In the Heating section, the setting values including the set valve authority rangeare also displayed for adjustable valves(thermostatic valve, return screw fitting, balancing valve).

If you have selected a diaphragm expansion vessel in the drawing, the pressure distribution is displayed.

If you move the mouse pointer over the calculated operating point (red dot), the selected operating point (blue dot), the setting value or the Kv operating point (orange dots) of the components, detailed information is displayed.
