Dashboard (Circulation Simulation)

The Dashboard (Simulation) window manages the simulation results.

The Dashboard is divided into individual coloured buttons. If a button is highlighted in green, the results are within the optimal range. If buttons are highlighted in yellow, the simulation results are in the borderline area between the optimal and non-optimal ranges. If, on the other hand, a button is highlighted in red, the results are not optimal. If buttons are highlighted in grey, these values are purely for information purposes and have no further function. The ‘No results’ message is displayed when no results are available.

Table 1. Buttons in the Dashboard window (Simulation)
Button	Description	Physical unit
TWE, CHP	Displays the permissible temperature range of the selected domestic hot water heater or chilled water cooler. Clicking on the button takes you to the Domestic Hot Water Heater dialogue box.	[°C]
Min. temp.	Displays the lowest temperature in the system. Clicking the button highlights the relevant section in blue.	[°C]
Pump	Displays the selected operating point of the pump. Clicking the button takes you to the Pump Settings dialogue box.	[hPa]/[l/h]
Hydraulically balanced circuits	Displays the number of hydraulically balanced circuits as a proportion of all circulation circuits.	-
Control levels	Shows the number of control levels.	-
Max. dp. thermostatic valve	Displays the maximum pressure drop of the thermostatic valve. Clicking the button selects the thermostatic valve with the highest pressure drop .	[hPa]
Max. dp. static valve	Displays the maximum pressure drop of the static valve. Clicking the button selects the static valve with the highest pressure drop .	[hPa]
Max. flow velocity	Displays the maximum flow velocity. Clicking the button selects the section with the maximum flow velocity.	[m/s]
Average specific heat loss	Displays the specific heat loss. Clicking the button selects the corresponding section.	[W/m]
Heat loss	Displays the total heat loss of the pipe network.	[W]
