KTS design module
The KTS design module enables you to dimension the KTS thermal system, a centralised DHW heating system based on the flow-through principle. It only takes three steps to achieve the result, including documentation of the results.
Determining requirements
In the first step, demand determination, you define the specific demand for your planning using demand profiles or by specifying manual tapping processes.
Dispensing processes
With manually created dispensing processes, you create a circulation profile on the basis of created dispensing processes.

KTS design module
The KTS design module enables you to dimension the KTS thermal system, a centralised DHW heating system based on the flow-through principle. It only takes three steps to achieve the result, including documentation of the results.
- Determining requirements
  In the first step, demand determination, you define the specific demand for your planning using demand profiles or by specifying manual tapping processes.
  - Demand profile by reference object
    With a demand profile by reference object, you can add a demand profile to your planning based on a predefined building type, a predefined value range for the reference value and a predefined value range for the specific demand. The key figures provided are based on actual measurements in the respective reference objects.
  - Special profile
    With a special profile, you can create a demand profile based on a predefined building type, a predefined value range for the reference value and a predefined value range for the specific demand. The key figures provided are based on actual measurements in the respective reference objects.
  - Demand profile according to DIN 4708
    You can use a demand profile in accordance with DIN 4708 to create a demand profile based on a demand index and the specification of the peak demand.
  - Dispensing processes
    With manually created dispensing processes, you create a circulation profile on the basis of created dispensing processes.
  - Circulation volume flow
    You create a circulation profile using a manually created circulation volume flow.
- Interim result
  In the second step, ‘Interim result’, a combination of results is determined on the basis of the requirements profiles and the calculation parameters.
- Result
  The third and final step, Results, provides you with comprehensive results documentation.

Dispensing processes

With manually created dispensing processes, you create a circulation profile on the basis of created dispensing processes.

Description of the demand profile

Enter the name for the requirements profile in the Name input field.
If required, enter an explanation of the usage profile in the Detailed description of the usage profile input field.

Adding dispensing operations

Create new dispensing profiles with Manage > dispensing operationsAdd.
1. If required, adjust the default value for the operation description in the Operation column.
2. In the From (clock) column, enter the start time of the dispensing process in the format HH:MM. Alternatively, you can also select the start time by clicking on the button.
3. In the To (clock) column, enter the end time of the dispensing process in the format HH:MM. Alternatively, you can also select the end time by clicking on the button.
4. In the Volume flow (l/min) column, enter the volume flow in l/min of the dispensing process.
5. Enter the number of dispensing operations in the Number column.
6. In the Simultaneity (%) column, enter the simultaneity in %.
7. In the Outlet temperature (°C) column, enter the outlet temperature in °C.
  The diagram displayed in the dialogue area below shows the relationship between the PWH power requirement in kW and the time.

Delete tapping processes

Delete selected tapping processes with Manage > tapping processesDelete.
1. Select the dispensing process to be deleted from the table.
2. Call up the Manage > tapping processesDelete function.
  
  CAUTION:
  There is no further prompt to delete the dispensing profile. After calling up the Delete function, the dispensing profile cannot be restored.
  
  The selected tapping process is removed from the table.
Exit the dialogue Demand profile from tapping processes with Ok.

Note:
A circulation volume flow is automatically created, which can be adjusted afterwards.

The requirements profile is displayed in the window Determine requirements (1 of 3).
