Heat
exchangers are placed in pipes. The heat exchanger is used to supply energy to
or remove energy from the water which flows into the pipe. To create a new heat
exchanger, right-click in the grid form and select Create new. A detailed
form opens in which you can define the exchanger. The data which you enter for
the exchanger is valid only for the current model. Thus the same exchanger can
be used in several models with different data!
Give the heat exchanger a name or select an existing exchanger from the list at the top right. The power (kW) of a heat exchanger is specified with a basic power (kW) + a temperature-dependent component kW/°C where the temperature relates to the temperature of incoming water in the exchanger. Negative power means that energy is removed from the water (temperature reduction), while positive power means that energy is added to the water in the pipe. This exchanger supplies energy with an power of 4000 kW, regardless of the incoming water temperature, is located in the return in pipe A1102 adjacent to node F899.
