### 6.1.3. Heating riser

Heating risers are treated as terminal units. They can only be inserted into a “Schematic view” type sheet.

Button on the “Central” toolbar:

Appearance on screen (schematic view):

“Heating riser” component data:

TU symbol

Text field. You can enter a caption that will identify the radiator unambiguously.

Drawing type

Selection field. Drawing type: single / double.

Q/F [W]

Numerical field. Required output of terminal unit.

Dt/Dq [0C]

Numerical field. Specified temperature drop across the terminal unit. Value in brackets indicates the default value.

Pipe type

Selection field. Type of pipe used in the heating riser. You can select it from a list opened by clicking the button to the right of the field or enter directly using a letter shortcut.

Length [m]

Numerical field. Length of terminal unit.

ti/qi [0C]

Numerical field. Temperature in room where the terminal unit is installed.

H [m]

Numerical field. Elevation of the centre of terminal unit. It can be determined automatically (value in brackets) or specified by the user. To revert to automatic determination enter “?”.

Component status

Selection field. Select from list the current status of component: existing or under design. Affects only bill of material.

Label type

Selection field. Select from list the type of terminal unit label in drawing. After selecting “Configure”, a component appearance window is opened, where you can create (by copying) and configure the appearance of components in the drawing. After specifying a new label, it is then available in a pull down list in the table.
