A new HP consumers page lists the condensers, water heat exchangers and hot gas cassettes, each with its own node, name and capacity. On a booster, the condensers are called gas coolers.
An installation can have more than one condenser or gas cooler battery, and the discharge flow splits between them. On a drydx with more than one condenser, set the liquid line's start node on the installation configuration page.
When every condenser has a capacity, the calculation sizes the high-pressure lines on those capacities. The pipe system overview warns when their total differs from the calculated heat rejection by more than the tolerance in your calculation settings.
The consumer tables have a type column, evaporator or cabinet. The consumers xlsx import and export include it.
The condenser node is no longer on the installation configuration page or in your defaults. You set it on the HP consumers page.
1.5 – Calculation settings per installation
Every installation keeps its own calculation settings. Changing your defaults no longer changes the results of existing installations; the defaults apply to new installations.
An installation's settings are changed where they are used: selection criteria and new-row delivery and insulation on each pipeline page, the diameter series on material selection, fittings and oil traps on the installation configuration.
A setting that differs from your defaults is marked as custom, and can be reset to your defaults or saved as your new default, one section at a time or all at once.
1.4 – Follow line and line totals
Follow line asks before it overwrites the target line, and can join doubled lines and keep the insulation, delivery and diameter of matching rows.
The overview has a line totals table: the highest pressure drop, temperature drop and velocity of each line, its charge, and the installation's total pipe charge.
Either diameters table exports as that table or as a pipe network overview, with the low-pressure and high-pressure lines on their own tabs.
The consumers page exports every consumer at once, one tab per consumer type.
Every number field shows and saves the same number of decimals.
Buttons use one verb per action, and every modal has the same width.
1.3 – Greyed-out fields and clearer error pages
Fields that depend on another setting, and buttons that can't be used yet, are shown greyed out instead of hidden.
The diameter increment can be switched off without losing its values.
Clear pages for a location or installation that doesn't exist, a page you have no access to, and a server that can't be reached, with a Retry button.
PDF reports carry the app name, logo and version on every page, and the line name repeats on each page.
The app runs full width, the dark theme has calmer colours, and long modals keep their title and buttons on screen.
Recalculating after a small edit is faster.
1.2 – PDF exports and a new layout
Every export is available as PDF as well as xlsx, from an export window where you choose the content and the format.
All pipelines export to one xlsx file with a combined calculation basis tab.
Sizing shows the results of every operating case, and can size on all cases at once.
A new layout with a floating navigation bar, and a Light, Dark or System theme.
The admin page is one table of accounts, searchable by status.
1.1 – Stored results and account approval
Results are kept with each line. When the inputs change, the results are greyed out until the line is calculated again.
The consumers overview is built from the stored results, without recalculating.
New accounts wait for approval, and you get an email when your account's status changes.
You can delete your own account. Admins can approve accounts, revoke access and reset passwords.
The app is fully available in Dutch.
A page you have no access to names the missing module and lets you request it.
1.0 – First release
First release: size the refrigerant lines of dry-expansion and CO2 booster installations, with pressure drop, temperature drop, velocity and charge per segment.
Several operating cases per installation, each with its own conditions, and a choice of which cases the diameters are sized on.
Fitting losses and oil traps on gas risers are included in the pressure drop.
Warnings for flash gas, discharge temperature, inlet superheat and too low a velocity in gas risers.
Refrigerants CO2, R134a, R404A, R407F, R513A and R290.
Pipelines export to xlsx with the calculated columns and a calculation basis tab, and import back.
