Preface
While creating modern buildings Heating systems developed for various purposes must have appropriate qualities designed to provide thermal comfort or the required thermal conditions in the premises of these buildings. A modern heating system must match the interior of the premises, be easy to use and
stand for users. A modern heating system allows automatic
redistribute heat flows between rooms of the building, to the maximum extent possible
use any regular and irregular internal and external heat inputs brought into the heated room, must be programmable for any thermal operating conditions
operation of premises and buildings.
To create such modern systems heating requires a significant technical variety of shut-off and control valves, a certain set of control instruments and devices, a compact and reliable structure of the pipeline set. The degree of reliability of each element and device of the heating system must correspond to modern high requirements and be identical between all elements of the system.
This manual on the calculation of water heating systems is based on the comprehensive use of equipment from HERZ Armaturen GmbH for buildings for various purposes. This manual has been developed in accordance with current standards and contains basic reference
And technical materials in the text and in appendices. When designing, you should additionally use the company’s catalogs, construction and sanitary standards, special
ancient literature. The book is aimed at specialists with education and design practice in the field of heating buildings.
In ten sections this manual given guidelines and examples of hydraulic
technical and thermal calculation of vertical and horizontal water heating systems with
measures for selecting equipment for heating points.
The first section systematizes the fittings of the company HERZ Armaturen GmbH, which is divided into 4 groups. In accordance with the presented systematization, we have developed
methods of design and hydraulic calculation of heating systems, which are set out in
sections 2, 3 and 4 of this manual. In particular, the principles for selecting reinforcement of the second and third groups are presented methodically different, and the main provisions for the selection are defined
differential pressure regulators. In order to systematize the hydraulic calculation methodology
various heating systems, the manual introduces the concept of “regulated section” of the circulation
ring, as well as “the first and second directions of hydraulic calculation”
By analogy with the type of nomogram for hydraulic calculations for metal-polymer pipes, the manual contains a nomogram for hydraulic calculations of steel pipes, which are widely used for open laying of main heating pipelines and for piping equipment at heating points. In order to increase the information content and reduce the volume of the manual, the nomograms for hydraulic selection of valves (normals) are supplemented with information general view valve and technical characteristics valves, which are located on the free part of the nominal field
The fifth section provides a methodology for selecting the main type of equipment for thermal
nodes, which is used in subsequent sections and in examples of hydraulic and thermal
heating system calculations
The sixth, seventh and eighth sections give examples of calculating various two-pipe and single-pipe heating systems in conjunction with various options heat sources
– furnace or heating networks. The examples also give practical recommendations on the selection of differential pressure regulators, on the selection of three-way mixing valves, on the selection of expansion tanks, on the design of hydraulic separators, etc.
underfloor heating
The tenth section provides a method for thermal calculation of water heating systems and
measures for selecting various heating devices for vertical and horizontal two-pipe and single-pipe heating systems.

After collecting the initial data, determining the heat losses of the house and the power of the radiators, all that remains is to perform a hydraulic calculation of the heating system. Done correctly, it is a guarantee of correct, silent, stable and reliable operation heating systems. Moreover, it is a way to avoid unnecessary investment and energy costs.
Calculations and work that need to be done in advance
Hydraulic calculation is the most time-consuming and complex design stage.
- Firstly, the balance of heated rooms and premises is determined.
- Secondly, it is necessary to select the type of heat exchangers or heating devices, and also arrange them on the house plan.
- Thirdly, calculating the heating of a private house assumes that a choice has already been made regarding the configuration of the system, types of pipelines and fittings (control and shut-off).
- Fourth, a drawing must be made heating system. It's best if it's axonometric diagram. It should indicate numbers, length of calculation sections and thermal loads.
- Fifth, the main circulation ring is installed. This closed loop, including successive sections of pipeline directed to the instrument riser (when considering a single-pipe system) or to the most remote heating device (if there is a two-pipe system) and back to the heat source.
Heating calculation in wooden house performed according to the same scheme as in a brick or any other country cottage.
Calculation procedure
Hydraulic calculation of the heating system involves solving the following problems:
- determination of pipeline diameters at various sections (economically feasible and recommended coolant flow rates are taken into account);
- calculation of hydraulic pressure losses in different areas;
- hydraulic linkage of all branches of the system (hydraulic instrumentation and others). It involves the use of control valves, which allows for dynamic balancing under non-stationary hydraulic and thermal operating conditions of the heating system;
- coolant flow and pressure loss calculation.
Are there free calculation programs?
To simplify the calculation of the heating system of a private house, you can use special programs. Of course, there are not as many of them as graphic editors, but there is still a choice. Some are distributed free of charge, others in demo versions. In any case, it will be possible to make the necessary calculations once or twice without any material investments.
Oventrop CO software
Free software"Oventrop CO" is intended to perform hydraulic calculations for heating a country house.
Oventrop CO was created to provide graphical assistance during the heating design phase. It allows you to perform hydraulic calculations for both one-pipe and two-pipe systems. Working with it is simple and convenient: there is already ready-made blocks, error control is carried out, a huge catalog of materials
Based on preliminary settings and selection of heating devices, pipelines and fittings, new systems can be designed. In addition, it is possible to adjust the existing circuit. It is carried out by selecting the power of existing equipment in accordance with the needs of heated rooms and premises.
Both of these options can be combined in this program, allowing you to adjust existing fragments and design new ones. For any calculation option, Oventrop CO selects the valve settings. In terms of execution hydraulic calculations this program ample opportunities: from selecting pipeline diameters to analyzing water flow in equipment. All results (tables, diagrams, drawings) can be printed or transferred to the Windows environment.
Software "Instal-Therm HCR"
The "Instal-Therm HCR" program allows you to calculate radiator and surface heating systems.
It comes with the InstalSystem TECE kit, which includes three more programs: Instal-San T (for designing cold and hot water supply), Instal-Heat&Energy (for calculating heat losses) and Instal-Scan (for scanning drawings).
The “Instal-Therm HCR” program is equipped with expanded catalogs of materials (pipes, water consumers, fittings, radiators, thermal insulation and shut-off and control valves). The calculation results are presented in the form of specifications for the materials and products offered by the program. The only drawback of the trial version is that it cannot be printed.
Computing capabilities of "Instal-Therm HCR": - selection by diameter of pipes and fittings, as well as tees, shaped products, distributors, bushings and pipeline thermal insulation; - determination of the lifting height of pumps located in the mixers of the system or on the site; - hydraulic and thermal calculations of heating surfaces, automatic determination optimal temperature input (power); - selection of radiators taking into account cooling in the pipelines of the working agent.
The trial version is free to use, but it has a number of limitations. Firstly, as with most shareware programs, the results cannot be printed, nor can they be exported. Secondly, only three projects can be created in each application of the package. True, you can change them as much as you like. Thirdly, the created project is saved in a modified format. Files with this extension will not be read by any other trial or even standard version.
Software "HERZ C.O."
The program "HERZ C.O." is freely distributed. With its help, you can make a hydraulic calculation of both one-pipe and two-pipe heating systems. An important difference from others is the ability to perform calculations in new or reconstructed buildings, where a glycol mixture acts as a coolant. This software has a certificate of conformity from CSPS LLC.
"HERZ C.O." provides the user with the following options: selection of pipes by diameter, settings of pressure difference regulators (branching, base of drains); analysis of water flow and determination of pressure losses in equipment; calculation of hydraulic resistance of circulation rings; taking into account the necessary authorities of thermostatic valves; decrease in circulation rings overpressure by selecting valve settings. For user convenience, graphical data entry is organized. The calculation results are displayed in the form of diagrams and floor plans.
Schematic representation of the calculation results in HERZ C.O. much more convenient than specifications for materials and products, in the form of which the results of calculations in other programs are displayed
The program has developed contextual help that provides information about individual commands or entered indicators. Multi-window mode allows you to simultaneously view several types of data and results. Working with the plotter and printer is extremely simple; before printing, you can preview the output pages.
Program "HERZ C.O." equipped with a convenient function for automatically searching and diagnosing errors in tables and diagrams, as well as quick access to catalog data of fittings, heating devices and pipes
Modern control systems with constantly changing thermal conditions require equipment to monitor changes and regulate them.
It is very difficult to make a choice of control valves without knowing the market situation. Therefore, in order to make heating calculations for the area of the entire house, it is better to use a software application with a large library of materials and products. Not only the operation of the system itself, but also the amount of capital investment that will be required for its organization depends on the correctness of the data obtained.
