Circular Flanged Fire Damper (CIPE)

The task of creating an HVAC Component is initiated from the HVAC Window.

1. Select Inline Plant Equipment in the Categories drop-down list and then CIRCULAR, Flanged Fire Damper in the Available Type drop-down list to display the Circular Flanged FD window:

   

2. You are required to input the following dimensions:

   • FFD Name(Ref)

   • Duct Diameter

   • Square Body Size

   • Body Flanged Size

   • Length

   • Arrive Extension

   • Leave Extension

3. To visualize how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC, click Picture to display a detailed drawing for Circular Flanged Fire Damper (CAIPE).

   Note: The fields will be pre-populated with default dimensions. These dimensions are governed by the details defined in the HVAC Catalogue.

4. Specify a type of joint to use for the Arrive Joint and Leave Joint. Refer to Create/Modify HVAC Component for a detailed description.

5. After selecting the type of joint to use for the Arrive Joint and Leave Joint you must enter the Control Direction.

6. In the Control Direction specify the axis that should be used. Valid axes are E (East), N (North), U (Up), -E (negative East), -N (negative North) or -U (Negative Up).X, Y, Z, -X, -Y or -Z.

7. The Actuator fields will be pre-populated with default values but can be changed by you.

8. The Clash Vol fields will be pre-populated with the obstruction volumes associated with the rectangular flanged FD component and the ducting, but can be changed by you.

9. In the Position list, select Connect or Unchanged:

   • Click Connect (default when Create is selected) - connects the piece of HVAC to the previous one.

   • Click Unchanged (default when Modify is selected) - positions the component at the co-ordinates 0.00.

     Note: Unchanged is usually used, when Modify is selected, it does not connect the component but positions it at 0.00, in effect in a floating position.

10. Click Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Circular Flanged FD window was opened.

11. Click Fit to orientate the Circular Flanged FD to automatically match the outlet (p-leave) of the previous piece of HVAC to the inlet (p-arrive) of the next piece.

12. Click OK to create the Circular Flanged FD component and close the Circular Flanged FD Window. You will be returned to the HVAC Window.

13. Click Cancel to discard all the field changes and close the Circular Flanged FD window.
