Flat Low Vel’ Terminal (CEIE)

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

1. Select Extra Inline Equipment in the Categories drop-down list and then Flat Low Vel’ Terminal in the Available Type drop-down list to display the Flat LV Terminal window:

   

2. The Flat LV Terminal window default is a standard stock size, but can be changed by you using the following two methods:

   • Standard Stock Sizes:

     1. In the Name(Ref) field, input the name of the HVAC component.

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

     2. To choose from the standard stock sizes available from the HVAC Catalogue, in the Stock Size drop-down list, click the size for the HVAC component.

     3. In the Handling drop-down list, click the Handling of the Flat LV Terminal.

     4. In the Direction X 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.

        The Face Clash Volume field is pre-populated with the obstruction volume associated with the Flat LV Terminal and the ducting.

   • Non Standard Stock Sizes (Special)

     5. If you chose not to use a standard stock piece of HVAC, from the Stock Size drop-down list, click Special.

3. You are required to input the following dimensions:

   • Name(Ref)

   • Duct Diameter

   • End Width (A)

   • End Height (D)

   • End Depth

   • Plenum Width (B)

   • Plenum Height (E)

   • Plenum Depth (G)

4. Top Width (C)

   • Top Height

   • Top Depth (F)

   • Top to Conn cl(l)

   • Centreline Offset

   • Arrive Extension

5. To visualize how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC, click Picture to display a detailed drawing for Flat Low Velocity Terminal (CAEPE).

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

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

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

8. In the Direction X 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.

9. The Face Clash Volume field is pre-populated with the obstruction volume associated with the Flat LV Terminal and the ducting.

10. 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.

11. You can orientate the face of the Flat LV Terminal component, from the Handling drop-down list, select Face Back or Face Front.

12. Click Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Flat LV Terminal window was opened.

13. Click Fit to orientate the Flat LV Terminal to automatically match the outlet (p-leave) of the previous piece of HVAC to the inlet (p-arrive) of the next piece.

14. Click OK to create the Flat LV Terminal component and close the Flat LV Terminal Window. You will be returned to the HVAC Window.

15. Click Cancel to discard all the field changes and close the Flat LV Terminal window.
