Rect Grille - Rect Inlet (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 Rect Grille - Rect Inlet in the Available Type drop-down list to display the Rect Grille - Rect Inlet window:

   

   The Rect Grille - Rect Inlet window default is a standard stock size, but can be changed by you using one of the following 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 required size for the HVAC component.

     3. In the Width 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.

     4. The Clash Vol OUT field will be pre-populated with the obstruction volume associated with the Circ Diffuser - Circ Inlet and the ducting, but can be changed by you to the required joint.

   • 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.

2. You are required to input the following dimensions:

   • Name(Ref)

   • Duct width AA

   • Duct depth AB

   • End Flange Width

   • Flange Thickness

   • Insertion Length

   • Arrive Extension.

3. To visualize how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC, click Picture to display a detailed drawing for Rectangular Grille with Rectangular Inlet (CAEPE).

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

4. Click Transpose Width/Depth to exchange Duct Width AA dimension with Duct Depth AB dimension.

5. Specify a type of joint to use for the Arrive Joint. Refer to for a detailed description.

6. After selecting the type of joint to use for the Arrive Joint, you must enter the Width Direction.

7. In the Width 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.

8. The ClashVol OUT field will be pre-populated with the obstruction volume associated with the Circ Diffuser - Circ Inlet and the ducting, but can be changed by you to the required joint.

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 Rect Grille - Circ Inlet window was opened.

11. Click Fit to orientate the Rect Grille - Circ Inlet 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 Rect Grille - Circ Inlet component and close the Rect Grille - Circ Inlet Window. You will be returned to the HVAC Window.

13. Click Cancel to discard all the field changes and close the Rect Grille - Circ Inlet window.
