Inline Equipment Components - Circular Axial Flow Fan c

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

1. Select Inline Plant Equipment in the Categories dropdown list.

2. Select CIRCULAR Axial Flow Fan in the Available Type dropdown list to display the Axial Flow Fan window:

   

   You are required to input the following dimensions:

   • Name(Ref)

   • Duct Diameter

   • Overall Length

   • Male Collar (A)

   • Male Collar (L)

   • Motor Height

   • Motor Length

   • Motor Width

   • Motor Pos to Pa

3. To visualize how the dimensions equate to the actual piece of HVAC, select Picture to display a detailed drawing for Inline Plant Equipment Catalog - Circular Axial Flow Fan.

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

4. Select Transpose width/depth to exchange Duct Width AA dimension with the Duct Width AB dimension.

5. Specify a type of joint to use for the Arrjoint (Arrive Joint) and Leajoint (Leave joint). For a detailed description, see Create / Modify HVAC Components.

6. After selecting the type of joint to use for the Arrjoint and Leajoint, enter the Motor Direction.

7. In the Motor 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. In the Connect list, select Connect or Unchanged:

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

   • Select Unchanged (default when Modify is selected) - positions the piece of HVAC at the co-ordinates 0.00.

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

9. Select Defaults to reset all the fields back to when the Axial Flow Fan window was opened.

10. Select Fit to orientate the Axial Flow Fan to automatically match the outlet (p-leave) of the previous piece of HVAC to the inlet (p-arrive) of the next piece.

11. Select OK to create the Axial Flow Fan component and close the Axial Flow Fan window. You will be returned to the HVAC Window.

12. Select Cancel to discard all the field changes and close the Axial Flow Fan window.
