2 Pipe2000 GUI The GUI (Graphical User Interface) determines how efficiently the user can utilize the software. Pipe2000 GUI only for pipe system modeling Extremely easy to use The same for all Campus Modeling projects
4
3 Creating a Hydraulic Model Using the UltraEasy Pipe2000 GUI (for steady and transient modeling) Backgrounds Laying out Pipe Systems Providing data Hydraulic Calc. Labeling your Pipe System

13
12 Change Node Types 1) Select node (LC) and select Type (Pump) from Dropdown List LC
14
13 Change Node Types Node is changed to Pump
15
14 Change Node Types Node Type changes complete – Enter Data for each Pipe and Node
16
15 Entering Pipe Data 1)Select pipe and 2) choose Pipe Type 3) data entered 4) select fittings Pipe Type button from list automatically from Fittings List Length-- scaled One Click and Select Pipe Type can Provide Required Pipe Data
17
16 Enter Node Data Pump Data – multiple pumps variable speed pumps --- max level --- min level Tank Data – fixed diameters various shapes

30 Chilled Water Model Supply Return Chillers & Pump Flow Control Valve Sets suction pressure Main pipes = 6 in. Buld. Pipes = 4 in. HW C = 140
32
31 Modeling Chilled Water System Loads Flow Regulators simulate valves which control the flows to buildings Supply side Hydraulics determines the pressure available at the building Return side Hydraulics determines the pressure required at the building to transport water back to pump & chillers If supply side pressure at the flow control valve is not sufficient the flow control valve will open wide and provide less flow which can be accommodated by the return side

45 Steam Distribution System Steam Plant 100 psi Roughness = 0.01 millifeet Average Building Load = 400 #/hr
47
46 Modeling Steam Distribution Saturated Steam Analysis 1) plant provides saturated steam @ 100 psi 2) saturated steam is distributed to all buildings 3) Load increases from low (400 #/hr) to high (800 #/hr) Superheated Steam Analysis 1) plant provides superheated steam @ 100 psi and 450 degrees F 2) heat loss calculated using heat transfer coefficient = 0.15 3) select “Temperature Sensitive Analysis”
