How to use the thermal flywheel feature ?

[Customer]

Finally got some time to look at the new features can you explain how to use them?

[John Armstrong]

Firstly select either Daily or Annual Flywheel

If you select Daily it will then ask you for confirmation on the settings (see blow where to changes these)

Clicking Yes will run the heat simulation to view the results, select Thermal Flywheel from the Data Color list.

 

The mine can then be coloured by either the Dry / Wet Blub High and Low

To change the settings - go to Settings | Simulation | Thermal Flywheel

The annual fly wheel is a similar process - Select Annual Flywheel

Again it will prompt you for confirmation on temperatures

It will then run heat simulation for each month of the year

Viewing the result of each month go to the Data Color list and select the month (dry or wet)

Finally the annual result for each airway can be viewed from the Info tab in the properties dialog

For more detailed information see the VentSim manual, and we'd be interested in any feedback you have...
