[EnergyPlus_Support] Tools to draw HVAC diagrams

[Pavel Dybskiy <pdybskiy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim,

What tool do you use to draw your diagram?

Dear List,

I'm wondering if you can share your thoughts on your favorite tool to draft efficiently such diagrams.

Is there anything better than pencil and paper?

Thanks,

Paul

Dear Forum,

The schematic I have attached is a common boiler plant piping configuration in my experience, using an individual constant speed pump for each boiler, plus a variable speed distribution pump.

Officially it?s a ?primary ? secondary pumping loop?.

I cannot make the primary pumps shut off when the corresponding boiler is inactive.  Has anyone successfully modeled this configuration?  Do you know of an example file with this configuration?

Thanks in advance.

 

Making me think?.

Why is it?  We routinely use miracles of creativity and technology that 50-100 years ago would be considered impossible or black magic ? and also assume that whole segments of society are incapable of helping themselves  or acting intelligently.  Is it a self-fulfilling expectation?
