Validating your model is an important step when you are building your hydronic design. When validating your model, you should check for hydronic errors and system inconsistencies.

A very common type of error is the incompatibility between different hydronic circuits. Take, for example, distribution circuits: we have active and passive circuits. Don’t worry if you don’t know the difference, that’s something we’ll discuss another time. For now it’s important to know that passive circuits require a primary pump in order to circulate the flow. On the other hand, active circuits are able to regulate the flow themselves, making them incompatible with the primary pump.

In order to avoid such kind of mistakes, it’s important that you validate your hydronic design. But doing this by hand can be very difficult for large designs.

Tune in to watch the video now, and discover how the Hysopt software can solve this issue while assisting you in your engineering process.
