Typical problems

• General recommendations for users of InstalSystem 4 starting work with InstalSystem 5
• Heat source dimensioning for installations with flat stations
• How to calculate a file using a package configuration other than the one under which the file was created
• How to eliminate: "Automatic division of H/C Zone not possible"
• How to eliminate: "Automatic arrangement of pipe feeds not possible - change pipe feeds route or H/C Zone parameters or arrange pipe feeds manually"
• How to eliminate: "Cannot apply any pipe spacing"
• How to eliminate: "Incorrect building contour"
• How to eliminate: "No R.H./R.C. loop found. Loop drawing required for heating/cooling output calculations"
• How to eliminate: "Unbalanced circuit of terminal unit "XY"..."
• How to get better quality of resultant PDF files
• How to include the drawing loop lenght in the calculations?
• How to make the program run faster
• Problems with the application on computers with integrated graphics card
• Radiant heating systems - how to improve thermal and hydraulic results
