Scope of lesson

This article presents the basic path for quick and easy design of underfloor heating installations. Projects, created in InstalSmart application, can be continued in InstalSystem application. In turn, opening of projects, created in InstalSystem application, is blocked, and the corresponding message is appeared.

Modules and program configuration

• InstalSmart with the modules:
  • Base module
  • Radiant systems

Steps to perform

Preparing the working environment

Gaining access to the application

Download the program installation file from our website: Installation files.

Installation, activation, updating

Install the program via "Install" button.

1. InstalSmart5 Manager EN.

To activate the free neutral version of the program use the multi-activation license number SM-ISFEN-2432-001-YA.

2. Program activation.

Creating the project file

Create the project using the New project function.

3. New project creation.

Working with the project

Editing the general project data

Climatic data

• Identify the location of the object to obtain the External temperature, design.
  

  

  4.Climatic data.

  
  

Storeys management

• Create the required number of storeys;
• Specify Symbol and Description for each Storey;
• Fill in the sections Position and Sizes.
  

  

  5.Storeys management.

  
  

Room data

• Choose the Method of calculating Φ - Calculated acc. to coefficient or User specified;
• (optionally) Adjust the Heat loss index Φ_surf,H.
  

  

  6.Room data.

  
  

Thermal systems / Sources

Select the method of determining the supply temperature:

• Optimized by the program in accordance with min. investment costs or heat output and press. drop;
• Impose supply temperature manually.
  

  

  7.Thermal systems / Sources.

  
  

Thermal systems / Radiant systems

• Floor systems:
  • Specify Structural parameters;
  • Specify Operating parameters.
    

    

    8.Thermal systems / Radiant systems / Floor systems.

    
    Note: InstalSmart application does not offer the following options:
  • generating loops, so there is no ability to set the Pipe laying pattern and to Generate loops drawings;
  • inserting the Peripheral zone (PZ), so the adjustment of Available spacing in PZ is impossible;
  • setting the H/C Area spacing from wall;
  • pipe-feeds routing, so there is no possibility to specify the settings for the Pipe feeds arrangement;
  • automatically indicating of the Default value θ_os,H (Temperature on the opposite side during heating period), so this value can be only User specified.
    
    
• Manifolds, fittings and control:
  • Specify parameters for the Manifold;
  • Specify parameters for the Circuit control system.
    

    

    9.Thermal systems / Radiant systems / Manifolds, fittings and control.

    
    

Editing the installation and its data

Underlay scope

• Import underlay;
• Make Scaling of the Underlay.
  

  

  10. Import underlay.

  
  For more information, see: Import underlay files.
  Note: The usage of IFC format files is not possible in the InstalSmart application.

Construction scope

InstalSmart provides the possibility to insert 2 types of Room element:

• Point room. In this case the area of the room needs to be specified manually. The area of the Heating/Cooling Floor Zone will be determined accordingly.

• Room - Allows to create contours of rooms. In this case the area of the room is indicated automatically.
  

  

  11. Inserting Room.
