Troubleshooting: Closed Loop Hydronic Network Calculations

Use the following information to troubleshoot issues when viewing calculations associated with closed loop hydronic network analysis.

Issue Solution
Calculated Flow and Calculated Pressure Drop do not display on the selected pump. To calculate flow and pressure drop for a pump, do the following:
  • In the Mechanical Settings dialog, under Pipe Settings - Calculation, click the Hydronic Networks tab, and enable analysis for closed loop hydronic piping networks. See Specify Calculation.
  • For each pump family, set the Classification property to Pump. See Classification.
Flow, Pressure Drop, and Critical Path properties for a hydronic network (supply and return) do not display. The network does not calculate values if there is more than one open end. Check the network for open ends and add a cap where needed. See Show Disconnects and Add a Cap.

For mechanical equipment families, link the connectors for supply and return. See Link Connectors.
