Heating Installation Project and Heat Loss Calculations

We project boiler, heat pump, heat exchanger, collector and terminal units as a single system. We determine the heat needs of the spaces and design the distribution circuit and equipment operating conditions accordingly.

Account and System Design

Technical approach for Heating Installation Project

The capacity of the heating installation is not selected only from the device label power. Building heat losses, system temperature regime, simultaneous use and control scenario are evaluated together.

01 / HEATING

Heat loss calculation

Heat loss based on outer shell, window, ventilation and design temperatures is determined on a location basis.

02 / HEATING

heat generation equipment

Boiler, heat pump and heat exchanger selection; part load is considered along with operating temperatures and backup need.

03 / HEATING

distribution circuit

Pipe diameter, line losses, collector, circulation pump, expansion and safety elements are associated with the calculation.

04 / HEATING

Terminal and control

The temperature and flow conditions of the radiator, underfloor heating, fan-coil or air central coil are evaluated.

Engineering Process

Four stages from discovery to implementation project

After the project data and existing system conditions are determined, calculations, layout, equipment and field coordination are brought together in the same technical document.

01

Building and location data

Architectural project, thermal insulation and target interior and exterior design temperatures are taken.

02

Thermal load and system setup

After heat loss calculation, the appropriate temperature regime and device layout are determined.

03

hydraulic design

Pipe diameters, pump head and critical line losses are calculated.

04

Project documents

Plans, diagrams, device descriptions, quantity surveying and application coordination are prepared.

Before Starting the Project

Information required for preliminary evaluation

Depending on the type of project, the following data may be shared:

  • Architectural plan, floor heights and facade information
  • Heat permeability properties of walls, roofs, floors, joinery
  • Intended use of the space and target temperatures
  • Existing boiler/heat pump system and energy source
  • Heat release terminal preference and shaft/installation volumes
Field and Operation

Things to consider in design

Terminal capacity should also be examined when converting an existing high-temperature installation to a low-temperature heat pump. Condensing boiler or heat pump efficiency depends on the return temperature of the system and actual operating conditions.

The regulations to be applied to the project, relevant TS/TS EN standards, equipment manufacturer requirements and employer technical specifications are evaluated together. Design assumptions are verified against the actual conditions of the facility.

Frequently Asked Technical Question

How do you determine the heating pipe diameter?

The calculated circuit flow rate, allowed speed, pipe and equipment pressure losses and pump operating point are evaluated together.

Detailed Technical Coverage

Subcomponents of Heating Systems

In building and industrial heating projects, heat generation, distribution, terminal and control equipment are solved on the same heat loss and hydraulic design.

01 / SUBSYSTEM

Heat loss and design load

Within the framework of the TS EN 12831 approach, space temperature, exterior design temperature, heat-permeable shell elements, air leakage and ventilation losses are analyzed on a space-by-site basis. Simultaneous operation assumptions of the entire system are also shown.

02 / SUBSYSTEM

Boiler and heating center

Mechanical coordination of heat production source, cascade boiler and exchanger arrangement, control sensors, security elements, chimney and technical volume is carried out. The capacity calculation is evaluated by efficiency, part load and actual return water temperature.

03 / SUBSYSTEM

Heat pump and low temperature system

Air-water or water-water heat pump is selected by design outdoor air condition, heating water temperature and terminal capacity. The terminal effect of the transition to low temperature in the existing radiator installation is monitored.

04 / SUBSYSTEM

Radiator and floor heating

In radiator, panel and floor heating circuits, the load, round-trip temperature, pipe step, collector flow rates, control zones and surface temperature requirements of the space are calculated separately.

05 / SUBSYSTEM

Collector and hydraulic distribution

Main round-trip collectors, balancing and control valves, pipe diameters, pump, air separator, sediment trap and expansion groups are designed together. The pressure loss of the critical line is used in equipment selection.

06 / SUBSYSTEM

Temperature automation and energy efficiency

Outdoor weather compensation, zone thermostat, mixing valve, variable flow rate, variable speed pump and BMS integration are defined according to the operating scenario. Incorrect configuration of the control circuit may reduce device efficiency.

07 / SUBSYSTEM

Implementation, testing and delivery

Pipe washing, pressure/leakage test, deaeration, hydraulic balance, circuit flow verification, insulation and boiler/heat pump commissioning records are tracked in the delivery file.

Equipment list

Boiler/heat pump, heat exchanger, boiler, collector, heat terminal, pump, balancing valve, expansion tank, safety group and control sensors.
