2 Program overview
Program Audytor H2O is meant for graphical aiding of cold- and hot water systems design, as well
as circulation in both dwelling- and public buildings.
Correctness check and help system 439 for every entered item enable getting info on the quantity
being entered, or referring to the corresponding catalogue data.
Because the data is entered graphically, the program automatically recognizes pipes connections,
draw-off points or accessories, and ascribes relevant system elements to appropriate room zones
450 .
Due to the possibility of editing data in the table form, the parameters of more than one
simultaneously marked picture elements can be established individually.
The function of table columns filling 108 allows fast entering the same data for more than one
system element at once.
Currently edited table item is highlighted in the installation diagram, due to the dynamic linking
mechanism between the picture and the data table.
The program is accompanied with the library of the typical picture fragments (blocks 437 ), such as
storey risers, dwelling system- and manifold elements, and enables fast creation of the installation
diagram. Additionally, the user has the possibility to define practically unlimited number of own
blocks consisting of freely selected picture fragments. Such blocks can be then used 67 in
following projects.
Thanks to the copying 452 function for the freely selected picture elements, it is possible for example
to enter the fragment of the installation diagram onto the whole storey (subsequent risers or
dwelling systems), and then automatically create the diagram and data for the subsequent storeys
125 .
Computes the required domestic hot water circulation system water flows by the thermal
method. This is based on selecting such circulation water flows, by which water cooling on
the way from the heat source to the linking points between hot water and circulation reaches
the required quantity (eg. 5 K).
Selects three-way mixing valves for the domestic hot water system.
Selects heat insulation for the pipes.
the picture,
individual data range (numbers - room symbols, pipes, catalogue symbols 430 , etc.),
pipe-run 446 linking coherence within the system (unlinked pipes, incorrectly linked pipes,
etc.),
accessories location.
The list of detected errors 435 as a result of the data- and calculations results correctness check is
created, where types of errors and their locations are listed.
The program is equipped with the fast error locating mechanism (automatic table location, row and
column with the error data, together with indication of the erroneous item in the installation
diagram).
The contents of all tables can be formatted (choice of shown columns and rows, font size) and
sorted according to freely selected filter 452 .
Tables with calculations results can be printed and moved to other applications functioning in the
Windows environment (eg. spreadsheet, word processor, etc.). Print preview 190 function enables
viewing the pages before printing.
Calculations results as plan views and installation diagrams can also be plotted 196 onto the plotter
or printer. The user can choose the plotting scale. Plot preview 195 function enables to check the
pictures before plotting. Larger pictures are printed or plotted in fragments which then can be
combined into one-piece printout, so even large pictures can be executed with the ordinary A4
printer.

4 Entering data
The program enables both creation of new data, as well as edition of data earlier stored on the disk
with Save data 180 command.
Choose menu File 178 command New data 179 , and the new empty file named noname.h2d will be
created, where the program will assume the series of default quantities to accompany catalogue
data, calculations parameters and printing format. Default data will be stored in the folder
Catalogue Data, file default.h2d, which can be then customized by the user.
Then choose command General 226 menu Data 225 , to call the dialogue Data - General 297 for
entering general data 22 for the whole system under design and calculation parameters 429 .
It is not necessary to number system components for conducting the calculations or viewing the
results, still it is advised if detailed overview of calculations results as printouts is essential. In the
latter case, before continuing the procedure of entering data, a well-thought-out numbering of all the
system components should be considered (see How to number system components 135 ). This will
facilitate entering data process, especially in case of repeatable system structures on successive
building storeys.
The last entering data stage is installation diagram drawing and entering data on system
components 32 , as well as possible storeys plan view drawing 82 , where the calculations results
will be positioned after the computations have been performed.
WARNING!!!
If you lack expertise in entering data (first approach to use the program), we suggest to
design a simple system first, with only a few draw-off points, for practice. This will help
you avoid errors 429 which can significantly prolong and hinder entering data process,
when large systems are under design.

Pipe symbols
Cells in this column are meant for defining pipe types in the system under design.
Pipe catalogue symbols 430 are to be entered, responding to surrogate symbols 446
(A, B, C, D). These pipe symbols are then used in the pipe data table 385 . When
entering pipe catalogue symbols, use help info 439 (button ) available here in form
of the pipe catalogue 334 .
Bottom part of the dialogue holds the table General data - Diameters 395 with detailed info on
available pipe diameters for the pipe selected in the table General data - Pipes (see above).
Avl Selecting this field means that the given diameter will be available when designing
system pipes.
K [mm] Absolute roughness of the internal pipe surface. K value influences pipe linear
pressure loses in case of the turbulent flow. When pipe types are selected, the
program assumes K value recommended for these pipes in operating conditions.
ST [mm] Scale thickness present on the internal pipe surface. The scale effectively
decreases pipe cross-section area. In case when the system is new or the pipes
are plastic, zero scale thickness is to be assumed. In existing installations, the
scale thickness is to be estimated basing on pipe samples.
Vmin [m/s] Minimum water velocity in hot- and cold water pipes.
Vmax [m/s] Maximum water velocity in hot- and cold water pipes.
Rmax [Pa/m]
Maximum unitary linear pressure drop in hot- and cold water pipes.
VmaxCir [m/s]
Maximum water velocity in circulation pipes.
RmaxCir [Pa/m]
Maximum unitary hydraulic resistance in the circulation pipe.
Insulation Default insulation material symbol or percentage insulation efficiency eg. 70%.
WARNING!!!
It is vital that with the efficiency value expressed as a percent,
the sign % is entered. Empty field means no insulation material.
Thins [mm] Insulation thickness. Leave this field empty if you want the program to select
insulation material thickness automatically.
This tab is meant for estimating calculation parameters for the system design. By doing that, it is
possible to influence to some extent the computation process. When creating new data, the
program assumes default values of the calculation parameters.
Estimate calculation flows beyond the heater after DIN - selection field
When selected, this option has the following consequences: when selecting the hot water pipes
beyond the heaters, calculation flows resulting from the sum of standard outflows from the
receivers 449 are not used for calculations, but the maximum standard outflow among the
receivers, supplied from this heater.
Estimate circulation water flux according to the thermal method - selection field
When selected, this option has the following consequences: selection of water flux in the state of
circulation (no hot water draw) is done in the way that each hot water pipes - circulation pipes
connection point (these points should be located possibly close to the farthest receivers, eg. at
the ends of the risers or branches) should be reached by the water of the same temperature,
lower than heat source temperature eg. by 5 K. Default status of this option is on.
Bold lines in the pictures below highlight hot water pipes considered when calculating capacities
in individual variants.

Entering numerical data in the edition field or table cell, it is possible to obtain the access to the
relevant variables list by pressing button or pull-down button .
Pressing will display the variables list dialogue, and selecting the pull-down button will show
the pull-down defined variables list.
Except for drawing data, it is necessary to enter additional information on such picture elements as:
pipe types, accessories, receivers, room data, etc. Still, the data amount has been reduced, as the
program automatically recognizes pipe connections, appliances connections or appliances- and
pipes affiliations to individual rooms. It is not necessary to enter info on eg. pipes exterior
temperature, connections between pipe-runs and receivers, etc. The vertical picture scale is
preserved, so it is not necessary either to provide info on ordinate difference between receivers and
water sources, or the elevation and length of individual pipe-runs. All this information can be
established automatically by the program, basing on the installation diagram drawing.
Installation diagram is created in the special window consisting of the drawing part 453 (two
installation diagram views) meant for drawing the diagram and the storey plan views, together with
the table part 453 for entering data on freshly drawn system components.

The program also enables displaying the calculations results on the storey plan views. In the
bottom part of the window Data - Pictures 371 , there are tabs with pictures available in the project.
Installation diagrams drawings can be ascribed to the tabs, together with storey plan views ,
and pictures not meant for calculating. Button to the left of the tabs is meant for edition of the
pictures list 333 available in the project.
Thanks to the function of connecting system fragments, it is possible to draw the installation
diagram on the arbitrary number of pictures, which enables to design systems of the practically
unlimited dimensions.
Designing the system requires drawing its diagram only. Plan view drawing is not necessary.
Installation diagram drawing has been described below. Plan view drawing is to be found in the
point Storeys plan views drawing. 82
Each picture view is calibrated 445 independently, this allows to see simultaneously the complete
picture and its selected fragment, and increases the drawing precision with the parallel preview of
the whole installation diagram.
Proportions of individual window elements can be freely changed, eg. in order to see only the
drawing part of the window, the table part only, or the table part with one picture view.
In the main program window 448 top part, drawing functions toolbar 434 is to be found. It contains
several buttons for drawing individual system elements. Buttons are located on a few tabs arranged
thematically (see Drawing functions toolbar 126 ).
Drawing means basically selecting the appropriate button and executing the element ascribed to it.
You can also use the functions of moving, rotating, mirror reflection, grouping, copying, pasting and
deleting individual picture elements. Practically all possible system schemes can be executed
thanks to these functions and the vast library of picture items.
Table part 453 enables to edit comfortably data on system components selected in the picture. Each
selected component is described in one table line. The program automatically displays the
appropriate table depending on the highlighted element. Eg. it is possible to highlight a few
receivers in the picture and then change their individual features in the table. The function of filling
entire table columns 108 facilitates entering repeatable data for many system components.
Table data is dynamically linked with the installation diagram drawing. While entering table data, the
program automatically points the picture fragment with the element being edited, and additionally
modifies its color, so that it is distinguishable from the others. This enables recognizing, which
picture element is being currently edited, while modifying large data groups.
The tables are equipped with the functions of search and replace to facilitate data changes for
entire groups of system elements. Eg. to change accessories type in the whole project or only
selected installation diagram element, it is enough to highlight the relevant picture fragment, choose
accessories table tab in the table part, and then apply the function of exchanging the previous
accessories symbol with a new one.
The function of sorting table contents 107 with calculations data facilitates data entering process.
While editing the data in tables, it is possible to enter the program into the protection mode against
accidental moving of the already drawn installation diagram elements, using the button Editing
elements data positioned in the left part of the drawing functions toolbar 434 .
The most commonly used commands (copying 200 , pasting 200 , deleting 201 , calibration) have
shortcuts, and can be executed quickly. The commands are also available in the pop-up menu 447
displayed after pressing the mouse right-hand key.
Before you start drawing the installation diagram, it is advised to familiarize with drawing graphic
elements: basics of creating and editing 110 , and find out how to number system components 135 .
This should minimize the numbers of committed mistakes and help you use the program functions
effectively.
The subpoints below describe the subsequent stages of the installation diagram drawing process
and entering data on individual system components.

Enter ordinates Option field, deciding whether to position floor ordinates or not.
Bottom part table will establish individually how thick the floors- and how high the storeys are.
Storey Storey number always counted from the bottom (starting from 1).
When pasting the complete floor system, establish the small picture view scale 445 (eg. 10%), so
that the whole space for the floors to be inserted is available.
You can select the floor system preview scale with the Picture calibrating button 442 .
Highlighting the field Auto calibration will cause the program to select the floor system preview
scale automatically, so that all floors are visible.
You can freely modify each of the floors after you have entered them.
Individual floors should show ordinates. You can enter them with two buttons in the Construction
tab.
Selecting the button Reference ordinate , you will enter the ordinate defining the beginning of
the coordinate system onto the picture (point 0:0). Then the coordinates of other ordinates and the
horizontal and vertical rulers in the picture view will be automatically matched to the new beginning
of the coordinate system.
WARNING !!!
Only one reference ordinate can be entered in the picture.
Normal ordinate will be entered when the button Ordinate is selected. Ordinate value is
automatically recalculated referring to the reference ordinate.

Created floors are the reference points for drawing other components of the installation diagram,
they also enable using later the function of copying data onto next storeys 125 .
The next stage will be drawing receivers 449 , pipe systems with the accessories 428 , room zones 450
and system components labels 452 .
While drawing, you can also enter individual components into the picture (pipes, receivers,
accessories, etc.), or use the ready blocks 437 available with the program or created independently
68 .
In the subsequent points you will find at first information on how to draw the system constructing it

Tab Pipes
Similarly to the buttons form the Receivers and equipment tab, also the pipe pull-down buttons
can be ascribed with the specific pipe types.
The first is based on drawing each pipe segment separately by mouse-clicking the both ends of
the pipe being currently drawn.
The second enables drawing the pipes as a broken line. To enter or leave this pipe drawing
mode, click the button Paint pipes as broken lines from the bottom right corner of the
window with the picture.
In case of drawing the pipes as broken lines, clicking the right mouse button stops drawing the
subsequent pipe segment. The program then stays on the pipe drawing mode, which facilitates re-
commencing drawing successive pipes in the different position in the picture.
While drawing, the program automatically connects pipes with one another and with the other
system components (receivers 449 , water sources 455 , heat sources 439 , manifolds, etc.). In the
connection point the white rectangle appears. Lacking rectangle means that the connection has not
been executed, in this case mouse-click on the unconnected pipe.
If still the connection cannot be executed, it is impossible to perform. Such situations happen
frequently when trying to connect the hot- and cold water pipes, or connecting the subsequent cold
(or hot) water pipe to the receiver already equipped with its relevant pipe.
Some appliances have several "hot spots" where the connection should be executed. To connect
the pipe with the appliance, it is enough to approach its end towards the area of the intended link.
The program will automatically match the appropriate connecting point. The appliance type
influences the number and location of the "hot spots". Still, if a pipe has already been connected to
an appliance, linking another pipe is usually impossible.
The program displays the water flow direction in the pipe-runs with directed arrows. While drawing
the installation diagram, the direction is totally random (not necessarily correct), and should not be
intervened with at this stage. The proper direction will be established and displayed after the
calculations have been performed.
The program has been equipped with the pipe linking aid function. If the end of the pipe being drawn
or moved is positioned nearby the pipe or appliance, the connection will be automatically executed.
This function can be switched off, however. To do so, select the command Drawing properties 213
in the menu View 206 or the pop-up menu 447 , and in the displayed dialogue 309 switch off the option
WARNING!!!
The program does not enable drawing the ring systems or the systems supplied from
several water sources.

Type Info on pipe type. CW - cold water, HW - hot water, CIR - circulation. A read-only
field.
Pipes Surrogate pipe type symbol 446 (A, B, C, D...) for the pipe-run. Pipe types under the
surrogate symbols are established by calling the dialogue Data - General 297 with
Riser Riser number (symbol) 450 for the pipe-run. The riser number info need not be
entered, as the program will graphically read the connections for the pipe-runs and
other system components. Still, the lack of the numbers considerably hinders the
calculations results displayed in the table form.
Item no. Pipe-run number (symbol) within 446 the riser. As before, this column may remain
empty.
dnom Pipe-run nominal diameter, [mm]. Leave this field empty or enter 0 if you want the
program to select the pipe-run diameter automatically. The diameter can be
entered only after completing the pipe types in the column Type. Use help info 439
in form of the list of available diameters when entering the diameter.
Insulation Pipe insulating material symbol. Enter '-' if the pipe is uninsulated.
Instead of the insulating material symbol, you can enter the insulation efficiency in
percent, eg.: 0% if the pipe is uninsulated, or 95% if the pipe is insulated almost
perfectly. The insulation efficiency for the pipes in unheated rooms should not
amount to less than 75 %.
Leave this field empty if you want the program to select the default pipe insulating
material automatically. Default materials info is entered in general data 22 . Button
calls the isolation catalogue.
Thins Insulating material thickness, [mm]. Leave this field empty if you want the program
to select the pipe insulating material thickness automatically.
L Pipe-run length, [m]. As the program retains the vertical scale in the installation
diagram, in case of the vertical pipe-runs this cell may remain empty (the program
will automatically establish its length and display it as: >2.50<). For the horizontal
pipe-runs, if they have been drawn scale-less in the installation diagram (frequently
it is impossible to draw the diagram retaining the horizontal scale), enter their
length here. If you forget about entering the pipe lengths when drawing the
horizontal pipes, while calculating, the program will assume the length of these
pipes basing on the picture. When the calculations have been completed, you will
find the relevant warning messages in the error list 162 . The program will not warn
against the lack of the horizontal pipes length whose length, as read from the
picture, does not exceed 25 cm (it is assumed that they have been drawn retaining
the horizontal scale).
Room Room symbol 450 for the pipe-run. Thanks to applying the concept of the room
zones 450 in the installation diagram, the program will automatically recognize
where the pipes are positioned, and consequently, usually you may leave this field
empty. Still, it sometimes happens that the room zones cannot be drawn in the
way allowing automatic ascribing of the pipes to the rooms, or you wish that the
pipe-run leads through other rooms than the picture shows. Then enter the
relevant room number in the field Room.
WARNING !!!
Branch Branch type. If the real pipe branch is different from the one drawn, enter the
symbol of the relevant branch. With the typical riser- and receiver 449 departure, the
program will recognize the branch type automatically, and then the field may
remain empty. Still, if the branch scheme in the picture does not fully agree with
the actual pipe connection, enforce the branch type here. The following options are
available:
E/B The fitting assumed for changing pipe direction in the picture. Select the fitting
type: BEND - bends, ELB - elbows. The program will automatically recognize the
pipe-runs direction changes, and will select bends here as default. If the elbows
are to be entered instead of the bends, enter the symbol ELB here. In other cases,
this field may remain empty.
WARNING!!!
The bends or elbows invisible in the installation diagram need to be
entered additionally into the picture, by selecting the relevant fittings from
the tab Pipes in the drawing functions toolbar 434 .
Status Info on whether the pipe-run is already existing (black color) or newly designed
(green color).
The program does not number the pipe-runs automatically, but thanks to the useful functions
of picture fragments copying 452 it is able to keep automatically the numbering style imposed by the
designer. Clear numbering of the system components is obtained this way. Before you start
entering data, try to foresee the proper pipe system numbering 136 .
If it is necessary to draw the system fragment in another position or another picture (another tab),
use remote pipe linking within the picture 450 to connect this part with the rest of the installation
diagram (button ).
While drawing remote pipes connections, remember that their ends can be linked with free pipe
ends only, or leave the apartment manifolds.
Below you will find some examples of the incorrectly drawn remote pipes links.
If it is necessary to draw the system fragment in another picture, use the Remote pipe linking
between the pictures 450 (button ).

of the system being drawn is located.
Table part of the window Data - Pictures 371 with the table for entering data on remote pipe linking
Pict. name Name of the picture where the remote system part pipes are positioned (according
to the distance from the water source). The empty field means connecting the
pipes form the current picture.
Remote pipe linking between the pictures consists of two point groups. The first is base points
nearby the water- or heat source in case of the circulation pipes. The other is remote points, where
the distant (relative to the source) system part is positioned. The arrows on points show the water
flow direction.
After inserting onto the installation diagram drawing, in the remote points linking, both base- and
remote points are visible (linking within the same picture). In this case, you can freely move both
base- and remote points horizontally and vertically (corresponding points will be moved
simultaneously).
When in the table Data - Remote pipe linking 391 in the column Picture name such a name is
entered for the picture where the remote system part is positioned, remote points will be moved
onto this picture.
WARNING!!!
Double mouse-clicking on the remote pipe linking symbol, you can easily enter the
picture containing this system part which is linked with the second remote pipe linking
end.
In this case, base points can still be moved horizontally and vertically, still their position change will
mean the identical corresponding change of remote points positioned in the other picture. Remote
points positioned in the other picture can be moved only horizontally. Such solution ensures that
remote points positioned in the other picture will remain at the same level (retain the same
ordinates) as base points.
Several variants of remote pipe linking between the pictures are available.

The functions differ from the regular copy- and paste functions by the means of the possibilities to
renumber the rooms or pipe-runs, adjust the copied fragment to the floor height, and if necessary
prolong pipe fragments, so as to connect the newly created installation diagram fragment with its
original part.
Any picture fragment can be copied, still it should fit within one storey. The detailed rules of copying
have been described in the points Copying data and picture onto next storey 125 and Horizontal
copying data and pictures 124 .
Assuming that floors have already been drawn, the system picture can be performed as follows,
using ready blocks and copying functions:
1 Select the tab Copying and blocks in the drawing functions toolbar 434 , and then the
button Blocks set 1.
2 In the displayed dialogue, select the appropriate block and paste it into the picture, remembering
to position the horizontal room zones 450 edges in the ceilings axes.
4 With the button Copy right copy the ready picture fragment the required number of times.
5 Perform necessary modifications if there are any differences in the subsequent risers.
Only a few minutes will be enough to create the repeatable system, consisting of even a couple of
hundreds receivers and equipment pieces. Naturally, the full repeatability is rarely encountered, and
then required modifications need to be entered.

Tab Graphics
In the program Audytor H2O, as in other CAD applications, the layer 444 concept has been utilized.
Graphic items from Graphics tab can be positioned in the standard "0" symbol layer, or any
layer created by the user 455 . All other picture elements are fixed to their default layers 433 . Selecting
the layer for positioning the tab elements is done with the pull-down list on the right hand-side of it.
A good example of using the graphic tab elements is drawing the table.
This is commenced with the creation of the new layer where the table will be entered. To do so, in
the tab Graphics select the button Picture layers format .
The dialogue Picture layers 324 for edition purposes will be displayed on the screen.
Table
In the subsequent table columns the following information is to be found:
Filling color The color of the filling for the items positioned in the layer.
Vis. Option field informing whether the layer is to be visible in the picture.
Print. Option field informing whether the layer is accessible for printing.
WARNING!!!
Freezing the layer means that its graphic elements are
inaccessible for modification. This can be the cause of problems
if you happen to forget about changing the layer status and try to
modify the elements. Always check that possibility before
contacting the helpline.
User Info on whether the layer has been defined by the user.
If the calculations data layers are under modification, the following buttons are additionally available
in the dialogue:
Buttons
Removing the selected layer from the list. Only the user defined layers 455 can be
deleted, the default picture layers 433 will not be removed.
WARNING!!!
Removing the layer means naturally deleting all the graphic elements available in this
layer. The delete operation is not to be undone.
Move layers up- or down. The layers order will influence the chronology of drawing
the elements, the layers are drawn according to their table order. The last layer
elements will be drawn as the last, this is important when the elements from
different layers overlap.
WARNING!!!
Only the user defined layers can be moved.
In the displayed dialogue, select the button to create the new table layer. This layer will
be automatically added to the layer table, with the standard name New layer 1. The name should
be changed, let's choose the better one, eg. Table. Now add the remaining layer parameters, such
as the line style, thickness and color, filling color, etc.
The dialogue Picture layers with the added Table layer has been shown below. It has been
assumed that the table layer will be drawn with the solid black line, 1-point thick, the texts will be
written with the bold italic Arial font size 12.
When the parameters have been established, close the dialogue with the button , and
the new layer has been added to the picture. Now it needs to be selected as the current layer 432 ,
with the pull-down list in the tab Graphics.
When this action has been performed, all the elements form the Graphics tab will be entered onto
the layer Table.
To draw table frames, use the rectangles, lines, etc., or other elements from the Graphics table, in
order to create eg. the company's logo. When drawing graphic elements, the table part 453 of the
window Data - Pictures 371 will display the table Data - Graphics 381 , where the appearance of
graphic elements being drawn can be modified.

In the bottom part of the window Data - Pictures 371 , there are tabs with pictures available in the
project.
Available graphic measures are installation diagrams, plan view and pictures (ie. rough drawings,
schematic diagrams, etc.). Button on the left hand-side of the tabs will edit the picture list in the
project, it will display the dialogue Pictures list 333 .
Buttons on the list left hand-side will add and delete pictures from the project, and change their
order. Bottom right hand-side part edition field will change the name of the picture selected in the
list.
Moving the tabs can be also used for the management of the project pictures list.
Fast modification of the pictures names, adding and deleting can also be performed with the pop-
up menu 447 obtained by pressing the right mouse key over the pictures tabs.
The program Audytor H2O facilitates design, however it has not been equipped with the graphic
functions for creating the underlays. Naturally, it is possible to utilize for this purpose graphic
elements available in the drawing functions toolbar in the tab Graphics . In this way, you can
create your own blocks 441 with typical building components (eg. windows, doors), still the time
needed for drawing the entire project this way will be relatively long.
Optimally, the designer should have the underlay available in the electronic version (as a file 436 ).
Then it could be easily inserted from a file 90 . If the underlay is accessible as the "paper version"
only, it will be advisable to scan 90 it.
Pictures can also be moved 93 from other programs using the clipboard 430 . The preferred graphic
format 437 - because of the pictures quality and size - is EMF 435 , optionally WMF 456 .
The methodology of preparing underlays has been described in detail in Entering underlays into the
project 89 .
To start drawing system components on storey plan views, first choose the tab of one of the
pictures meant for the plan views (picture icon ).
Exemplary situation of drawing on the underlay read from the file has been described below.
At first, prepare the layer where the underlay will be entered. To do so, in menu Data 225 select the
command Picture layers format 232 . In the displayed dialogue Picture layers 324 , press the button
Add to obtain a new layer, which then should be named, eg. Underlays.
WARNING !!!
Position the layer meant for underlays at the very top if the layer list in the project.
Otherwise - while printing and refreshing the screen - the picture components placed
on the earlier layer may be covered by the underlays.
After the new layer has been created, mark it as active by selecting such an option in the drawing
functions toolbar (tab Graphics ).
Drawing functions toolbar, tab Graphics with the selected active layer Underlays
To load underlays from files, use the pull-down button 448 Insert picture from the drawing
functions toolbar 434 .
The program accepts pictures in most commonly encountered vector formats 455 (WMF 456 , EMF
435 , DXF 435 , DWG 435 ), as well as the raster 449 ones (BMP 429 , JPG 439 , JPEG, TIF 454 , TIFF, GIF
437 , ICO, PNG).
DXF and DWG-format pictures are automatically calibrated while loading, but other pictures need
the calibration to be performed after loading. This action has been described in detail in the point
Levelling, calibrating, cropping 94 .
When the underlay is ready, you can start entering system components by selecting the tab Plan
views in the drawing functions toolbar 434 . There you will find all the system components to
be drawn in the plan views.
On storey plan views you can enter pipes, water sources, heat sources, receivers, equipment,
accessories, appliances and labels. In case of water sources, heat sources, receivers, equipment,
accessories or appliances, there are suitable pull-down buttons to select individual component
type.
WARNING !!!
Pictures with storey plan views are only to be used for displaying the calculations
results. The program will not control the correctness of connections for pipes drawn in
plan views, will not read their length form the view, or check the correctness of the
accessories positioning. All data of this sort must be entered into the installation
diagram.
The order of drawing for individual components of the system is arbitrary. It is advised, though, to
start with drawing the equipment and then receivers. The following step can be drawing pipes and
accessories. As the last step, labels should be attached to components.
Drawing components on views of subsequent storeys can be facilitated by the use of painting the
previous picture option, activated with the button , positioned in the bottom right corner of the
picture window 371 .
Thanks to this option, while drawing you can see the picture of the previous storey as through the
"tracing paper", which facilitates positioning of analogous appliances on the view currently being
drawn. The visibility of the previous picture elements can be modified in the dialogue Drawing
properties 309 (edition field Previous picture grey level), called from the menu View 206 with the
command Drawing properties 213 .
Remember to switch off the painting function when you finish drawing plan views with many
components, as it slows down the drawing process considerably (two pictures must be prepared
at once).
WARNING!!!
Do not draw the components from the tab Plan views on the installation diagram. Also,
do not draw the items from the remaining tabs (except for the Graphics tab) on the
storey plan views.
The text Not linked appears on the labels linked to the system components drawn on the plan
view. This text informs that the item drawn on the view has not been connected (does not
recognize its equivalent) with the corresponding element on the installation diagram.
1 In the drawing functions toolbar 434 select the tab Plan views , and then - using the button
Connect the installation diagram with the plan view switch the program into the
corresponding linking mode.
2 In the drawing part of the system picture window, display the diagram and the view of the
pictures next to each other.
Installation diagram- and plan view pictures ready to initiate the connecting procedure.
3 Click the first element of the couple (eg. cold water pipe on the diagram) with the mouse cursor
4 Click the corresponding element on the view, when the cursor takes the following shape
(indicating the second element).
Repeat the above procedure until all labeled system components on the storey plan views are
connected to the corresponding installation diagram items. When linking has been completed, the
items on the view will be described with labels analogous to the ones on the diagram.
While connecting diagram elements with the ones of the view, remember to keep the type
conformity. You will not connect eg. the receiver from the diagram with the pipe from the view. The
specific diagram element is System component info which can be connected to any system
component from the diagram. Such info can be also accompanied with any picture of an untypical
appliance to be shown on the view (eg. "different receiver"). System component info can be also
connected with the diagram room zone.

from the dialogue Scanning 358 . This will enable eg. automatic resolution selection, and
therefore is recommended.
WARNING!!!
Not all scanner drivers fully comfort with the TWAIN specification 455 , so the
performance of the scanning may depend on the scanner and its driver. To avoid
problems, use the standard scanner interface (marked field "Show the standard
scanner interface"). However, this means that the user personally will have to enter
preferred resolution values into the scanner interface.
5 Enter data on the scanned original and the predicted printout in the section Resolution
selection, and click the button , which will display the selected
resolution. If the field Show the standard scanner interface is marked, this value will have to
be entered manually in the interface.
6 Next select color depth 430 . To save memory, technical drawings should be entered as
"black&white", so this option can be selected already here, before scanning. However, many
correction 100 possibilities will be from then on unavailable, that is why it is recommended
(especially to the advanced users) to scan the pictures in the "greyscale", correct the picture if
necessary, and only then convert it into "black&white" format.
8 Click the button Scan preview, which will display the preview in the window on the right hand-

Available commands
7 If the picture's brightness is inappropriate (too fair or too dark), select the command
Brightness and choose the parameter value from the range –255 to +255. Positive values will
lighten the picture, while the negative ones will darken it. Zero value will not change the
brightness level.
8 To modify the picture's contrast, select the command Contrast and choose the parameter
value from the range 0 to 65000. Value 100 is neutral, not changing the contrast level. Those
above 100 will increase the contrast level, and below 100 will decrease it.
WARNING!!!
Commands Brightness and Contrast will have no effect if the picture format is
"black&white".
All available commands have been described in Picture correction - dialogue 321 .
9 Convert the picture into the "black&white" format if the correction has been completed. To do
so, select the command Black&white (threshold). Three conversion methods exist, but it is
the threshold method which seems to be the most suitable for technical drawings. All pixels
fairer than the given threshold value will be assumed as white, and those darker - as black.
10 Initially, the threshold value will be assumed automatically, you can change it with the buttons
though, simultaneously observing the picture's sample. In this way, the optimal threshold value
can be established, so that the picture is clear and does not contain any optical disturbances.
Below, you will find three pictures acquired in the result of applying three example threshold
values. In the first case, the threshold value has obviously been too low. It is relatively clear, still
the lines are dash. The second picture - obtained for the middle threshold value level - is legible.
In the last picture the threshold value has been set as too high, and the picture is illegible.
Adding the subsequent command, you create the picture correction scheme 445 . You can use
this scheme to correct next pictures.
11 After the entire correction scheme has been completed, click the button and wait,
until the program corrects the whole picture (this can take even several minutes, depending on
its size and the number of commands selected).

The table consists of several cells arranged as columns and rows. The cells in subsequent
columns have got specific length (for specific number of characters), there you will enter the
necessary quantities (eg. the pipe length, the receiver symbol, etc.) In the table heading 454 there
are symbols informing what should be entered into individual columns.
Some of the column headers contain texts written in green font. In this case, the cells can often be
left empty and then the program will assume relevant values for them when performing the
calculations. It is however important to ensure if the automatically assumed value is correct, in
order to avoid possible errors.
Entering data means appropriate filling of individual table cells. Data entered into individual cells is
simultaneously checked. In case the error is detected, the program displays the warning message
about the cause and type of this error. In most cases, it also prohibits entering the next table cell.
The value entered wrongly should be corrected, or the cell completely emptied, then it will be

The first is the drawing mode 435 (it is switched on as a default immediately after the window has
been displayed). It enables drawing, moving and deleting the elements in the drawing part of the
window 453 , as well as edition of data on selected picture components in the table part of the
window 453 .
The second mode is the mode for edition data on the selected elements 431 . This one will enable
highlighting the elements 115 (without the possibility to move them, delete or modify their
appearance) in the drawing part of the window 453 , as well as edition of data on the highlighted
picture's elements in the table part of the window 453 . Thanks to this solution, it will be possible to
enter data without the possible displacement of the components under modification.
Use the buttons in the drawing functions toolbar 434 to select the window's mode.

While creating data on the rooms being copied, the program will increase (when copying to the
right) or decrease (copying to the left) room numbers. For instance, if the rooms selected for
copying are number 10, 11, 12 then, as a result of copying to the right, rooms with numbers 13, 14,
15 will be created, and - when copying to the left - room numbers 9,8,7. Similarly, riser numbers
within pipe-run numbers are renumbered. Thus, these commands should be applied for copying
within one storey only, as in other cases the numbering obtained will not be correct. Still, when the
numbers for the pipes- and pipe-runs to be copied have not been entered, horizontal copying of
data onto several storeys is not limited.
Before copying operation is commenced, attempt to enter all repeatable data on the accessories,
receivers, equipment, rooms and pipes to be copied. This action should facilitate entering info on
these components.
It is also recommended that the components to be copied are positioned at least partially in the
room zones 450 .
1 In the drawing functions toolbar 434 select the button to enter the program in the point and
select 431 mode.
2. With the mouse cursor highlight components 112 to be copied horizontally. Remember to select
the elements within single storeys only, to avoid problems with numbering of rooms and pipe-
runs. Not all components in the storey need to be selected.
3. Select the command Copy left 205 or Copy right 205 from the Edit 198 menu. These commands
can also be called with the buttons Copy left and Copy right from the drawing
functions toolbar 434 in the tab Copying and blocks .
While copying horizontally, the program will automatically lengthen the horizontal pipes, so that they
connect the nearby pipes.
Only those horizontal pipes are lengthened whose free end (with no connection) is positioned on
the edge or beyond the room zone 450 .
There is no limit for the number of components from the same storey that can be copied.
To facilitate entering data for a few repeatable systems, eg. apartments, draw the repeatable
apartment's fragment for one storey (ground-floor recommended), highlight data on the entire
apartment, and execute commands for copying left- or right. The necessary modifications can be
then entered.
commands: Next storey 205 , Copying data and the picture onto the next storey 125

graphic elements: basics of creating and editing 110 - overview
While creating data on the next storey rooms, the program will increase room numbers with 100 or
1000, depending on the numbering scheme established with the menu Parameters 247 (dialogue
Program parameters 346 tab Numbering). The same renumbering rules are valid for pipe-runs.
Before copying onto the next storey, draw the floor system 36 , and the program will adjust the
system components location to the height of individual storeys.
Also, attempt to enter all repeatable data on the accessories, receivers, equipment, rooms and
pipes to be copied. This action should facilitate entering info on these components.
1 In the drawing functions toolbar 434 select the button to enter the program in the point and
select 431 mode.
2 With the mouse cursor, highlight components 112 to be copied onto the next storey.Remember
to select the elements within single storeys only, to avoid problems. Not all components in the
storey need to be selected.
3 Select the command Next storey 205 from the Edit 198 menu, or with the button Next storey
from the drawing functions toolbar 434 in the tab Copying and blocks .
While copying onto the next storey, the program will automatically adjust the height of the room
zones to the storey's height, and lengthen the vertical pipes, so that they connect the pipes from
the storey below.
Only those vertical pipes are lengthened whose free end (with no connection) is positioned in- or
below the axis of the bottom floor, or with no floors, on- or below the bottom edge of the room zone
450 .
There is no limit for the number of components from the same storey can be copied vertically.
To facilitate entering data for a few repeatable systems, eg. apartments, draw their repeatable
fragments for one storey (ground-floor recommended) - here you can use horizontal copying 124
functions, highlight data on the entire apartment, and execute commands for copying to the next
storey. The necessary modifications can be then entered.

Identifiers of system components do not consist only of numbers but also of letters, therefore
sometimes they are referred to as symbols.
1 Each distributing pipes 434 system pipe-run 446 should have the original number (symbol) 446 ,
and the cold-, hot water and circulation pipes are considered separately, which means that
those can have the same numbers (symbols). The program does not require the user to
number pipe-runs, as the information about possible pipe- and other element connections are
found from the picture, still numbering pipe-runs will clarify the calculations results in the table
form.
2 Each water source should have its own unique number (symbol) 450 .
3 Each heat source should have its own unique number (symbol) 450 .
4 Each receiver or equipment piece should have their own unique number (symbol) 450 .
6 Each room should have its own unique number (symbol) 450 . In the installation diagram, the
same room - as the element of the picture - can occur in more than one place, still it always
refers to the same data set.
Number the system components reasonably, so as to effectively apply the tools facilitating entering
data, available in menu Edit 198 .
It is recommended to increase the numbers with 100 or 1000 (if the amount of rooms on one storey
exceeds 100) for the subsequent storeys. So, the ground floor rooms will have the numbers 1, 2, 3,
etc., the first floor rooms - 101, 102, 103, etc., the second floor rooms - 201, 202, 203, etc.
If the room scheme for the subsequent storeys is the same, use this information when numbering.
For instance, if there are the same or similar rooms on the following storeys, number them as 101 -
ground floor, 101 - first floor, 201 - second floor, etc.
This method of room numbering will facilitate creation data for next storeys with command Next
storey 205 .

Rooms numbering 136 , Pipe systems numbering 136 , Water- and heat sources, Draw-off points-
and equipment numbering 136
As with rooms, it is recommended to increase the pipe-runs numbers (symbols) with 100 or 1000
for the subsequent storeys.
When numbering horizontal pipe systems supplying water to risers, you may assume the S
(supply) letter as the riser symbol.

The program performs full hydraulic- and heat calculations for systems.
The calculation process consists of several stages, after which the program repeats check of
errors that would make further calculations impossible. If this situation occurs, the process is
stopped. Info on errors 429 will be stored in detected errors file 429 .
If errors are detected, after completing the calculations, the program will display the relevant info
message and show the window with the detected errors list 373 (see Detecting and removing errors
139 ).
To perform calculations basing on the current data 432 , select the command Calculations 234 . While
calculating, the program considers calculation parameters 429 established in the project general
data 22 (menu Data 225 command General 226 ).
Dialogue Calculations
Establishing hydraulic resistance in individual system circuits and preset selection for governing
accessories 437 .
To view the calculations results and the detected errors list 373 use the commands from menu
Results 234 .
See also: menu Calculations 234 , menu Data 225 , menu Results 234
There you will find the complete info messages set, starting from the incomplete data message or
wrong data structure message, to finish with messages of any case when the complete system
design is not possible.
Treat the error list as the diagnostics tool to estimate the project quality. Often it is even not
possible to design the system without any error messages, still it is recommended to minimize the
number of serious errors, and assess their influence on the system functioning. It is the designer
who takes the full responsibility for the error messages evaluation and interpretation.
To facilitate interpretation, with the message numbers you will find small colored squares informing
of the error importance. The color code has the following meaning:
Error list 373 window has been equipped with the function of positioning errors. When this function
has been executed, the program will highlight the relevant fragment of the picture and display the
data table, marking the cell referring to the error that has been found. You can execute this function
either by mouse-selecting and left mouse key double-clicking the error message, or by keyboard
selection of this message in the error list window.
Searching the causes for errors, remember that the program will not locate them precisely in every
case. In some more complicated situations, treat the function described above only as the rough
error indicator.

This command will save the current picture on the disc as DXF 435 or DWG 435 format file. Such
files can be then opened by any program recognizing this format (eg. AutoCAD).
Selecting this command will display the dialogue Save as DXF or DWG 356 where you will enter the
file name for the picture.
Individual elements of this dialogue have analogous functions as in the dialogue Save data 357 . In
the field Save as file type you can select between DXF 435 and DWG 435 file types, still if the
complete name with the extension is entered, this extension will decide about the resulting file
format, regardless which format has been selected in the field Save as file type.
WARNING!!!
Precise dialogue layout will depend on the operation system installed on the computer
you are currently working with.
If the window Data - Pictures 371 is active or no calculations have been performed (no results
available), the picture with calculations data will be saved, otherwise it will be the calculations
results picture.
The created file contains info on the picture layers 444 structure. While using the file in another
program, layers will be then still operational (switched on- and off, ascribed appropriate colors,
styles and line thickness).
While the file is being created, each program layer is made equivalent to two file layers. The first
layer includes lines, and its name is identical to its program name in Audytor H2O, preceded with
the text H20_. The second contains fillings, and its name is preceded with the text F_H20_.
As a default, filling layers are set as "off" in DXF or DWG files. So are those picture layers which
have not been selected as printable.
Use the command Picture layers format 232 called from menu Data 225 and menu Results 234 to
establish which layers are printable (so set as "on" in DXF or DWG files).
Graphic symbols for most of system components are saved as blocks, and this facilitates their
further edition and modification.
All texts are ascribed with styles of the names analogous to the ones of the layers they are located
in, which will facilitate font type modification.
If eg. underlays in DXF or DWG formats have been inserted into the picture currently being saved,
then when saving the picture as DXF or DWG file, those underlays will be stored in separate files,
and then their references will be available in the resulting file.
commands: New data 179 , Open data 179 , Save data 180 , Save data as 181 , Save as DXF or

This command will save the current picture on the disc as EMF 435 (Enhanced Metafiles) or WMF
456 (Windows Metafiles) format file. Such files can be then opened by any program recognizing this
format. However, due to the high level of complexity of such pictures, not all programs will be able
to open then properly.
Selecting this command will display the dialogue Save as EMF or WMF 356 where you will enter the
file name for the picture.
Individual elements of this dialogue have analogous functions as in the dialogue Save data 357 . In
the field Save as file type you can select between EMF 435 and WMF 456 file types, still if the
complete name with the extension is entered, this extension will decide about the resulting file
format, regardless which format has been selected in the field Save as file type.
WARNING!!!
Precise dialogue layout will depend on the operation system installed on the computer
you are currently working with.
If the window Data - Pictures 371 is active or no calculations have been performed (no results
available), the picture with calculations data will be saved, otherwise it will be the calculations
results picture.
WARNING!!!
While creating the EMF or WMF format file, the program will save only those picture's
elements which are positioned on the printable layers 444 . Use the command Picture
layers format 232 called from menu Data 225 or menu Results 234 to establish which picture
layers are printable (so also available in EMF or WMF format files).
To preview the EMF or WMF format file picture, optimally use the plot preview window 376 called
from menu File 178 with the command Plot preview 195 .
WARNING!!!
It is recommended to save files as EMF, as it is acceptable by the majority of
contemporary applications. Use WMF format files only when you are certain that the
target program for this picture will not accept EMF format files.

In this chapter, one example of designing the system has been described.
Example 1 – a multi-family dwelling building system, with central hot water preparation.
Below, the exemplary data entering has been presented, together with calculations performance for
the water system with central hot water preparation.
– maximum water hot water pipes cooling on the way from the heat source to the circulation
pipes connection point: 5 K;
The next step is entering general data on the entire system under design, and calculations
parameters. To do so, select the command General 226 from menu Data 225 , and in the displayed
dialogue enter relevant information.
Dialogue Data - General with basic data on the system under design
Entering general data and calculations parameters have been described in detail in the point
General data 22 .
If for the given building the heat load has been calculated with the program Audytor HL 447 , then now
you can import the room data, by selecting the command Rooms 226 from menu Data 225 . This will
display the dialogue Data - Rooms 308 .
Here, click the button Open new file, to select the Audytor HL program calculation results file.
Room data can naturally also be entered in the displayed dialogue, or while drawing the installation
diagram. As the system being described is repeatable on the subsequent storeys, in this case it is
optimal to enter room data directly into the picture. Then the functions for copying 71 picture's
fragments and data onto the next storey can be applied.
Entering data on rooms has been described in detail in point Room data 29 .
The following step is drawing the installation diagram and entering additional data on individual
system components. Detailed description of subsequent stages of this process has been included
in point Installation diagram drawing and entering data on system components 32 .
Optimally, start drawing from the floors. To do so, select the tab Construction 132 in the
drawing functions toolbar 434 .
Tab Construction
The newly created floor system has been presented in the picture below.
As a default, after entering the floor system into the picture, the reference ordinate 449 (+0.00) is
positioned on the lowest floor (cellar's floor). Here, it has been moved onto the ground floor.
+ 0,00
- 2,60
At this stage, we are starting to draw the typical bathroom and kitchen. This process can be
commenced with drawing sanitary equipment and receivers (see Receivers- and equipment
drawing 39 ).
To draw a washbasin
1 Select the tab Receivers and equipment in the drawing functions toolbar 434 .
3 Select command Edit from the pull-down list. This will open the dialogue Receivers- and
equipment set.
4 From the list Available receivers and equipment copy the based washbasin WASHBASIN
BASE onto the list Selected receivers and equipment, and click the OK button. If no plan
views are planned for drawing, you can select the washbasin without any specific dimensions.
5 Again click and hold the button Washbasins . Select the based washbasin form the pull-
down list.
6 Move the mouse cursor 440 onto the installation diagram. You will observe the shape of the
selected component being moved together with the cursor.
7 Select the location for the component and click the mouse button. This will insert the
washbasin, as presented in the picture below.
+ 0,00
Based washbasin
Now, analogically, you can draw the water faucet. Note that it is enough to approach the faucet to
the washbasin, and the program will automatically recognize the washbasin-faucet connection
point. This enables obtaining a very precise drawing with very little effort.
+ 0,00
In a similar way, you can draw all necessary receivers, sanitary equipment and draw-off points.
While drawing the diagram, it is recommended to leave empty space between individual receivers
and equipment. this will make the picture legible, and ready to place labels 452 for individual
components.
The following step is drawing the pipes system (see Pipes drawing and linking 47 ).
+ 0.00
Vertical dimensions are maintained in the installation diagram, so the program can recognize them
from the picture, and there is no need to enter them manually. However, the horizontal dimensions
are usually not maintained, and you should enter them into the relevant table. The lengths entered
by designers are shown in black color, the ones recognized by the program from the picture - in
green, and >in angle brackets<. Below you will find the picture of the table for entering pipe data.
Ve rtical pipe.
Le ngth read autom atically from the draw ing.
Horizontal pipe.
Le ngth entered by the des igner.
In case when with drawing the horizontal pipes you omit entering their length, while calculating, the
program will assume this data basing on the picture. When calculations have been completed, you
will find relevant warning messages in the error list 162 . The program will not warn, though, about
the omitting of those horizontal pipes whose length, as recognized from the picture, does not
exceed 25 cm (it assumes that they have been drawn maintaining the horizontal scale).
After drawing pipes, enter accessories and labels. Symbol "Cal." on pipe labels means that their
dimensions will be selected by the program.
Then enter the room zone 450 onto the diagram, and the program will be able to ascribe individual
system components to their rooms. See Drawing room zones 63 .

Tab Data
This part of the dialogue is used for entering basic data on the project.
Project location: Where the building with the system under design is located.
Thw mix [°C] Calculation hot water temperature beyond the mixing valves, for hot
domestic water.
Table General data - Pipes 396 is to be found in the middle part of the dialogue, it is used to select
pipes for the system under design. Detailed info on how to enter table data can be found in the
point Entering table data 105 .
Type Surrogate pipe symbol used in the system picture. A read only field.
Pipe symbols
Cells in this column are meant for defining pipe types in the system under design.
Pipe catalogue symbols 430 are to be entered, responding to surrogate symbols 446
(A, B, C, D). These pipe symbols are then used in the pipe data table 385 . When
entering pipe catalogue symbols, use help info 439 (button ) available here in form
of the pipe catalogue 334 .
Bottom part of the dialogue holds the table General data - Diameters 395 with detailed info on
available pipe diameters for the pipe selected in the table General data - Pipes (see above).
Avl Selecting this field means that the given diameter will be available when designing
system pipes.
K [mm] Absolute roughness of the internal pipe surface. K value influences pipe linear
pressure loses in case of the turbulent flow. When pipe types are selected, the
program assumes K value recommended for these pipes in operating conditions.
ST [mm] Scale thickness present on the internal pipe surface. The scale effectively
decreases pipe cross-section area. In case when the system is new or the pipes
are plastic, zero scale thickness is to be assumed. In existing installations, the
scale thickness is to be estimated basing on pipe samples.
Vmin [m/s] Minimum water velocity in hot- and cold water pipes.
Vmax [m/s] Maximum water velocity in hot- and cold water pipes.
Rmax [Pa/m]
Maximum unitary linear pressure drop in hot- and cold water pipes.
VmaxCir [m/s]
Maximum water velocity in circulation pipes.
RmaxCir [Pa/m]
Maximum unitary hydraulic resistance in the circulation pipe.
Insulation Default insulation material symbol or percentage insulation efficiency eg. 70%.
WARNING!!!
It is vital that with the efficiency value expressed as a percent,
the sign % is entered. Empty field means no insulation material.
Thins [mm] Insulation thickness. Leave this field empty if you want the program to select
insulation material thickness automatically.
This tab is meant for estimating calculation parameters for the system design. By doing that, it is
possible to influence to some extent the computation process. When creating new data, the
program assumes default values of the calculation parameters.
Estimate calculation flows beyond the heater after DIN - selection field
When selected, this option has the following consequences: when selecting the hot water pipes
beyond the heaters, calculation flows resulting from the sum of standard outflows from the
receivers 449 are not used for calculations, but the maximum standard outflow among the
receivers, supplied from this heater.
Estimate circulation water flux according to the thermal method - selection field
When selected, this option has the following consequences: selection of water flux in the state of
circulation (no hot water draw) is done in the way that each hot water pipes - circulation pipes
connection point (these points should be located possibly close to the farthest receivers, eg. at
the ends of the risers or branches) should be reached by the water of the same temperature,
lower than heat source temperature eg. by 5 K. Default status of this option is on.
Bold lines in the pictures below highlight hot water pipes considered when calculating capacities
in individual variants.

9.1.55 Scanning
This dialogue will scan pictures 90 .
Dialogue Scanning
Here select the required scanner from those installed in the system.
Marking this field will use the scanner default interface 433 (the same as when scanning with other
programs). Otherwise, the program's own interface will be applied.
WARNING!!!
This program's interface has been designed especially for scanning technical drawings,
so as to maximally facilitate the scanning process for the user. However, not all scanner
drivers fulfill the TWAIN specification in 100%, so the performance of the interface may
depend on the scanner and its driver. In case any problems occur, use the default
scanner interface. Then you will need to move manually the selected resolution value to
the scanner's interface.
Marking this field will display the previously scanned preview when next running the program. This
field will be invisible when the default interface is used.
Resolution selection
This section will select the optimal scanning resolution automatically. Advanced users may
however select resolution on their own.
Original scale Select the original scale from the pull-down list (optionally enter
value). Pull the list down with F1- or button.
Original quality From the list, select the description matching closely that of the
original to be scanned.
Printout scale Select the predicted scale of the program's final printout.
Required printout quality Select the required quality of the program's final printout.
Very good quality will improve the printout's quality even more,
but significantly increase memory consumption as well.
Resolution Here you will notice the selected resolution value. Advanced
users can select this value at their own experience.
In case the field Show default scanner interface is marked, the
field Resolution will change name into Recommended
resolution.
WARNING!!!
The final picture format to be inserted into the program should be however
"black&white", as usually taking even 8 times less memory than "greyscale" pictures,
and 24 times less than "RGB" pictures.
In case the field Show default scanner interface is marked, the field Color depth will change
name into Recommended color depth. This means the necessity of own color depth selection in
default scanner interface 433 .
This field will correct the brightness level. Available values range from -1000 to +1000. Zero means
no brightness correction, whereas positive values will increase- and negative ones - decrease the
brightness level.
Available values range from -1000 to +1000. Zero means no contrast correction, whereas positive
values will increase- and negative ones - decrease the contrast level.
WARNING!!!
The Brightness and Contrast parameters interpretation has been given above
according to TWAIN specification 455 . As not all scanner drivers fulfill this specification in
100%, precise interpretation of above parameters may depend on the scanner and its
driver.
Brightness and contrast correction can also be performed after the picture has been
scanned, with the dialogue Picture processing 321 , so usually it is the zero value which is
to be entered into Brightness and Contrast fields.
Size
Here you will find displayed the predicted memory size necessary for storing the scanned picture.
Memory consumption depends on how big the picture is (highlighted scanning area 451 ), resolution
451 and color depth 430 .
An advanced user can find this info useful when self-selecting color depth and resolution.
Toolbar
Here you will find tools for scan preview- and scanned picture's edition.
Pull-down button Zoom will select the required zoom for the picture's preview.
Tool Zoom+ will enhance (zoom in) the picture currently being watched.
Tool Zoom- will reduce (zoom out) the picture currently being watched.
Tool Zoom – range will select the picture scale, so that the entire picture is visible
in the window.
Tool Zoom – window will highlight the part of the picture to be visible.
After clicking Zoom – dynamic, the user will be able to choose the required
preview scale dynamically, by moving the mouse with the pressed key.
Tool Move picture will move the picture in the window and select the part of the
picture to be visible.
This button calls the dialogue Level, calibrate, crop 326 , for basic picture edition.
This button calls the dialogue Picture processing 321 , for advanced picture edition
100 , among others precise conversion into "black&white" picture format.
Tabs
These tabs will switch the graphic window between two modes: Scan preview and Scanned
picture.
Scan preview Displays the preview where you can highlight scanning area 451 . This
function is unavailable when using the scanner default interface 433 .
Scanned picture Displays the scanned picture, for controlling the scanning correctness
and proper picture edition.

L Pipe-run length, [m]. As the program retains the vertical scale in the installation
diagram, in case of the vertical pipe-runs this cell may remain empty (the program
will automatically establish its length and display it as: >2.50<). For the horizontal
pipe-runs, if they have been drawn scale-less in the installation diagram (frequently
it is impossible to draw the diagram retaining the horizontal scale), enter their
length here. If you forget about entering the pipe lengths when drawing the
horizontal pipes, while calculating, the program will assume the length of these
pipes basing on the picture. When the calculations have been completed, you will
find the relevant warning messages in the error list 162 . The program will not warn
against the lack of the horizontal pipes length whose length, as read from the
picture, does not exceed 25 cm (it is assumed that they have been drawn retaining
the horizontal scale).
Room Room symbol 450 for the pipe-run. Thanks to applying the concept of the room
zones 450 in the installation diagram, the program will automatically recognize
where the pipes are positioned, and consequently, usually you may leave this field
empty. Still, it sometimes happens that the room zones cannot be drawn in the
way allowing automatic ascribing of the pipes to the rooms, or you wish that the
pipe-run leads through other rooms than the picture shows. Then enter the
relevant room number in the field Room.
WARNING !!!
Branch Branch type. If the real pipe branch is different from the one drawn, enter the
symbol of the relevant branch. With the typical riser- and receiver 449 departure, the
program will recognize the branch type automatically, and then the field may
remain empty. Still, if the branch scheme in the picture does not fully agree with
the actual pipe connection, enforce the branch type here. The following options are
available:
E/B The fitting assumed for changing pipe direction in the picture. Select the fitting
type: BEND - bends, ELB - elbows. The program will automatically recognize the
pipe-runs direction changes, and will select bends here as default. If the elbows
are to be entered instead of the bends, enter the symbol ELB here. In other cases,
this field may remain empty.
WARNING!!!
The bends or elbows invisible in the installation diagram need to be
entered additionally into the picture, by selecting the relevant fittings from
the tab Pipes in the drawing functions toolbar 434 .

pressure loses in case of the turbulent flow. When pipe types are selected, the
program assumes K value recommended for these pipes in operating conditions.
ST [mm] Scale thickness present on the internal pipe surface. The scale effectively
decreases pipe cross-section area. In case when the system is new or the pipes
are plastic, zero scale thickness is to be assumed. In existing installations, the
scale thickness is to be estimated basing on pipe samples.
Vmin [m/s] Minimum water velocity in hot- and cold water pipes.
Vmax [m/s] Maximum water velocity in hot- and cold water pipes.
Rmax [Pa/m]
Maximum unitary linear pressure drop in hot- and cold water pipes.

A circulation circuit enables water circulation in hot water pipes, consequently prohibiting excessive
water cooling down, in case of no consumption. This will reduce hot water expectancy time.
9.4.16 Clipboard
A clipboard is applied to move data between different components of the same program, or
between different programs. Eg. a picture can be moved fromCorelDRAW to the program Audytor
H2O. The clipboard can accept numbers, texts or pictures.
When inserting clipboard contents into the data table, the correctness control of data being inserted
will be performed. In case of error detection, inserting will be aborted.
Two clipboard types are available in the program. One can be used for storing texts copied from
tables or dialogue text fields, whereas the other is meant for storing copied picture fragments.

Mouse cursor is the graphic indicator (eg. arrow , hourglass ) reflecting the mouse movements
on the screen.
Optical resolution is the true resolution of the scanning process. Higher resolutions are
interpolated. When selecting the latter, you will obtain the mosaic consisting of the required
number of pixels, still the scanning process will proceed with the significantly lower optical
resolution, and the "lacking" pixels are interpolated (as intermediate colors). Such process will
naturally not produce the larger amount of visible details, but only "blurring" the image, and it will
increase the necessary memory volume.
Interpolation example
The interpolation example has been shown in the picture above. The picture obtained is blurred, but
it does not show the large number of details. Interpolation can be sometimes justified for photo
images, it is however not the recommended for technical drawings.
It is therefore recommended that the scanning resolution does not exceed the scanner
optical resolution (which is usually to be found in the scanner manual).
9.4.70 Ordinate
An ordinate is a graphics element for presenting the particular level, eg. of a floor.

Tool Zoom+ will zoom in (enhance) the picture currently being viewed.
Tool Zoom- will zoom out (reduce) the picture currently being viewed.
Tool Zoom – all will select the picture scale, so that the entire picture is visible in
the window.
Tool Zoom – range will establish the picture scale, so that the entire picture area
is visible.
Tool Zoom – window enables the user to highlight the part of the picture to be
visible. After pressing the button, show the required fragment with the mouse.
After clicking the button Zoom – dynamic, the user will dynamically select the
required preview scale by moving the mouse with the button simultaneously
pressed.
Tool Previous scale retrieves the previously applied scale of the picture.

The subject of compression has been described here only informatively. In the program
Audytor H2O, compression is performed automatically and the user will not have to
decide about it.
To form the idea, compression can be explained in the following way: information "100 blue points"
takes less place than the same information given as "1 blue point, 1 blue point, 1 blue point, etc..."
repeated 100 times.
Generally, compression can be lossless and lossy. Lossless compression will later re-create the
original picture without any changes. Lossy compression, however, will not re-create the exact
original, will produce a close copy.
For pictures (eg. technical drawings), lossless compression is usually applied, and for photo
images lossy compression gives very satisfactory results.

In case of the calculations data picture, parameters of individual layers can be modified with the
command Picture layers format 232 , called from menu Data 225 .
In case of the calculations results picture, parameters of individual layers can be modified with the
command Picture layers format 245 , called from menu Results 234 .
The program always creates a default layer set for storing system components (pipes, receivers
449 , equipment 435 , accessories 428 , etc.), and labels 452 for these components. Such layers will not
be deleted, also some of their parameters are unmodifiable. System components are fixed to their
layers, and therefore not movable onto other layers. For instance, hot water pipes are fixed to the
layer of the relevant name Hot water pipes, cold water pipes - Cold water pipes, etc.
It is however possible to add or delete own layers 455 , and insert into them such graphic elements
as: lines, circles, rectangles, text fields and text labels (tab Graphics in the drawing functions
toolbar 434 ). Command Move onto another layer will move the elements mentioned above
onto different user-created layers.
Adding new layers has been described in detail in the point Other graphic elements drawing 72 .

Using the pop-up menu has been described in detail in the point Pop-up menu 268 .
Move the mouse cursor over the menu button, and then click with the left mouse key.
Pull-down buttons have ascribed commands and picture elements. Clicking such a button will
select the command or element currently ascribed to this button.
To modify the command or picture's element ascribed to the button, move the mouse cursor over
the button, and then press and hold the left mouse key. After a while, below the button the list with
available commands or picture's elements will unroll. From this list, as from the ordinary menu,
select the required command or the picture's element.
The list of appliances (eg. washbasins) can be modified with the command Edit . The relevant
dialogue will be then displayed, for editing the list contents.
In the drawing functions toolbar 434 , you will find a series of buttons facilitating access to individual
system components, as well as configuration of appliances sets in the project.
Raster pictures usually require more memory than vector ones. Their quality depends among
others on resolution. The higher the resolution, the better "precision" with which the picture is
stored, but also bigger memory consumption.
Raster pictures are obtained as a result of scanning 90 the "paper original", and can be then used
as underlays 89 .

9.4.95 Receiver
In the program, receivers are draw-off accessories 435 (faucets, taps, hydrants, etc.) and devices
supplied with cold- or hot water (washing machines, dishwashers, shower panels, etc.).
It is recommended to apply the automatic resolution selection, basing on the original- and the final
printout scales, original quality and required final printout quality. Advanced users can however
attempt to determine the resolution manually.
WARNING!!!
In case of using the scanner default interface, select the recommended resolution
manually in the scanner interface.

Graphic representation of the room data. In the installation diagram drawing, a room will be
represented as a rectangle with the attached label 452 .
All installation diagram elements (pipes, receivers, equipment, accessories) inside the room zone
are automatically ascribed to it. Therefore, the program will automatically recognize where
receivers are and where pipes are laid, which will enable automatic water cooling calculations for
hot water- and circulation pipes. You can learn more about room zones here 63 .
The higher the resolution, the more precise the original recreation, but at the same time the larger
necessary memory volume (it is proportional to square resolution value). Eg. a picture scanned
with 300 dpi resolution will take 4 times larger memory than the one of 150 dpi resolution. Selecting
high resolution can cause difficulties with further edition of the picture, or even totally unable
opening. This is especially valid for the computers equipped with relatively small RAM memory.
To avoid confusion with scanning, the program has been equipped with the automatic
selection of the optimal resolution.

In case of technical drawings, vector graphics usually assures better quality with
significantly smaller memory consumption than raster graphics. Large enhancements are
possible and of acceptable quality, unlike in raster pictures.
Vector pictures are usually created with dedicated programs, such as AutoCAD or CorelDraw.
Scanning 90 however will produce raster pictures 449 as results.
