Design and analysis of piping networks

One of basic activities in engineering and plant maintenance is determining of fluid flow in piping networks:

• Pipe sizing for newly designed and re-designed pipe networks 
• Calculation of pressure drop in pipes for existing piping networks
• Calculation of velocity in pipes
• Selection of pumps, fans, control valves and restriction orifices
• Ensuring that all consumers will get the demanded amount of utilities for distribution networks
• Ensuring that all nozzles get desired water flow rate and pressure for fire-protection networks
• Ensuring that the amount of cooling medium for different parts of the plant will be right
• Ensuring that ventilation of the plant will be right

The above tasks can be divided by two major applications:

1. General purpose piping networks
2. Fire-protection networks 

PIPENET Standard is a design and analysis steady state single-phase fluid flow tool for general purpose piping networks.
PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler is a specialized design and analysis steady state single-phase fluid flow tool for fire-protection networks.
PIPENET Transient is analysis software for single-phase transient fluid flow software for general and fire-protection networks, see separate page.
PIPENET is owned and developed by Sunrise Systems, Cambridge, UK. Nor-Par a.s is exclusive distributor of PIPENET in Scandinavia and East Europe.

PIPENET Standard

PIPENET Standard lets you:

• Analyze the performance of existing piping networks or ductworks (for HVAC), especially identify and eliminate problems leading to poor performance of the network, find pressure drops
• Size new pipes and ducts, select pumps or fans. size operating valves and restriction orifices for newly designed and re-designed network

Examples of applications:

• Cooling water systems
• Steam distribution systems
• Process utility distribution systems
• District heating system piping networks
• Heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) systems
• Naval piping (shipbuilding), for example piping systems for tanker ships, 
• Natural gas distribution systems

Features:

• Extensive library of fittings and user-defined fittings, using Crane data
• Powerful pipe sizing capability
• Orifice plates – diameter to be calculated or specified
• Multiple pump scenarios
• Block/Break of pipes to simulate closed valves and burst pipes
• Pumps – sizing of pumps or user-defined vendor’s pump curves
• Pipe schedules – extensive built-in and userdefined
  pipe schedules
• Checking for cavitation, correction for ambient pressure decrease with height, calculation of hydraulic gradients and modeling of leaks
• Control valves – pressure, flow, differential and
  set position
• Variable properties and temperatures
• Choice of pipe or node elevations

PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler

PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler is state-of-art application to design, re-design and analyze the performance of fire-protection network. It is the leading software of this type in Norway and Denmark (the oil countries of Nor-Par's sales area):PIPENET Spray

PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler Module is excellent for hydraulic analysis of firewater systems in compliance with NFPA13, NFPA15 and NFPA16 rules. This
addresses the hydraulic analysis requirements of virtually all national and international standards. Ideal for the design of systems used in critical applications such as offshore platforms, FPSO’s, petrochemical plants, power plants, refineries, ships, and airport hangars.

Applications of PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler module:

• Input – isometric or orthogonal schematic input,
  tabular input including copy and paste from
  spreadsheets
• Underlay – import of drawings for use as
  underlays for schematic drawings
• Output – easy, readable output as tables, or
  display of data and results on the schematic
• Choice of calculation modes – hydraulically most
  remote nozzle, inlet pressure/flowrate
• Orifice plates – diameter to be calculated
  or specified
• Multiple pump scenarios
• Multiple fire scenarios
• Block/Break of pipes to simulate closed valves
  and burst pipes
• Pumps – sizing of pumps or user-defined vendor’s pump curves
• Pipe schedules – built-in and user-defined pipe schedules, lined pipes, multiple pipe schedules in
  one system
• Overboard dump and minimum flow valves
• User defined libraries of pipe schedules, nozzles,
  deluge valves and linings
• Choice of Hazen-Williams and Darcy-Weisbach
  equations
• Choice of pipe or node elevations

Steady state design of fire-protection piping networks may be followed up by a dynamic performance analysis under transient fluid flow conditions, see PIPENET Transient
