Pipes
  • One pipe can represent multiple parallel pipes (useful for tube bundles)
  • Enhanced fittings & losses entry for pipes
  • Insulation can be included on inside of pipe/duct and effect on flow area and heat transfer can be modeled
  • Insulation can now be applied even when there is no heat transfer

Junctions

  • Compressor/fans can be modeled as head rise in addition to pressure rise
  • Compressor/fans can be modeled as fixed head or pressure rise
  • Compressor/fan speed control for suction pressure (discharge pressure still supported)
  • Compressor/fan speed control if pressure is exceeded high or low
  • Compressor/fan special condition open in addition to closed
  • One compressor/fan can represent multiple in parallel or series
  • Can calculate compressor/fan energy usage and cost
  • One-Way Valve split into two junction types - Check Valve and Relief Valve
  • Valves now support Cv vs. percent open (like Control Valves)
  • More advanced control valve logic
  • Junction data can be modified through an Excel file

Solver

  • Fluids can be modeled in multiple loops with heat transfer
  • Heat exchangers can exchange heat with heat exchangers from separate loops which may have the same or a different fluid
  • Internal insulation can be added to a pipe or duct, and reduced flow area and thermal effects (if they are modeled) will be automatically calculated
  • New equation of state feature to model density as a table of curve based on pressure and temperature (similar to the previous enthalpy table)

Workspace

  • By dragging right to left during selection, it selects anything it touches or encompasses
  • Renumber Increment added
  • Shortcut button provides fast access to explanations of shortcut functions
  • Selections can be rotated right or left
  • New window added to show all undefined pipes and junctions and missing properties
  • New Zoom to Fit feature

Model Data

  • Can see data for all scenario direct ancestors on Model Data

Output

  • Can view output for multiple scenarios in Output at same time
  • New Tank Summary
  • Equivalent orifice area/diameter displayed for valves/control valves
  • Heat exchanger secondary fluid outlet temperature and log mean temperature difference displayed for certain models
  • Quick graph of internal pipes results available directly from Output window
  • Specific volume now an output parameter
  • Saturation temperature available for each mixture component
  • Users can print Model Data with output

Graph Results

  • Copy x-y data to clipboard
  • Can plot profile graphs for multiple paths
  • Customize feature for graph colors added
  • Improved compressor/fan vs. system curve generation for series pumps

Visual Report

  • Show the design factors on the Visual Report
  • Can change the font and size for the title, legend, etc., independently
  • More automatic updates of Visual Report added

General

  • Suggest compressor/fan will search user specified database for compressor/fans which can meet operating point
  • Significantly enhanced global editing of pipes and junctions (data now shown in categories)
  • Batch runs for scenarios
  • All printing can go directly to a PDF file
  • In grids, cells that have drop-down capability have a persistent drop down symbol
  • Feature to reorder scenarios in Scenario Manager
  • Initialization and data files now saved to user folders

GSC Module - Optional Add-On

  • Automatically find input parameters to meet specified goals
  • Extend Arrow's control capabilities to include remote sensor control

CST Module - Optional Add-On

  • Obtain cost for entire pipe system (has all cost capabilities of AFT Titan™)
  • Account for non-recurring and recurring costs
  • Obtain non-recurring material and installation costs from RS Means™
