Insulation Part

This section provides a brief overview of the Insulation Part Definition table.

The Insulation Part table allows selection of insulation for ducts.

In Data Setup, this table should be assigned to the Insulation Part item in the resource table of HVAC Discipline Resources with a Specification criteria.

This section describes the customization options of the Insulation Part table.

A typical Insulation Part table is shown below:

V_EquivalentDiameter	V_Shape	V_Width	V_Height	V_CornerRadius	V_MinTemperature	V_MaxTemperature	V_InsulationType	V_InsulationThickness

To customize the table, enter a line in the spreadsheet for each shape attributes and temperature range.

Parameter	Type	Importance	Description
V_EquivalentDiameter	String	Required	Used for filtering
V_Shape	String	Required	Used for filtering
V_Width	Length	Required	Used for filtering
V_Height	Length	Required	Used for filtering
V_CornerRadius	String	Required	Used for filtering
V_MinTemperature	Temperature	Required	Used for filtering
V_MaxTemperature	Temperature	Required	Used for filtering
V_InsulationType	String	Required	Provides information for selection of the correct insulation.
V_InsulationThickness	Length	Required	The thickness for the duct size and temperature range
V_LinearWeight	Length	Optional	Linear weights of insulation (0 if not set)
