EQUILOG Hydraulic Balancing Software
Developed by MAPSEC, EQUILOG is professional software dedicated to the hydraulic balancing of heating, chilled water and domestic hot water systems.
He assists the technicians at every stage of their work: network creation, preparation of operations, data entry for measurements, adjustment of balancing devices, analysis of results and management of completed files.
EQUILOG allows the balancing method to be adapted to the characteristics of each installation and the data actually available on site.
The software is compatible with the various regulating devices found on hydraulic networks, notably regulating tees and balancing valves.
Thanks to an interface designed for field use, EQUILOG gradually guides the operator through their measurement and adjustment operations.
The networks concerned
EQUILOG allows you to work on various types of networks:
- HW: hot water and heating networks; ;
- EG: chilled water and cooling networks; ;
- DHW: domestic hot water recirculating pipework.
Multiple balancing methods in a single software
Every hydraulic system has different characteristics. EQUILOG allows you to choose the most suitable balancing method for the network configuration and available measurements.
Delta T balancing
The Delta T method allows a network to be balanced using measured temperatures.
She accompanies the technician in analysing the return temperatures and in the precise adjustment of the setpoint temperatures.
This method can be used in particular when the theoretical network data rates are not available or are difficult to use.
Single-rate metering
The direct flow method allows each balancing valve to be adjusted in relation to the design flow rate entered in the software.
EQUILOG centralises the measured values and supports the technician in the progressive adjustment of flow rates.
Proportional flow balancing
The proportional flow method makes it possible to analyse and adjust the various components of the network by taking into account their relative position and the distribution of flow rates.
The software guides the operator through the various balancing passes.
Hybrid balancing
The hybrid method combines Delta T and Delta P measurements with a correction of the theoretical flow rate.
It makes it possible to cross-reference thermal and hydraulic information in order to refine the analysis of how the network operates.
Software adapted for EC, EG and DHW networks
Hot water and heating networks – DHW
EQUILOG allows you to carry out measurement and balancing operations on heating and hot water networks.
Depending on the system configuration, the operator can use the Delta T, single flow, proportional flow or hybrid methods.
Chilled water networks - CHW
The software also allows you to work on chilled water and cooling networks.
The measurement and control methods are adapted to the operating characteristics of these installations.
Domestic hot water secondary return circuits – DHW
EQUILOG supports the balancing of domestic hot water looped networks.
The adjustment is carried out using the theoretical flow rates entered into the software. EQUILOG also makes it possible to check the return temperatures against the defined setpoint and to verify the theoretical velocities based on the type and diameter of the pipes.
Integrated support to assist technicians
EQUILOG integrates two levels of assistance designed to facilitate the use of the software and the interpretation of the measurements.
EQUILOG Assistance
EQUILOG Assistance allows the user to obtain explanations regarding:
- the principles of hydraulic balancing; ;
- the various methods available; ;
- the use of the software ;
- the preparation and conduct of operations; ;
- the general interpretation of the measurements.
EQUILOG Diagnostic
EQUILOG Diagnostic analyses project information, the network type, the method used and the recorded measurements.
It helps the technician identify any inconsistencies, interpret network behaviour and guide their additional checks.
The assistance provided does not replace the technician's analysis and decision. It constitutes a tool to help with interpretation and diagnosis.
A comprehensive environment for managing balancing operations
EQUILOG is organised around three complementary interfaces.
Back-Office EQUILOG
The back-office enables the client company to centralise the management of its balancing operations.
It notably allows to:
- create and organise projects; ;
- prepare the interventions; ;
- assign the projects to the operators; ;
- manage users and their access rights; ;
- check the progress of operations ;
- access the balancing valve library; ;
- create one's own references; ;
- consult the files and recorded results.
Each technician has their own operator access to the projects assigned to them.
EQUILOG Balancing software
The EQUILOG Équilibrage software is the interface used by the technician to carry out operations in the field.
It notably allows to:
- select the network type; ;
- choose the balancing method; ;
- design the hydraulic layout of the installation; ;
- enter the equipment specifications; ;
- record the temperature, pressure and flow rate measurements; ;
- follow the different adjustment passes; ;
- calculate and memorise the adjustment positions; ;
- analyse the results ;
- keep a record of the interventions.
EQUILOG Drawing
EQUILOG Dessin makes it possible to create digital schematics of the network directly on a tablet.
The technician can represent the installation architecture, identify the equipment and prepare the file necessary for the balancing operation.
Diagramming facilitates network understanding, measurement preparation, and the traceability of interventions.
The EQUILOG professional case
MAPSEC also offers a professional case containing the equipment required for measurement and balancing operations.
Depending on the configuration chosen, the case can incorporate the instruments required for the Delta T, Delta P and hybrid methods.
It provides the technician with a mobile and organised solution for working on hydraulic networks.
The suitcase and access to the software are two distinct elements.
The customer chooses their hardware and the software access package suited to their usage separately.
