Heat Loss Express
Purpose
The primary objective of Hydronic Explorer 2 is to help you design a heating system that will provide the
required heating comfort for a specific job. The first step towards this goal is to determine the structure’s
heat loss (Btu/hour). Construction, outside temperature, and indoor temperature are significant factors in
this calculation. The second step is selecting the proper boiler and radiation that will compensate for the
heat loss and maintain the indoor temperature at the required level.
Heat Loss Express
The Heat Loss Express screen is your main work area. It is divided into three sections: the menu bar, the
toolbar, and the Data Entry Area. You choose commands from the menu bar or the toolbar, and you enter
room data in the Data Entry Area. This area also displays the heat loss calculations based on your data
and helps you select the proper heating equipment.
