MOP
A tool for thermo-hydraulic calculations of heating networks
MOP – A MODULAR SYSTEM FOR THERMO-HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS
MOP is a software tool designed for optimization of the existing – and for designing
new heating networks, based on complex thermo-hydraulical calculations. It serves for
solving various engineering, designing and optimization tasks, including dimensioning
of pipes, pumps, valves, mixing and shunts, and for flow analysis or hydraulic
operational state analysis.
Features of the product include modelling of:
 Water and steam heating networks,
 Complex topological structures
containing multiple loops and many
heat sources,
 Large networks with volume loss
calculations,
 Pumping, regulated valves, mixing,
shunts and closing valves,
 Overall energy balance including heat
losses,
 Superheated and wet steam flow and
steam pipes with steam/condensate
separators,
 Network flow dynamics including
consumption modeling (power, return temperature) using artificial neural
networks.
MOP can be used in a spatial graphical mode for editing and viewing heat networks, or
in a spreadsheet for customized data preparation, processing and reporting. Data
import is possible from various GIS systems. Export is available for wide range of SQL
database systems. The tool can also significantly help with rapid generation of
rectangular calculation schemes.
Based on the current individual modules price list it is possible to build up different
personalized configurations of MOP system licenses for individual clients. Each MOP
license comes with a standard technical support including hot-line, consulting services
and free update to new versions when they are available.
CALCULATION MODULE
Calculation module is the core of the MOP system. It serves for both water and steam
network thermo-hydraulic calculations.

GRAPHICAL INTERFACE – A SPATIAL EDITOR AND RESULT VIEWER
This is a complex aplication designed for editing input MOP data and displaying results
in a spatial view of a heat network.
The graphical interface can be used when spatial information is available or it could
be manually drawn. With the graphical interface, the user can:
 Edit any part of input MOP data
 Create new pipes, nodes, pumps, sources, etc.
 Display and print pressure diagram and pump operation diagrams
 Display MOP result data in a spatial view: Color scales of velocity,
temperatures, pressures etc. can be presented

MOP MODULES
SPREADSHEET FRONT-END
The purpose of this module is encapsulating a heating network model in one file and
control of other modules processing in a spreadsheet application environment.
Every model can be
extended with
custom cascading
calculations,
dependent tables,
charts and reports
according to
customer needs, e.g.
displaying of pump
operation inside a
pressure diagram.
Also, the model
inputs can be
connected to custom
calculations, so a
model can be
extended e.g. by
master formulas of
pressure control etc.
GISIMPORT – AN IMPORT MODULE
This is a widely configurable module for importing input data into MOP. Data can be
taken from GIS or any SQL database supported by ADO.NET (including Odbc and
OleDb). Spatial information can be loaded from OpenGIS WKT, ESRI Shapefile, DXF, or
from vertex coordinates table. This module is useful in all cases where spatial
information and other pipe parameters are managed centrally.
SQLEXPORT – AN EXPORT MODULE
This is a widely configurable module for exporting both input and output MOP data to
any SQL database supported by ADO.NET (including Odbc and OleDb). This module can
be used to reverse transfer pipe parameters back to GIS or generally to any database
store for further processing.

MOP MODULES
SCALAGEN – CREATING A RECTANGULAR SCHEMA
With this MOP module, the user can create standard rectangular schema of modelled
network with custom network elements information.
Input MOP data can be used for creating a schema. If they are extended by custom
hints specifying the direction of individual pipes and modifying the way nodes are
presented, the desired look of whole schema can be achieved.
Schema can be extended by any information available from input and output MOP
data, e.g. velocity or flow in pipes or pressure in nodes etc. When a schema in
Scalagen is already designed and these values changed, the updated schema is a
matter of no more than two clicks.
