Case Study: AECSoft helps district heating customer solve insufficient heat delivery with Datacor AFT Fathom

AECSoft Engineering Software Co. Ltd maps a district heating model in 5 hours with Datacor

The customer, AECSoft Engineering Software Co. Ltd, faced a challenge where some end users of a large district heating project were not receiving enough heat after two years of operation. Vendor Datacor's product, AFT Fathom fluid dynamic simulation software, was used to model the system and diagnose the issue.

Datacor's solution involved using AFT Fathom to quickly build a detailed model of the entire district heating network. The software identified a specific pressure deficiency causing the heat shortage and provided actionable recommendations, including estimating the required booster pump head. This analysis allowed the customer to develop improved and more economical operational plans for the system.
