Fireflow Part 1: Basics

Posted on March 31, 2017 by Susana Macias-Marquez

Fireflows are an integral part of the Hydraulic modeling process and provide a means to calibrate your model.  Fireflow represents the amount of water available in a network for fire protection purposes apart from the amount of water used in … Continue reading →

Using Float Valves as Altitude Valves in InfoWater, H2ONET, or H2OMAP Water

Posted on March 30, 2017 by Patrick Moore

Float valves are one valve type available to use within the InfoWater, H2ONET or H2OMAP Water software that may not be as widely used as more common valve types such as a Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) or a Flow Control Valves … Continue reading →

Introduction to System Curves – Basic Hydraulic Considerations

Posted on January 24, 2017 by Patrick Moore

System curves can be a very powerful tool for an engineer to use when designing a new pump station or evaluating an existing pump station as they allow the engineer to see where the pump will operate along it’s pump … Continue reading →

Throttle Control Valves – A few clarifying notes on their use in InfoWater, H2OMAP, and H2ONET

Posted on August 20, 2015 by Patrick Moore

Throttle control valves are one feature within the software that may or may not get used as much by different modelers as other valve types, but are another tool that in the modeler’s toolbox that can be used. Due to … Continue reading →

Advanced Modeling of Pressure Control Valves within InfoWater

Posted on June 12, 2015 by Susana Macias-Marquez

Why do you need Advanced Valve Control? Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) and Pressure Sustaining Valve (PSV) are widely used in the water models to separate pressure zones and avoid extremely high and low pressures within a water distribution network. As … Continue reading →

Hydrant Curve simulations: How is existing demand at the hydrant considered?

Posted on April 24, 2013 by Toby Bourke

H2OMAP Water, InfoWater and H2ONET all offer the “Hydrant Curve” simulation type. This type of simulation allows you to choose any junction in any scenario at any single time step and develop a hydrant curve to indicate the fire flow … Continue reading →
