I am having doubts about what this means ! I am led to understand that the horizontal module does not use monthly loads, but merely constructs a "worst case" daily load distribution for the month with the maximum heating load. Is this correct?? Is then the "Unit Inlet Temperature" the absolute minimum fluid temperature during the design day (equivalent to "peak_min" in EED), or is it more akin to an average fluid entry temperature ("Base_min" in EED). Furthermore, if the horizontal module does not use monthly loads, but if the simulation period is set to 1 year...does the programme run these worst case daily loads for a full year's simulation?? If so, then surely it will result in an excessive trench length (because it does not consider the lower load months???).

I understand that it is better, or more accurate, to enter the 4-hour averages of the load throughout the day into the 'Design Day Loads' menu. However, there is a big discrepancy between whether I use the 'monthly loads' module and transfer the loads to the design day. Further, for my peak heating day, I do not understand why only one 4-hour block of the day contains the peak load, whereas this load may be active all day long. Could you perhaps comment on the calculation within the software, and why on a peak heating day one woudl only consider a single 4-hour period and not the whole day? As for the cooling load, can you comment on whether it is more accurate - or necessary - to manually enter the 4-hour averages throughout the day, if one has the hourly design day loads.
