Rooms must ALWAYS be connected directly to furnace room by a door.

[JamesBremner]

The simplest possible multi-room house

So, how do you want to connect the spirals in the rooms of a house?

( a rough sketch of how you think this should look would be a good initial answer. We can discuss picky details later )

Do you want the layout to be a single long pipe snaking into and out of every room? Seems like this would result in some rooms being too hot and some too cold.

Or do you want several pipes 'radiating' out from a furnace location? This might allow the temperature in each room to be independently controlled.

i don't understand how the first approach will result in some rooms being too hot and some too cold

[JamesBremner]

As the heated fluid travels through a pipe it gives up heat to the room. So the fluid is colder when it leaves the room than when it entered. If the rooms are laid out in series, so that one pipe snakes from the furnace through all the rooms one by one before returning to the furnace to be reheated, then each room will be colder than the one before.

Also, if the first room is too hot, the occupants of that room will turn down the fluid flow. That means the flow through the remaining rooms will also be reduced, leaving them even colder.

There are actually three options:

1. All rooms are heated in series
2. All rooms are connected directly and independently to the furnace ( a star pattern )
3. Rooms are heated in parallel from ring

I would think that number 3, the ring pattern, would be the most effective.

[RMTabish]

you're right, the third one is the better option

[JamesBremner]

I am still waiting for you to post a sketch of how you want the pipes connecting rooms to the furnace.

Maybe use the example you posted to stackoverflow. Where is the furnace in that house? How are the spirals in the rooms connected to the furnace.

[RMTabish]

[JamesBremner]

I still cannot see the furnace, nor can I see the pipe connecting the rooms.

[RMTabish]

here the verdeler is the furnace, its the distributor from where each spiral is going out and joins back in. as mentioned in doc below 'Because everything is made to scale, I also want the connection point (distributor(verdeler)) to be scaled accordingly in the output drawing. Therefore, input must be provided for this. The input is divided into A = Initial Length (mm), B1 = Group Width (mm), B2 = Number of Groups on the Distributor, and C = End Length (mm), X = Desired Number of Groups. Distributor Length = A + (B1 * B2) + C, but this is only the case if B2 == X. If X > B2, then an additional distributor must be added to the layout. For the second distributor, ask the user for the specifications: A_2 (Initial Length (mm)), B1_2 (Group Width (mm)), B2_2 (Number of Groups on the Distributor), and C_2 (End Length (mm)) of the new distributor, and add it in the same way until X <= B2.'

I'm taking all the input from the user for the verdeler(distributor or furnace)

[JamesBremner]

I was supposed to guess that 'verdeler' was the furnace?????

Please post a sketch annotated in English so that I can understand it. Show the pipes leading from the furnace to the rooms only so I can see them. All the spiral lines are not only incorrect but they confuse the picture that I need to see.

[JamesBremner]

Here is the sort of diagram I need from you

[JamesBremner]

I have drawn a ring layout. Note that, for this house, a star layout would be simpler and as efficient, perhaps better.

The difficulty really comes when not all rooms are directly connected to the room where the furnace is located. I need you to think about that and let me know what you want to do.

[RMTabish]

Hey i never said you had to guess, i was typing it out after sharing the picture The outline isnt incorrect or wrong, its only purpose is to give an idea on how the pipes would be laid, its more about how well the final report is made that gives all the information to lay the pipes. Ive asked you multiple times to go through the document i shred this would save you time

[RMTabish]

Its never the case that room isn't approachable by furnace, humans work with it They decide the location for it so its always at the place most optimal for all the rooms

[JamesBremner]

No where in your document does it say the 'verdeler' is the furnace. It talks about a 'connection point' which means nothing to me.

[RMTabish]

It does not say that in documentation, thats why i typed it out in comment

[JamesBremner]

never the case that room isn't approachable by furnace, humans work with it

I think you mean that the furnace room is approachable by humans. Please proof read before posting.

The point I am trying to make is that not every room in a house needs to be connected DIRECTLY to the furnace room. The furnace room can be approached by humans through a series of rooms, one after the other.

[RMTabish]

No I'm not saying it's approachable by humans, it doesn't not make sense. I meant rooms are always directly connected with the furnace room. Please instead of assuming things try asking for explainations

[JamesBremner]

Please instead of assuming things try asking for explainations

That's what I opened this issue for. That is why I labelled this issue "question" and assigned it to you.

[JamesBremner]

I meant rooms are always directly connected with the furnace room.

OK, if that is what you want, I can certainly restrict the possible room layouts in this way.

[RMTabish]

Perfect

I am working on fixing the gaps in the return pipe #6

Otherwise, does this look correct to you?

[JamesBremner]

I posted my proposal for the furnace room pipe layout two days ago https://github.com/JamesBremner/pipify/issues/3#issuecomment-2339378408

There has been no response.

In the meantime, I have been working on getting the details right #6. You can test this under that issue.

Closing this one, replaced by #6

I don't understand, you just posted there output, note that as shared in the doc the furnace room can also have the heating floor
