Spaix Quick&Easy – The PumpSelector for Windows
Spaix Quick&Easy was especially developed for small and medium-sized companies looking for a solution to manage their performance curves and the pump selection without having to implement a complete pump configuration and quotation system. Like the complete product versions the selection program is complemented by a powerful data maintenance program.
The selection program contains the hydraulic selection of a pump via the area of application and the duty point as well as the product selection browser as a direct access by series and pump type.
Hydraulic Selection
Operating Data Specification
The hydraulic selection allows the complete selection and configuration of the pump system according to given operating conditions like area of application, pumped medium, flow and head. In a single quest it is possible to search for pumps from different areas of application or different suppliers (as far as is available in the database). The simplified selection has a dialog with the necessary input fields. In the advanced selection the user can specify additional selection parameters.
The connection to the friction loss calculation program Spaix PipeCalc (optional module) supports the duty point calculation. The calculation results and the data sheets will automatically be integrated into the PumpSelector project.
The pump installation can be designed as a single pump or as two pumps in parallel or serial operation. The selection of twin-head pumps and boosters is also supported, whereby the particular features of booster sets are reflected in a special input mask.
Search Result
Suitable pumps and their major characteristics are listed in a table. Just one mouse click sorts the list according to individual table columns or individual filters can be determined.
The software converts the pump performance curves to the operating conditions. For high-viscous NEWTONian fluids the method according to the standards of the Hydraulic Institute are applied.
If an integrated non-return valve is used, then Spaix calculates the resulting performance curves. Pump curve optimisation can be effected by impeller trimming, by changing the speed, by modifying the vane angle for propeller pumps or by throttling.
In accordance with the calculated shaft power and the manufacturer's settings, the pump and the motor can be assembled as a modular system or they will be determined by a fixed allocation.
The incorporation of external documents like PDF files or pictures enables the user to obtain additional information in order to assist his choice.
The operating cost calculation allows comparison of the pumps with the focus on economic aspects. The loading profile can be defined individually. Calculating the life cycle costs (LCC) can be done according to the Hydraulic Institute, Europump or VDI 2067.
Product Selection Browser
As an alternative to the Hydraulic Selection, a pump can be selected and configured in the Product Selection Browser. In order to simplify navigation through the pump series, pictograms visualise the pumps. Otherwise, the same functions found in the search result of the hydraulic selection are available.
Integration of Web- and Windows Version
The increasing integration of web-based and Windows-based applications becomes more and more important for the development of pump selection software. The objective is the optimal use of the advantages of both versions. The greatest benefit of the internet application is its up-to-date nature. Spaix Quick&Easy also has an integrated Internet update function by means of which the software can be updated automatically. Pump manufacturers, who pass on software to their customers using CD licences, can also use the function for data changes. This does away with expensive CD productions for data updates.
Interfaces
To exchange data with other systems Spaix supports different interfaces and file formats:- PDF export of data sheets
- Catalogue and project interface according to the standard, VDMA 24278
- CEF 2.0 Catalogue Exchange Format
- DXF, WMF and BMP files for user defined pages
- Export of characteristic curve diagrams in various graphic formats
Spaix Quick&Easy Database – Database Maintenance Program
The data maintenance program complements the PumpSelector and enables the simple input of your pump data.
Overview
To manage the data Spaix Quick&Easy Database offers a graphical user interface. Using the proven Spaix V2 technology the database is fully compatible with Classic and Online versions. This makes a later upgrade to the complete pump selection, configuration and proposal management system easy and cost-effective - from a technical point of view and with regard to the licence structure.
With its standardised database the once entered information with different program versions can be used for internal applications, for customer CDs, on the web and even for the global PumpSelector on the online portal impeller.net. This provides the user with the highest level of flexibility while data management is minimized. The modular concept ensures minimal data redundancy. The software links data records (curves, motors) to different pumps. The amount of information and documentation available to the user is defined by the person entering the data. The display in the selection program will be customised accordingly so that non applicable information is hidden.
Multi-selection and drag-and-drop make the management of large data sets easy. Thus, parameters for several pumps can be changed at once without having to open each single record.
Entering Performance Curves
Depending on existing data there are several ways to enter curves into Spaix. Through the graphical user interface the curve points can be entered directly and the settings for the display can be determined. The result immediately shows on the screen. If the initial data is available in Excel or text files then they can simply be transferred into the program using the Windows clipboard.
If the information exists only on paper or as graphic file the scanned curves can be digitised for use by the software with just a few mouse clicks.
For larger amounts of data already available in digital formats the automatic import through the integrated text-based interface is best. In this case the catalogue interface according to VDM A24278 or the specific Spaix-interface CEF can be used.
