Para todos aquellos que estén diseñando en estos momentos sus instalaciones de goteo , recordamos que TORO ofrece una herramienta de diseño Aqua Flow, el software se puede descargar desde la página de TORO: http://driptips.toro.com/design-tools/drip-design-software/

REscatamos un antiguo post sobre este tema

******************************************************************

Aquaflow es un software gratuito para diseño de sistema de riego por goteo que permite optimizar el funcionamiento de la instalación. En esta nueva versión se incluye el novedoso Aquatraxx FC (Flow Control) , cinta de goteo autocompensante. Pronto publicaremos un post sobre los beneficios del uso de este producto (aquí puede encontrar información here. )

Se muestra más abajo un ejemplo práctico, esta es la información que facilita el software, analizando la uniformidad de riegomediante un código de color , lo que nos permitirá valorar el resultado del diseño de la instalación. Lógicamente, interesan tonos amarillos o verdes para estar en un rango entre  -5  y +5% de variación en la uniformidad

A continuación listamos un resumen, en inglés, de las posibilidades de la nueva versión del Aquaflow:

  • NEW: AquaFlow now includes AquaTraxx FC’s newest 0.13 gph emitter flow rate.
  • A search feature, including emitter flow rate, helps users identify and select the desired Toro tape or dripline model faster and easier.
  • The inlet position to the submain manifold may now be specified manually, or may be calculated automatically to achieve the highest emission uniformity
  • Minimum emitter flow and maximum emitter flow have been added to the lateral report
  • Aqua-Traxx FC has been added to the product menu and replaces discontinued Aqua-Traxx PC part numbers
  • Access via the cloud or via a download version at toro.com or driptips.toro.com
  • A user-friendly welcome screen automatically formats to multiple screens and font sizes, and includes expandable panels that reveal instant results, including a color-coded Uniformity Map that illustrates percent flow deviation from average with color
  • Design functions include Laterals, Submains, Lateral/Submain Flushing, and Mainlines
  • Pull-down menus allow easy creation of Customers and Projects, and easy selection of Mainline Design, Custom Laterals and Pipes, Options, Common Formulas, and Help. To enable the Custom Laterals feature, contact aquaflow@toro.com

  • Laterals and Custom Pipe Sizes allows user to enter data for custom lateral, submain and mainline pipe sizes. To enable the Custom feature, contact aquaflow@toro.com
  • The sub-main field position may be entered manually, or may be calculated automatically to optimize block emission uniformity
  • Multiple-slopes may be entered for laterals, submains, and mainlines
  • Submains and mainlines may be telescoped with multiple pipe sizes
  • The Project Size is available in the Project Report and summarizes the acreage of all blocks in a project’s multi-block design
  • A diagram or image file can be added to the Customer description
  • Designs may be easily saved, exported and imported
