The design heat flow arriving at Gate 3 needs to be distributed amongst Gate 1 and Gate 2. To define this heat flow distribution, the user can submit input values in the parameter list. The parameter lists asks the user to give information about the heat flow at Gate 1. From the known heat flow at Gate 3 and the input about Gate 1, the heat flow at Gate 2 can subsequently be deducted based on the chosen Power propogation mode. The most common power propagation mode is ‘Regular’, for . For more info on power propagation modes see Power propagation examples.
...
Instead of defining the heat flow at the primary gate based on an absolute value, the user can also propagate a certain percentage primary power percentage relative to the design flow rate at Gate 3. Subsequently, the design flow rate of Gate 2 can be deducted from the power propagation mode, the design flow at Gate 3 and the information with regards to Gate 1.

Primary power percentage will always overrule the Heat flow on primary circuit when the Primary power percentage has been given a value. The Heat flow on primary circuit thus becomes irrelevant if a Primary power percentage is availablesubmitted. |
An extensive example on how to use the relative input for multiple parallel production circuits is shown below:
