Linea Trovata Warmtetechniek Improves HVAC Design Accuracy and Client Communication with Hysopt

As an engineering consultancy working on HVAC and energy systems, Linea Trovata Warmtetechniek regularly deals with hydraulic sizing, pump selection, and system optimisation. Traditionally, much of this work was done in spreadsheets — a familiar but error-prone approach.

‍

When Engineer Okan Soenmez started using Hysopt, the goal was clear: move towards a more reliable and structured way of designing systems. Like many new users, he found that understanding the software took some time at the beginning, but once familiar with the workflow, the benefits became clear.

‍

As Okan explains, “In the beginning it’s always difficult to understand how it works, but once you’re used to it, it’s pretty easy.”

Before adopting Hysopt, Linea Trovata Warmtetechniek relied heavily on Excel for hydraulic calculations. While flexible, this approach made it easy to introduce small errors — for example by selecting the wrong cells or overlooking dependencies in the model.

‍

With Hysopt, the design process becomes more structured. Calculations are embedded in the model itself, reducing the risk of manual mistakes and making it easier to detect inconsistencies. As Okan notes, “you can make easier faults in Excel, but with the software it’s easier to detect problematic situations.”

‍

This shift allows engineers to work with greater confidence, especially in projects where multiple components interact.

One of the key advantages for Linea Trovata Warmtetechniek is the ability to adapt designs efficiently. In spreadsheets, even small changes — such as adjusting system power or adding an end unit — can require significant manual recalculation.

‍

Within Hysopt, these updates can be handled more consistently, reducing the risk of overlooking elements. Okan confirms that recalculating systems is more reliable, especially when multiple parameters change at once.

‍

This has already proven useful in practice. The team identified pipe sizing issues in an early stage and adjusted them before finalising pump selection — avoiding problems later in the project.

Beyond internal calculations, Hysopt also improves how LineaTrovata Warmtetechniek communicates with clients. Instead of sharing onlyspreadsheets, engineers can now provide clear hydraulic schematics andstructured outputs.

‍

Although building the model can take more time than workingin Excel, the result is more valuable. As Okan explains, the effort leads to “abeautiful hydraulic schema” that can be shared directly with clients.

This clarity supports better discussions, helps explaindesign choices, and aligns with the growing demand for transparency in HVACengineering projects.
