WHES can help engineers for designing steam distribution systems for large establishments such as university campuses in cold regions and industrial complexes. WHES employs the module Steam2016 of the Pipe2016 family of software for this purpose. Steam2016 can handle very large looped pipe networks with multiple compressors, pressure reducing valves and multiple sources. Steam2016 is so versatile it can handle both saturated and superheated steam with ease and provides information on pipe heat losses, available super heat in various regions, node temperatures in a very user friendly graphical format directly overlaid on the network schematic. Steam2016 employs the latest IAPWS97 steam tables.
