Abstract: A device for assisting in assigning setting values of a compressor operation controller for starting or stopping one or more compressors, collecting discharged air of the compressors in an air tank, and supplying the air tank as a compressed air source in a predetermined pressure range, includes: an input unit that receives piping network information which is an element of a pressure loss of a piping flow from the compressor to a pressure control position of the controller, compressor specifications which are an upper limit of a discharge pressure of the compressor and a number of compressor starts/stops, a supply flow rate condition which is time change data of a flow rate flowing from the pressure control position of the controller, and a supply pressure condition which is a lower limit of the supply pressure at the pressure control position of the controller.

Abstract: Provided is a pipe network evaluation device that is capable of calculating a pressure loss in a pipe network and a consumption flow rate of compressed air in each terminal equipment without inputting layout information on devices, even in a case where there are some devices, the layout information about which is difficult to ascertain visually or obtain from a building drawing, or the like. Provided is a pipe network evaluation device that estimates the resistance of a pipe, the layout information about which is unknown, on the basis of pressure data on compressed air in an air tank, flow rate data on compressed air supplied from the air tank, layout unknown-part pipe outlet pressure data, for which layout information is unknown, and layout known-part pipe layout information, for which layout information is known.
