Air Conditioning Heat Load Calculations Made Easy With Professional Software Programs
If you’re a HVAC
professional, you will require air conditioning heat load calculation software that
you can use to input data for various dimensions of walls, windows, partitions,
and the number of occupants in a particular space. The software will
automatically calculate the heat load required for the effective cooling of a
space, and recommend the tonnage for the air-conditioning unit needed for that
particular space.
As a HVAC designer,
you will work directly with construction engineers to install the AC with the
right tonnage. For this, heat load calculation is needed to determine the best
size and style of HVAC systems used in commercial and residential buildings. HVAC
contractors often opt for large sized equipment that results in increased
utility bills and inefficient operation costs. Many contractors just check the
label on the system for sizing and efficiency. However, this method does not
work for modern buildings which are in need of increased efficiencies and
comfort.
A good air
conditioning heat load calculation software program can perform accurate
calculations much faster, so you can save a lot of time in choosing and
installing the right unit for your project.
Most
accurate engineering calculations
However, the
calculations provided by the software are the best estimates; the actual load
requirement can vary slightly, based on the material used in constructing the
building, the occupant’s lifestyle and various other factors. However, the
software certainly provides better and faster results than manually doing all
these calculations, and expecting anything more than the program’s estimate
would not be a good idea.
ACADS-BSG is a leader
in developing software for building services, including air conditioning heat
load calculation software packages. The company provides software and tools for
building and construction industry professionals to design and check building
services for both new and existing buildings.
CAMEL is a popular
air conditioning heat load calculation software by ACADS-BSG that calculates
the design heating and cooling loads and associated psychometrics for
air-conditioning plants in buildings. The comprehensive analysis program models
a range of system types including:
- Constant volume heating and cooling
- HAV with and without reheat
- Reverse cycle heat pumps, and
- Evaporative coolers
The program caters to
overhangs, complete with drop panels and reveals on both windows and walls. The
program provides you the ability to view the shadow patterns of shading devices
as they traverse any selected wall. The program gives proper consideration to
the effect of an external shading device that shades a window. Summary tables
of loads and air-quantities and load charts are also provided that can be selected
using a series of checkboxes. It performs an hourly cooling load analysis,
taking into account thermal storage. Specific monthly 3 pm design dry and wet
bulb temperatures are available for over 600 locations in Australia, New
Zealand and other regions.
AC
heat calculation software for small buildings
KOALA is another air
conditioning heat load calculation program by ACADS-BSG that can be used for
estimating air conditioning loads in small units. The program is best suited
for use by any designers and contractors working on installing air-conditioning
units. It produces a detailed load chart that sets out the input data and
design data for each individual component of the load. Data entry is made easy
with the drop-down selection menus. This makes it easy to use, as the program
performs extensive checks on the data you use and alerts you if it finds any
issue.
Graphics are provided
for windows, external walls and roof screens to help the users in checking
their input data. The program can be used for analyzing buildings in Northern
and Southern Hemispheres and allows the users to enter their own design
conditions if these are not provided in the program.
Custom
input and editing of data
The programs allow
for editing the weather data for specific city conditions. The software comes
with advanced features such as calculations for the peak heating and cooling
loads, complete psychometric analysis, and different air rates for summers and
winters.
Try ACADS-BSG’s
software programs for the best results for your HVAC projects. We have
specialized software for use in northern and southern hemispheres. You will come to understand why so many
professionals from across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Americas and other
regions of the world use our software.
