Get More Opportunities to Quote Faster for Your Professional HVAC Designs
HVAC software is necessary for professionals in the
building industry that need to implement proper and safe facilitation of
airflow throughout a building. While mechanical engineers focus on the
mechanical design of a building, HVAC engineers have to look into air condition
heat load calculations and duct design aspects of a site. While designing a
ductwork network, the requirements can vary from country-to-country and
region-to-region. Compared to the residential duct design software, an industrial
ductwork system has more critical and specialized needs. So, you need
specialized building services software that can help you with the speedy
execution of your ductwork design plans.
Submit
error-free part orders
This software allows you to stand out from the competition
with professional HVAC designs. You get more opportunities to quote faster and
more accurately. You can submit error-free part orders and enhance the
professionalism of your company.
An air conditioning duct design software allows you to
create a complete duct system from start to finish and provides you control
over every aspect of your design. You can use the program to size all the ducts
for you in a 3-D simulation or analyze an existing design.
If you are an engineer or HVAC designer and want to step
up your duct sizing capabilities, you need specialized software that can
provide you comprehensive reports for previewing on-screen, printing or even saved
to disc. Here we briefly describe three popular duct air conditioning duct
design software, air conditioning heat load calculation software and duct pressure drop calculator software
that are used by the professionals in Australia, New Zealand and other regions
of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
DONKEY
Donkey air conditioning duct design
software allows the users to easily determine the size of a duct
network. It carries out a complete acoustical analysis and also determines
quantities for costing. The program operates via a set of add-on menus in
AutoCAD. A user can enter the duct layout as a line diagram including all the
terminals, fittings and fans. All the parameters related to these components
can be entered in dialogue boxes that are called up on the screen.
Once the duct layout is entered, Donkey will calculate the
duct sizes and the noise levels throughout the system. The air conditioning
duct design software provides automatic connection of run out ducts to
terminals. Various alternative designs can be investigated for a cost-effective
design that satisfies the design objective for noise with minimal damper
balancing pressure and cost.
Ducts can be drawn in Donkey, and the data for
calculations is extracted from the drawing and calculations performed via items
on the Utilities Menu. The overall results provided by Donkey air conditioning
duct design software include duct sizes, pressure drop NR levels, damper
out-of-balance pressure and noise level at selected frequencies. Quantities for
costing including the weight of sheet metal and the number of terminals and
shop drawing man-hours can also be displayed by Donkey for cost-effective
solutions.
DOLPHIN
The duct pressure drop calculation software calculates
pressure loss of a series of ducts and fittings. The user can easily determine
the required fan pressure for a duct network. For each duct entered by the
user, Dolphin will calculate the pressure loss in each length of the duct and
each fitting. Supply ducts and fittings are entered on one screen while return
ducts are entered on the second screen. Selected ducts can also be sized by the
program with the help of entered pressure drop/meter.
The program
performs an hourly cooling load analysis taking into account the thermal
storage on a design day. It also carries out a psychometric analysis of each
AHU with the coil performance expressed as a bypass factor. Fresh air
quantities can be entered at room or zone level as i/s/person. Pre-calculated U
values and surface densities for a wide range of wall and roof constructions
are available in Dolphin.
Summary screen
Summary results of Dolphin duct and fitting pressure loss
calculation software include the total pressure loss of the supply and return
ducts and fittings. AHU pressure losses can be entered to get the total fan
pressure loss. The maximum velocity in the supply and return ducts are also
displayed. Supply and Return Screens can be easily exported by the user to the
Microsoft Excel to obtain a printed version.
KOALA
This specialized air conditioning heat load calculation
program can estimate air conditioning loads in small buildings and produce a
load chart for up to 10 zones. It is based on CARRIER air conditioning load
estimation design methods and data described in the AIRAH/IHRACE Application
Manual DA9. Monthly critical or comfort summer and winter design conditions for
over 600 locations in Australia and for many other locations in New Zealand are
available. The results of Koala include a cooling and heating load chart for
each zone, summary results and tables that can be printed as well.
Design better
value systems
These are the popular and specialized building services
software by ACADS-BSG. The company has created many more such software to help
the HVAC professionals do their job more efficiently and in a cost-effective
way. All input data is checked at the point of entry so that no improper data
can be entered. Comprehensive in-screen help is available at each screen so
that you can operate the software with ease.
This software allows you to design a better value system
for your clients and also communicate the value in your air conditioning and
building designs. Get in touch with ACADS-BSG for more information.
