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.
