Fire Sprinkler System Design Software to Automate and Accelerate Installations

A fire sprinkler system design software provides HVAC professionals the ability to effortlessly perform complex hydraulic and fluid delivery time calculations. The software can be used to design a variety of sprinkler installations, ranging from alarm valve to sprinkler head installations. The software makes it easy to design a high-quality fire protection system for accurate on-site assembly and faster installations. A sprinkler system design software allows you to properly size system pipes and automatically connects them based on the visually depicted routing option chosen by you.

Here, we will discuss some of the popular fire sprinkler system design software and building maintenance software that industry professionals use widely all over Australia, New Zealand and the world.

SPRINK

Sprink2000 software for building maintenance provides hydraulic analysis of fire sprinkler and hydrant systems. You can use it to analyse automatic fire sprinkler systems with a variety of configurations. The sprinkler system design software is created specifically for use in Northern America. The Sprink computer program performs a complete hydraulic analysis, determining the water flow in and pressure drop through each pipe in a given network.

Salient features of Sprink2000 include:

·         It can carry out analysis of hydrant systems with or without hoses or hose reels.

·         Looped, gridded and tree configurations can be easily analysed.

·         The program works on a wide range of the British and US units. It utilizes Hazen-Williams formula for carrying out hydraulic analysis.

·         All nodes not nominated as discharges are automatically assigned as reference nodes to save input efforts.

·         Piping materials for a wide range of codes can be catered for in the program.

·         The pipes data entry screen of SPRINK2000 allows you to include booster pumps, backflow preventers and check valves to restrict flow to one direction in a given pipe.

·         The fitting selection screen can be used to determine the design point, given the K-factor and minimal discharge of each sprinkler head or hose reel.

·         The grid can be easily entered and may contain up to three main pipes with range pipes between and branches to the left or right as required.

·         A graphical display of the grid is provided where users can choose to display pipe numbers, node numbers, pipe diameters and lengths.

HYENA

Hyena fire sprinkler system design software provides you hydraulic analysis of fire sprinkler and hydrant systems using advanced engineering calculations. The software for building maintenance can be used to analyse fire hydrant and hose reel installations where the discharge can be represented by K-factor and minimum flow.

Key features of Hyena:

·         The program can be used to carry out a sprinkler system analysis in accordance with NFPA, NZ4541, AS2118 or SSPC52 standards for analysing hydrants with or without hoses or hose reels.

·         The piping system can have up to 10 input points.

·         The program operates under WINDOWS and all input data can be entered with a series of screens.

·         A wide range of fittings is provided for equivalent lengths stored in the program.

·         In a grid, sprinkler elevations can be fixed at a given height that can be entered across a grid row. The elevations can be entered as a single slope or pitched slope across the grid row.

·         Range checks are carried out on all input items as they are entered.

·         The calculations in Hyena make use of the process of matrix inversion to solve the differential equations for each loop in the system.

·         It can determine pipe lengths and numbers of fittings categorised by pipe material type and diameter.

·         Columns can be sorted in ascending and descending orders on the pipes entry screen.

·         The results of Hyena sprinkler system design software include a summary of the flows and pressures of all discharges and for all input points.

The above two fire sprinkler system design software are specifically designed for use in residential, commercial and industrial installations in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The software provides you all the tools necessary to design firefighting systems without manually calculating advanced engineering calculations.

There are many other useful software for building maintenance such as Camel for building air conditioning load analysis and psychometrics, Donkey for sizing, acoustical analysis and costing of ductwork systems, Dolphin for sizing and pressure drop calculations of duct runs, and Llama for lift design for commercial buildings which you can consider using for your building maintenance purposes.

How is HVAC Software Helping HVAC Businesses?

Image
Over the last decade, the HVAC industry has grown significantly. It's exploding at a breakneck pace. It already employs over 300,000 people in Australia, but it has shown significant growth in the last few years or so. The boom in residential and commercial building construction is driving the rapid growth. Chances are, your business is doing well as well. While this is something that every firm would like to do, it is a difficult field that quickly becomes more complicated with each professional you add to your team. You may have realized that dealing with spreadsheets is no longer an option for you and are looking for software that is appropriate for your HVAC company. What is HVAC software? HVAC software is intended to help businesses run more profitably and efficiently. This essential device tracks and records customer calls, coordinates HVAC task scheduling and technical dispatching, and helps your team grow sales with simple and efficient invoicing and estimating templ

Why is it Critical to Have the Load Capacity Of Your New Air Conditioner Read and Measured Before It Is Completely Operational?

Image
Summer is still here, and if you're thinking about replacing your old worn-out systems before you turn off the air conditioners when Autumn arrives, consider having the model's load capacity read and assessed. ACADS-BSG recommends installing an air conditioner load calculator, such as KOALA – load calculator. Our KOALA programme was created using cutting-edge technologies to assure accuracy and affordability. One of the most important considerations for installing an air conditioner loadcalculator is establishing the machine's power loading capacity. The amount of cooling power it is capable of producing. It is, certainly, one of the most difficult problems to solve, but it is critical to give you with the most effective equipment for your hard-earned money. The following is a rundown of how everything works. Many people want to buy the most powerful and largest air conditioner that they could easily afford since more power means faster cooling qualities. This holds true
