Ensure the Safety of Building Occupants with an Automatic Fire Sprinkler System and Automated Heat Load Calculation Software

 Building services software allows for the optimization of a building’s systems, including fire sprinklers, HVAC systems, heat load and lighting. The computer programs make it easy to manage a building’s systems and its health with centralized access. The software provides multiple benefits building management staff, such as higher energy efficiency, greater occupant comfort and productivity, and lower operating and maintenance costs.

The software provides for higher energy efficiency with controllers and economizers for free cooling and maintaining ventilation at the most efficient flow rates. Controllers, based on sensor input, provide for optimized zone ventilation, heating, and air conditioning. Controllers in many automatic fire sprinkler systems provide smoke control during a fire, maintaining breathable air zones for evacuation in the event of a fire. Modern building services automation technology is cloud-based, so you can access most building services programs from anywhere. This means you receive real-time software updates or your automatic sprinkler systems, air conditioning, sound system, piping system for air conditioning, heat load calculation and other system software’s.



Here, we will discuss about some of the popular building services software used by contractors and engineers in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. These include:

SPRINK2000

The automatic fire sprinkler system SPRINK2000 is capable of analysing looped and gridded systems, and conventional tree configurations.

The computer program can be used to carry out an analysis of hydrant systems with or without hoses or hose reels.

·       The automatic sprinkler system uses the Hazen-William formula for hydrant analysis, and works for Metric, US, and British units.

·       All nodes that are not nominated as discharges or input points in SPRINK2000 automatic fire sprinkler system are automatically assigned as reference nodes to save user input.

·       Booster pumps and backflow preventers can be included in the program and check valves can be made to restrict flow to one direction.

·       SPRINK2000 automatic fire sprinkler system can be used to determine the design point, given the K-factor and minimum discharge of each sprinkler head or hose reel.

·       A graphical display of the grid is provided where the user can display pipe numbers, node numbers and pipe diameters or lengths.

HYENA+ for hydraulic analysis of fire sprinkler and hydrant systems

The automatic sprinkler system HYENA+ can perform a complete hydraulic analysis determining the water flow in pressure drop through each pipe in the entered network. I

It can be used to carry out a sprinkler system analysis in accordance with NFPA, NZ4541, AS2118 and SSPC52 specifications.

·       The piping system can have up to 10 input points for fixed pressure, a town mains water supply, or a pump.

·       Calculations  by HYENA+ use a process of matrix inversion to solve the differential equations for each loop in the system.

·       Piping materials for a wide range of codes are catered by HYENA+ automatic sprinkler system including steel, iron, and copper to Australian and New Zealand standards.

·       The computer program determines the actual I. D. for different pipe materials when the pipe sizes are entered as nominal sizes.

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

·       Booster pumps with backflow preventers can be located anywhere in the network. 

CAMEL air conditioning load estimation and psychometrics analysis software

CAMEL computer program by ACADS-BSG provides heat load calculation and psychometrics analysis and operates in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres.

The computer program models a range of system types including constant volume heating and cooling, VAV with or without reheat, reverse cycle heat pumps, and evaporative coolers.

·       Each AHU of CAMEL heat load calculation software serves a number of zones and rooms.

·       The program caters for overhangs complete with drop panels that can be opaque or partially or completely transparent.

·       The comprehensive set of results provided by CAMEL heat load calculation software include a summary table of loads and air quantities, load charts, and tables of check figures.

·       Fresh air quantities can be entered at room or zone level as I/s/person with plant fresh air quantities using the Compartment Formula.

·       The results of CAMEL can also be displayed graphically, and a psychometrics chart is provided for AHU.

·       The heat load calculation software CAMEL calculates chiller, AHU, zone, and room loads and air quantities, and reheat quantities with or without coil reset and room temperatures.

Other useful building services software by ACADS-BSG include DONKEY which can be used for sizing, acoustical analysis and costing of ductwork systems, PYTHON for designing of water piping system for air conditioning, LLAMA for lift design for commercial buildings, DOLPHIN for sizing and pressure drop calculations for duct runs, and many more. Using any of the software provided by ACADS-BSG, means building services providers can automate many of their works involving advanced engineering calculations, and lower their operational costs. On-screen and contextual help is available for all programs by ACADS-BSG.

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
