HVAC SOFTWAREThe software available from HVAC Prime Source (HPS) is all based on Excel from MS ffice! andalso com"atible with "enffice that is available free on internet# nl$ basic %nowled&e of Excel isre'uired! and the instructions for usin& this software are ver$ sim"le# A descri"tion of the software available from HPS is "rovided below# This software is much sim"ler to use than the t$"ical software availablein the HVAC industr$! which is much more com"licated and ex"ensive# The HPS software is ver$ low cost! and alon& with each "urchase several free software will be "rovided# The list below "rovides the "rice of each software! and also the software that will be "rovided free with "urchase# The software can be "urchased b$ usin& the (Add to Cart( button "rovided next to the software! and $ou will receive the software file to download b$ email within ) da$s#*TE+ ,n case the software has sam"le values in the in"ut cells! sim"l$ over-write with the new values#1. Cooling and Heating Load SoftwareThis software "rovides the coolin& and heatin& loads for si.in& the HVAC s$stem and determinin& air flow 'uantities# The in"ut re'uired is environmental and room tem"erature conditions! room dimensions! construction details! and e'ui"ment/li&htin& heat loads# This "ro&ram "rovides a sim"lified calculation for estimatin& the coolin& 0 heatin& loads! and it is essential for desi&nin& all HVAC s$stems# The calculation method and data used is based on ASHRAE and Carrier Handbooks#Cost 1 2 34#556ree Software "rovided with this "urchase - Coolin& 7oad 6ormulas Pi"e ,nsulation HVAC 8nit conversions9escri"tion of the free software is &iven below#2. !"t # Fan $ress!re ro% SoftwareThis software "rovides the "ressure dro" for various duct fittin&s to be able to determine the total "ressure dro" for a t$"ical s$stem and si.e the fan# The in"ut re'uired is duct dimensions! duct fittin&s and air flows# This "ro&ram "rovides a sim"lified calculation for determinin& the fan differential "ressure# The "ro&ram also facilitates drawin& a schematic flow dia&ram of the s$stem#The calculation method and data used is based on ASHRAE and Carrier Handbooks#Cost 1 2 34#556ree Software "rovided with this "urchase - 6an Performance Air lea%a&e HVAC 8nit conversions9escri"tion of the free software is &iven below#
