The software available from HVAC Prime Source (HPS) is all based on Excel from MS Office, and
also
compatible with OpenOffice that is available free on internet. Only basic knowledge of Excel is
required,
and the instructions for using this software are very simple. A description of the software
available from
HPS is provided below. This software is much simpler to use than the typical software available
in the
HVAC industry, which is much more complicated and expensive. The HPS software is very low
cost, and
along with each purchase several free software will be provided. The list below provides the
price of each
software, and also the software that will be provided free with purchase. The software can be
purchased
by using the "Add to Cart" button provided next to the software, and you will receive the
software file to
download by email within 5 days.
NOTE: In case the software has sample values in the input cells, simply over-write with the
new values.
1. Cooling and Heating Load Software
This software provides the cooling and heating loads for sizing the HVAC system and
determining
air flow quantities. The input required is environmental and room temperature
conditions, room
dimensions, construction details, and equipment/lighting heat loads. This program
provides a
simplified calculation for estimating the cooling & heating loads, and it is essential for
designing all
HVAC systems. The calculation method and data used is based on ASHRAE and Carrier
Handbooks.

determine the makeup air required for room pressurization such as for clean rooms. It
can also be
used for air leakages from ductwork, or in-leakage/infiltration of outside air to
determine the
impact on heating or cooling load. The calculation method is based on sharp edge orifice
flows per
Crane Handbook. This software is provided free with purchase of one of the software as
indicated
above.
9. Pipe Insulation Requirements (Free)
This software provides the heat load from insulated or bare pipes, and the insulation
thickness
needed for a given type of insulation to limit the heat load and surface temperature, as
required.
The input required is pipe dimensions, insulation k value, and temperature conditions.
The
calculation method is based on ASHRAE Handbook. This software is provided free with
purchase of
one of the software as indicated above.
10. HVAC Unit Conversions (Free)
This is a useful tool to convert the units typically used in HVAC design, such as inches of
water
gauge, velocity to velocity pressure, actual air flow quantity to standard air flow
quantity, and
several others. Normally these conversions are either not available in standard
conversion tables or
require hand calculations. This software is provided free with purchase of one of the
software as
indicated above.
11. Refrigerant Data (Free)
This software provides the pressure temperature data for the most common
refrigerants, and is
provided free with purchase of one of the software as indicated above. This data is very
useful in
sizing refrigerant lines and trouble shooting air conditioning equipment problems. It
provides a
wide range of pressure temperature data for the following refrigerants for quick
reference.
CFC Refrigerant - R11, R12, R113, R114, R500
HCFC Refrigerants - R22, R123
HFC Refrigerants - R134a, R407c, R410a
This software is provided free with purchase of one of the software, as indicated above.
