HVAC SOFTWARE

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.

2. Duct / Fan Pressure Drop Software


This software provides the pressure drop for various duct fittings to be able to
determine the total
pressure drop for a typical system and size the fan. The input required is duct
dimensions, duct
fittings and air flows. This program provides a simplified calculation for determining the

fan
differential pressure. The program also facilitates drawing a schematic flow diagram of
the system.
The calculation method and data used is based on ASHRAE and Carrier Handbooks.

3. Refrigerant Pipe Sizing Software


This software provides the sizing of the refrigerant pipes/lines for a typical split airconditioning or
refrigeration system, which has the compressor/condenser unit located separately from
the cooling
coil. It is very critical to size the refrigerant lines correctly, or it can result in system
malfunction or
compressor damage. This software sizes the refrigerant compressor suction, discharge
and liquid
lines, and provides the recommended sub-cooling and superheat temperatures. The
input required
is max/min cooling load, length of piping and fittings, condensing temperature, etc. This
program
provides a simplified calculation for determining the line sizes for typical copper tubing
material
and the most commonly used refrigerants R22, R134a, R407c & R410a. The calculation
method and
data used is based on ASHRAE and Carrier Handbooks.

4. Water Piping / Pump Pressure Drop Software


This software provides the pressure drop for various pipe fittings to be able to
determine the total
pressure drop for a typical chilled water or hot water system and size the pump. The
input required
is pipe dimensions, fittings and flow gpm. This program provides a simplified calculation
for

determining the pump pressure head. The calculation method and data used is based on
Crane,
Cameron and Carrier Handbooks. The program also facilitates drawing a schematic
flow diagram of
the system.

5. Cooling Load Formulas (Free)


This software provides calculations to determine the sensible, latent and total cooling
loads, by
using formulas based on air flow parameters. The inputs required are air flow rate,
temperature,
and moisture/ humidity, which are available from the design conditions and
Psychometric charts.
These formulas can be used to determine the outside makeup air load based on outside
air and
room air parameters, and total load on the cooling coil based on coil inlet and outlet air
parameters.
This program provides a simplified calculation for determining the sensible and latent
cooling loads
essential for sizing and specifying the equipment. The calculation method is based on
standard
formulas given in ASHRAE and Carrier Handbooks. This software is provided free with
purchase of
one of the software as indicated above.
6. Fan Performance Analysis (Free)
For a given airflow and pressure, this software provides the fan Horsepower, Amps
current, and fan
heat gain or increase in supply air temperature due to fan heat. It is a useful tool to
estimate the
power requirements and the heat load from the fan that needs to be added to the
cooling load.
This software is provided free with purchase of one of the software as indicated above.
7. Pump Performance Analysis (Free)
For a given fluid flow and pressure, this software provides the pump horsepower, and
NPSH. It is a
useful tool to estimate the power requirements and the NPSH for a Pump. This software
is provided
free with purchase of one of the software as indicated above.
8. Air Leakage Calculation (Free)
This software determines the air leakage through the cracks or a penetrations. It is a
useful tool to

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.
