HVAC Buddy®

Make your job easier with our refrigerant charging and diagnostic HVAC app - HVAC Buddy®. If you are servicing equipment the best way to begin diagnosis and determine the proper refrigerant charge is to use HVAC Buddy®, a set of gauges, and a thermometer. • Superheat for fixed capillary or Subcooling forTXV/EXV systems • Calculates targeted vs. actual Subcooling • Over 100 refrigerants including newer azeotropic blends • Airflow / Delta-T / TEET Calculation • Email System Status Report • Imperial (IP) or Metric (SI) • Use Target Superheat and Subcooling tables or enter manually • Update all values with realtime output • Line Chart displays historical values based on input changes or elapsed time If the early outdoor temperature is 75F and you charge the system to a “beer can cold” suction line your system is likely improperly charged. Later in the afternoon high temperatures will increase head pressure and the resulting overcharge means a lower than desired superheat and wasted energy. Not good! Overall Process: • Enter refrigerant, temps, and pressures • The math is done for you to display Superheat, Subcooling and Airflow Target, Actual, and Difference • Email all readings (detail) Other Features: • Flexible units - psi, kPa, Fahrenheit, Celsius, etc. • Calculates Superheat and Subcooling targets • Airflow - For cooling, compares a targeted difference across the coil vs. actual. Also called Delta-T or Target Evaporator Exit Temperature (TEET). • System Status Report - Use the email tab to create defaults for email addresses, subject, and System Status Report introductory text. Tap the email button and these values are incorporated into a formatted page including all the parameters recorded in HVAC Buddy. Edit the email and / or add contacts from your contact list. Then on each service call it's just a couple taps to send a personalized report.
