HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus vs Heat Exchanger Performance

The HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus application is a combination of three (3) of our individual pipe sizing applications including: 1. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Liquid 2. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Steam 3. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas Plus This app is a universal app that works on both the iPhone and iPad and adjusts its screen size accordingly. The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas" module allows you to quickly size a simple low (less than or equal to 1.5 psi) and high (greater than 1.5 psi) pressure gas piping system by inputting a number of piping and gas properties. The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Steam" module allows you to size a steam pipe run, and it also includes a bonus steam table calculator. The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Liquid" module allows you to size a pipe run with many different types of liquids (or fluids), pipe material and fitting types. This application includes all of the great features of the individual pipe sizer apps such as the use of slider controls that allow you to quickly increment or decrement the input values and immediately observe the calculated results. It also allows you to specify different types of liquids, gases, pipe material types, fitting quantities, min and max ranges, and step values. Also, you can display a wide variety of English and Metric units. The "HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus" application was designed by Carmel Software Corporation, a leader in HVAC design software since 1995. In fact, Autodesk (the makers of AutoCAD) acquired our load calculation software and incorporated it into their leading 3D modeling software called Revit. In addition, we developed a number of customized apps for ASHRAE, DNV GL, and other organizations. We also offer the following additional apps for the iPhone and iPad: 1. HVAC Residential Load Calcs for iPhone and iPad 2. HVAC Quick Load Plus 3. HVAC Quick Load 4. HVAC Toolkit 5. HVAC Pipe Sizer – Gas Low Pressure 6. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas High Pressure 7. HVAC Pipe Sizer – Liquid 8. HVAC Pipe Sizer – Steam 9. Steam Tables 10. Psychrometric Plus 11. Psychrometric LT 12. HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus 13. HVAC Pipe Sizer Gas Plus 14. HVAC Toolkit Ultimate 15. HVAC Equipment Locator 16. HVAC ResLoad-J 17. HVAC Psych HD

HeatX (Heat Exchanger) App is developed mainly to evaluate performance in a shell and tube heat exchanger in terms of its over all heat transfer U-coefficient. It also helps in determining different maintenance requirement based on change in its performance characteristics due to degradation. To facilitate continuous monitoring now multiple heat exchanger data can be saved in a file with unique title and can be reloaded as and when required. Manufacturers generally provide design specification data such as heat transfer Area, U-coefficient, effectiveness for a given capacity performance. However, these values tend to vary over a period of time and often it is necessary to evaluate and compare design specification data with actual performance. This app serves as a tool for different maintenance personnel, energy and application engineers in monitoring performance and energy efficiency in a shell and tube heat exchanger. Fluid Properties: Users can quickly select different fluids for both shell side and tube side application from a list of most common fluids used in industrial applications. The key property data such as density and heat capacity is evaluated based on given temperature and pressure for the given fluid. For fluids that are not in the list, users can create a custom fluid with known property data. Data can be edited in both SI and USCS unit standards. Heat Exchanger Data: One can choose heat exchanger depending upon type of application as well as flows. Both inside and out side tube heat transfer area can be computed using the tube dimensional data for verification purpose as shown in the following screen shot. Performance Summary The over all heat transfer coefficient is computed and presented in the main screen. The additional result gives different key performance characteristics of a heat exchanger. App notes has all the definition and brief descriptions of different key parameters presented in the summary. In addition, provided link for the documentation of implementation and validation of math-models used with guidelines for periodic maintenance activities.
