Click For Summary
To select the right split A/C unit for a given area, a heat load estimation is essential to determine the required capacity and airflow rate. Users can utilize software like Elite HVAC or RHVAC for accurate calculations, but guidance on how to effectively use these tools is often needed. Specific instructions for calculating BTUs based on area size and local climate conditions, such as those in Egypt, are requested by users. Understanding how to input local weather data into the software is crucial for accurate results. Proper selection ensures efficient cooling tailored to the specific environment.

how to select split a/c units for agiven area?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Generaly you need to do a heat load estimation do find out the capacty you need and the air flow rate.
 
russ_watters link seems to do the job prety good.
i live in Australia so the program that i use is slightly different.

If you really keen you can do the calculations yourself.
 
hi russ,
well,if you remember,i had asked the same question before,and u gave me that site and i got the software and set it up on my pc,but it really need someone to tell you how to do the right selection of ur split unit,and how many BTU's u need to cover ur area,where you are,so
if you please,would you give us directions with "how to select the split a/c for a given area?"
lets say:20m^2 is the area,and the country is Egypt,"if you want to do it for a different country like for ex,where you are,do it,but tell us how to set this with the software",so,what are the steps would you do till you get the required BTU's for the given area?
i have the residential hvac,"RHVAC"&also the "CHVAC",i got them when you told me about,and never got to use it to select a unit,one more question,
how can i add Egypt weather condition to that software?
thanks and hope you help us with using that software,it seems really reliable.
thanks for the forum.
 
still waiting ur help russ with the instructions of using the elite software

thanks for the forum.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
