The discussion revolves around selecting the appropriate split air conditioning (A/C) unit for a specific area, focusing on the necessary calculations and software tools for determining capacity and airflow requirements. The context includes practical applications and user experiences with different software solutions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests performing a heat load estimation to determine the required capacity and airflow rate for a split A/C unit.
  • Another participant shares a link to a software tool that they find useful for these calculations.
  • A different user mentions using a similar program tailored for Australia and expresses the possibility of doing calculations manually.
  • One participant requests specific guidance on using the software to select a split A/C unit for a 20m² area in Egypt, including how to incorporate local weather conditions into the software.
  • There is a follow-up request for instructions on using the elite software, indicating a need for further clarification on the selection process.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants appear to agree on the importance of heat load estimation and software tools for selecting A/C units, but there is no consensus on the specific steps or methods to achieve this, particularly regarding the use of software in different geographical contexts.

Contextual Notes

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.
