Design calculator for Condensers, evaporators, heat pumps

AI Thread Summary
A discussion on finding effective design calculators for condensers, evaporators, and heat pumps highlights several options. Users recommend a calculator from RAE Corp, which is available under their "downloads" section, but note that it requires a password for access. Carrier also offers a reliable calculator, though a sales engineer must be contacted for a trial version. Another user mentions discovering a program called Evap-Cond, which they plan to test against proven designs. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of reliable tools for HVAC design calculations.

Hey guys

Anyone knows a good calculator for condenser, evaporator, or heat pump design? common unknown parameters would be number of passes, or length of columns, depth or rows...

Thnks
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
These guys have one that works pretty well (under "downloads" it's the "total package" : https://www.rae-corp.com

Carrier makes one that is pretty good as well, though you'll have to contact a sales engineer/rep for a trial version.

Hmm... It has been a while since I used it and I guess I forgot about that... Sorry. Depending on your situation, though, they may be inclined to give you one.
 
ahh..thnx
besides today i found another program something called evap-cond. i just have to test it with proven designs. definitely not going to test it on CFD software :)
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
