ASHRAE Journal - February 2009 - (Page A4) Analytics CDs Psychrometric Analysis CD, Ver. 6 Includes ASHRAE’s five I-P unit and seven SI unit psychrometric charts. The program included on the CD allows you to plot typical psychrometric processes and perform the corresponding energy calculations on-screen, without having to first print out the individual charts. It can also output a listing of points and processes in a tabular report with calculated properties and energy values for each. All charts and reports are multi-lingual, supporting English, Spanish, French, German, Swedish, and Italian. The CD also includes a presentation of the ASHRAE climatic data presented in the 1997 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals. Dual units. 2007; ASHRAE Price: $209 (ASHRAE Member: $178) Product Code: 94913/ISBN 978-1-931862-12-7 System Requirements: Requires a Windows®-based 486 computer with CD drive and 32 MB of memory with Windows® 95 or later. Not compatible with Mac®. Essential Texts Understanding Psychrometrics, 2nd ed., Gatley ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database CD, Ver. 5.00.00 This database includes loss coefficient tables for more than 200 round, rectangular, and flat oval duct fittings. Featuring pictorial outlines of each fitting, this CD is ideal for design engineers dealing with a variety of duct fittings. For any given fitting, the user can enter the flow rate and fitting information and obtain loss coefficient data and associated pressure loss. The CD also includes table data for supply, exhaust, and common (supply/return) duct functions and is fully printable. Fittings may be saved into a project file, which is easily navigated through using a pop-up window and is small enough to be stored and transferred. An “Explorer” view gives the user an integrated graphic view of all fittings and headings. Dual units. 2008; ASHRAE Price: $199 (ASHRAE Member: $169) Product Code: 94605/ISBN 978-1-933742-38-0 Version 5.00.00 has the capability to export the fitting table coefficient data to the Windows clipboard. These data can be easily pasted into most Windows programs (Microsoft Excel). System Requirements: Requires an Intel 486, Pentium 200 Mhz or faster PC, 32 MB RAM (64 MB recommended), 12 MB free space on the hard drive, and 15 MB free space on the installation drive. This software has the ability to run on a network server. The install includes a network user and server installation. This book is a great refresher and reference for those who use psychrometrics on a recurring basis, such as air-conditioning designers; meteorologists; and agricultural, food process, and industrial process engineers. It also provides a complete psychrometrics learning module for students (estimated length: four-to-six hours) and contains the history of psychrometrics. The second edition also has an appendix on the highly accurate psychrometric formulations of: • Goff and Gratch (1945) • Hyland and Wexler (1983) • Nelson and Sauer (2001) Also included: A supplemental, dualunits CD containing PDF files of psychrometric and humidity ratio charts and tables. SI units; Hardcover with CD; 6 x 9 in; 385 pp; 2nd ed.; 2005; ASHRAE Price: $99 (ASHRAE Member: $84) Product Code: 90166 ISBN: 978-1-931862-83-4 Related Resources Weather Data Viewer CD, Ver. 3.0 This CD displays climatic design conditions, frequency distributions, joint frequency tables, and summary statistics for dry-bulb, dew point, wet-bulb, enthalpy, wind speed, and wind direction for the locations listed in the “Tables of Climatic Design Conditions” in the 2005 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals. The viewer enables you to display the tables in numerical form or plot the frequency distribution, cumulative distribution function, and mean coincident functions. It also provides additional information for all 4,422 stations listed in the Handbook, such as time zone, daylight savings time, and the months and years that were used for the calculation of design conditions.
