ASHRAE Journal - July 2009 - S4

Analytics CDs Weather Data Viewer, Version 4.0 NEW! Weather Data Viewer Version 4.0 displays climatic design conditions, frequency distributions, joint frequency tables, and summary statistics for dry-bulb, wet-bulb, and dew-point temperatures plus wind speed and direction for all 5,564 locations listed in Chapter 14, Climatic Design Information, of the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals. The viewer can display the tables in numeric form or plot the frequency distribution, the cumulative distribution function, and mean coincident functions. This CD-ROM also provides additional information such as frequency matrices of dry-bulb temperature, and station time information. Available in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, the data can be extracted into text format for batch processing. Version 4.0 also provides a new feature—the capability to automatically locate the stations on GoogleTM Maps with the included StationFinder utility. Dual Units. 2009; ASHRAE Price: $119 (ASHRAE Member: $99) Product Code: 94046/ISBN: 9781933742588 System Requirements: Microsoft Windows© 95 or later, or Microsoft Windows© NT 4.0 or later; Microsoft Excel© 97 or later version (2000, XP, 2003, 2007); Internet access (to use StationFinder). Essential Texts Understanding Psychrometrics, 2nd ed., Gatley 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. 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®. 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 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. 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. Control Systems for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning, 6th ed., Haines and Hittle Includes the psychrometrics of air-conditioning processes.
