- Insulation Ratings: Considers varying insulation qualities
- Energy Efficiency Information: Provides context about HVAC efficiency ratings
Calculation Methodology
Uses scientifically-based approach combining:
- Base Load: Calculated from room volume and standard heat transfer coefficients
- Additional Loads: From windows, doors, occupancy, and appliances
- Seasonal Adjustments: Different climate conditions require different heating/cooling
- Insulation Factors: Quality of insulation affects heat retention/loss
- Unit Conversion: Converts BTU/h to tons (standard HVAC unit)
User-Friendly Interface
- Pre-filled default values for quick start with common room dimensions
- Comprehensive help system with tips and information
- Real-time calculation results display
- Clear data management for easy room addition, clearing, and saving
Load Pulse™ – DuctPro
Overview
Load Pulse – DuctPro is an advanced HVAC engineering tool specifically designed for duct sizing and airflow parameter calculations. This application helps professionals and technicians determine appropriate duct dimensions, airflow rates, and pressure losses based on input parameters, ensuring optimal system performance.
Core Functionality
Calculates duct sizing and airflow characteristics by allowing users to input at least two of three parameters (CFM, Velocity, Duct Size) and automatically computes the missing values. Supports both round and rectangular duct configurations with specialized calculations for each type.
Key Features
- Dual Duct Type Support: Round duct calculations using circular cross-sectional area, Rectangular duct calculations using 2:3 width-to-height ratio
- Comprehensive Calculation Engine: Calculates CFM, velocity, and friction loss automatically with multiple calculation scenarios
- Material-Based Friction Loss: Standard duct material (1.0 factor), Flexible duct material (1.5 factor – higher friction), Fiberglass duct material (1.2 factor – higher friction)
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive input forms with clear parameter labels, Toggle between round and rectangular duct types, Real-time calculation results display, Built-in help system with detailed usage instructions
- Reference Information: Comprehensive recommended duct velocities table, Standard friction loss recommendations for different duct applications, ASHRAE guideline-based calculations
Technical Specifications
- Calculates based on ASHRAE standards and industry practices
- All computations performed locally on device (no data transmission)
- Supports both imperial units (inches, feet per minute)
- Friction loss calculated in inches of water gauge per 100 feet of duct length
