Psychro Tools

Psychro Tools is a highly precise, professional-grade application built entirely on the rigorous thermodynamic formulas from the ASHRAE Handbook – Fundamentals (Chapter 6: Psychrometrics). Designed specifically for HVAC engineers and air conditioning professionals, this tool enables you to design, simulate, and analyze complex psychrometric systems with absolute confidence.

🛠️ Advanced Process Design

Build custom, multi-stage psychrometric processes by linking core engineering actions:
• Cooling & Heating: Input capacities, temperatures, or Sensible Heat Factors (SHF).
• Humidifying & Dehumidifying: Simulate steam/water evaporation or moisture removal.
• Saturating & Condensing: Calculate precise saturation points and condensation rates.
• Mixing Air Streams: Adiabatically blend air from multiple sources.
• Heat Exchangers: Model total or sensible heat recovery with custom efficiency parameters.
• Smart Thermostat Action: Conditionally switch processes based on dynamic ambient limits.

🌍 Dynamic 8,760-Hour Climate Simulation

Test the real-world resilience of your design. Apply an entire year of hourly climate data to your process entry points using built-in weather profiles for global capitals, or easily import your own.
Instantly calculate critical peak loads and annual totals:
• Capacity Demand: Get exact heating/cooling loads for any custom period (year, month or user defined period).
• Peak Identification: Pinpoint the exact hour of maximum capacity stress.
• Ambient Extremes: Visualize minimum and maximum localized ambient conditions.

📊 High-Precision Diagrams & Diagnostics

Map your complete process onto interactive, ASHRAE-compliant Psychrometric or Mollier diagrams. Click any point in the process to instantly read detailed air condition parameters, check tabular data, or export professional PDF reports.
