Quick Start Manual

INTRODUCTION

This sof t ware is developed by Emerson Climate Technologies to assist in calculation of heat of any building. It has weather data of 44 countries in Asia. Easy step -by-step

input of building parameters allows OEMs sales engineers to calculate the precise load requirement and help them decide on an optional system for building.

Quick Start Manual

ABOUT THE MANUAL

This Manual aims to provide the user sufficient information about the use of the Heat Load Calculating Tool (HLCT) developed by Emerson Climate Technologies. With the aid of this tool, engineers can compute the Heat Load of any building and provide a summary of all Heat Load Computations. This Manual will help the user quickly adapt to the HLCT environment by providing step-by-step instructions on how to design a project, how to properly input data, and how to preview and print the summary of results.

Summer DB

Summer Dry Bulb Temperature

The ambient or outdoor summer temperature samples for each country/city. Summer RH Summer Relative Humidity % The summer relative humidit y in relation to the Summer DB and atmospheric pressure. Ratio of water vapor in the air in relation to the amount needed to saturate the air at the same temperature. Summer X Summer Absolute Humility g/Kg (Dry Air) The summer absolute humidity in relation to the Summer DB and atmospheric pressure. The mass of water vapor divided by the mass of dry air at a given temperature and volume of air. Winter DB Winter Dry Bulb Temperature C The ambient or outdoor winter temperature samples for each country/city. Winter RH Winter Relative Humidity % The winter relative humidity in relation to the Winter DB and atmospheric pressure. Ratio of water vapor in the air in relation to the amount needed to saturate the air at the same temperature. Winter X Winter Absolute Humility g/Kg (Dry Air) The winter absolute humidity in relation to the Winter DB and atmospheric pressure. The mass of water vapor divided by the mass of dry air at a given temperature and volume of air. K Thermal Conductivity / Conductivity Factor Kcal m 2- hr-C

Preset or calculated K factors of composite (wall, floors, roofs, ceilings) and non-composite construction materials. The rate of heat transfer through a material or compound structural member with parallel walls. S C and S C (RF) Shielding Coefficient n/a The measure of how well glazing blocks solar heat gain relative to 1/8 clear glass under the same conditions. The lower the coefficient, the better the unit blocks solar heat.
