Cooling Performance Correction of Air-Conditioners and Air-to-Air Heat Pumps - See HVAC Simplified (Kavanaugh, 20

Input Requirements in Yellow Cells - Output in Blue Cells

This program corrects the nominal condition cooling performance of the air-conditioners and air-to-air pumps to actual condtions (outdoor ai
flow rate). Values used are those presented in Table 5.3 of HVAC Simplified. The program can be modified to correct the equipment perfor
changing the published nominal capacity, demand and air flow rate values in the 'MgfData' worksheet.
