DX Condenser

Three-zone model: desuperheating, condensation, subcooling. Full refrigerant-side pressure drop with Müller-Steinhagen & Heck.

Chilled Water

Wet and dry coil analysis with Threlkeld enthalpy potential method. Glycol correction for water-glycol mixtures.

Hot Water

Heating coil with Gnielinski water-side correlation. Temperature-dependent air and water properties.

Steam Coil

Condensing steam with Nusselt film correlation. Automatic condensate drainage calculation and steam trap sizing.

Dehumidifier Builder
