Akton Psychrometrics 6.0 -
OVERVIEW
|
 |
Akton Psychrometrics 6.0 is a Windows based software program
that enables users to perform detailed complex psychrometric and
process analysis. Psychrometric charts are graphically displayed
right on your computer screen in real-time as the analysis is
performed. Complete state point thermo-physical property and process
value report is automatically generated. Both charts and
reports can be printed, exported to PDF for easy emailing or copied
to the clipboard for pasting into presentations, proposals or
spreadsheets.
Akton Psychrometrics 6.0 dry-bulb temperature range is
-150
to
+2,000
°F, humidity ratios up to
1lb/lb, altitudes up to
45,000 ft
(pressure=0.2 psia) or pressures up to
100 psia
,both IP and SI units,and reports and charts in 13
different languages. Process modelling includes cooling coil with
proper cooling coil curves, air mixing, desiccant dehumidification,
evaporative cooling, sensible cooling, sensible heating and
humidification. |

FEATURES
Akton Psychrometrics 6.0
produces the highest quality, interactive psychrometric charts
available. The program allows the user to perform complex psychrometric
and process analysis. The program also provides a professional state
point and process report detailing all of the psychrometric and process
values as well as a schematic flow chart of the system. Some of the base
features include:
-
Complete state-point and
system process analysis allows you to model a wide range of processes
including air mixing, cooling coil, evaporative cooling, desiccant
dehumidification, humidification and sensible heating & cooling. All
processes can either have an end-point specified, calculating process
data, or process data specified, calculating an end-point result.
-
Complete chart control
allows you to specify virtually any altitude, turn lines on & off, set
process line colors and widths, specify state point icons, sizes and
label fonts.
-
Complete project
information and note capabilities are available. Notes are
individually controlled allowing for font, color, border, and
background to all be specified for each note. It also includes
complete drag-and-drop functionality as well as "new-edit-delete" note
management.
-
All charts, state-points
and process values can be converted between IP and SI units with the
click of a button.
-
Any text on the
psychrometric chart can be displayed in thirteen (13) different
Languages.
-
Right-click pop-up menus
allow for easy control of the chart whether it's moving state-point
labels or managing chart notes. Left double-click automatically
zooms-in and right double-click automatically zooms-out. Hold the left
button down and drag allows you full panning of the chart.
-
The program includes a
1400-city climatic database so that elevation values can easily be
selected.
