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 air flow rate). Values used are those presented in Table 5.3 of HVAC Simplified. The program can be modified to correct the equipment pe changing the published nominal capacity, demand and air flow rate values in the 'MgfData' worksheet.
