Do you ever wish you could just push a button and get a fast answer for a particular HVAC question? Or that you could learn about Psychrometrics by just popping up the chart and selecting an HVAC process, like mixed air, without having to plod through a lot of work? Then we have the answer for you -- Right-Psychrometrics!
The big advantage of this Psychrometric calculator is how easily and how fast you can get an answer. You can chain processes together by just dragging the end point of one to the beginning of another. You can make up your own processes, and you can save them in the catalog. So even if you create a special combination -- like air handler with reheat (two processes chained together) -- you can save it in your catalog, and drag it out anytime you like. Now you'll be able to pull up a psychrometric calculation anytime you like, and even print it out in the colors you choose.
