This is official description
CYTSoft Psychrometric Chart is an interactive and intelligent psychrometric chart program designed for thermodynamics-related industries, especially HVAC and refrigerating. It helps engineers calculate, analyze, draw, edit, print, and export conditions and processes of moist air quickly and accurately.
Traditionally, moist air is modeled as a mixture of two ideal gases by most psychrometric charts and calculators. By contrast, CYTSoft Psychrometric Chart treats dry air, water vapor and moist air as REAL GASES to get much higher accuracy and larger extents. Thus, this product is especially useful where high precision is required.
Main Features :
- Completely customizable chart : You can customize almost everything of the chart to suit your preferences. The altitude, pressure, dry-bulb temperature range and humidity ratio range can be specified by the user.
- Viewing chart details conveniently : The PAN/ZOOM commands, windows scroll bars, mouse wheel, and shortcut keys (arrows, +/-, Page Up/Down, and Home/End) make you enjoy viewing every detail of the chart with ease.
- Various kinds of objects drawn on the chart : You can draw points, straight lines, cooling coils, mixing lines to represent different air conditions or processes. And any position of the chart can be marked by a label or a note. All objects are editable! That is, You can change their properties (including parameters and appearances) at any time after they are created.
- Unlimited history : Every action you perform when creating or modifying objects on the chart is recorded and may be undone and redone.
- Powerful print : You can print a picture of the chart, and you can print a tabular report for objects on this chart. Alternatively, you can export or copy them into anther application and then print in that app.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 2.1
The CYTSoft Psychrometric Chart program was created to meet the needs of everyone in fields related to or in thermodynamics, such as HVAC or refrigeration. The software lets you calculate, analyze, edit, draw and print conditions and processes of moist air. The program is accurate and the results can then be exported. The charts include calculations bases on dry air, water vapor and moist air as real gases, which is why the results are more accurate than what other programs are capable of.
There are dozens of formulas that the software uses. There are many ranges that the calculations can be in. In SI units, the barometric pressure can be anywhere from 20,000 to 500,000 PA or 150 and 3,750 mmHg. The dry bulb temperature range is from -50 to 200 degrees Celsius and the humidity ratio is from 0 to 120 g (water) / kg (dry air).
I-P units are also given as results and there the barometric pressure is from 2.9 to 72.5 psi or 5.906 and 147.65 in Hg. The dry bulb range is -58 to 392 degrees Fahrenheitm and the humidity ration is 0 up to .120 lb (water) / lb (dry air).
The charts are customizable and the user enters the specifications. Viewing the charts is easy to do and you can zoom in, pan, scroll or use shortcut keys. |
