A computer program for air-conditioning load estimate based on the carrier method

摘要

This paper discusses the procedure of air-conditioning load estimation. It involves the use of several data tables and graphs, which can be facilitated by the use of computer software programs. In this regard, several programs have been developed, some of them are not easily adaptable to the immediate needs of developing environments. This is a report of the development of a computer program for air-conditioning load estimate based on the methods adopted by carrier corporation. These methods are not sophisticated, and therefore the resulting computer program is adaptable. In the program, the commonly utilised data tables have been input as arrays and by specifying the subscripts of an element of an array the desired tabular value is accessed and utilised in some computation. The ways of refining the program are presented in this paper.
