The tool is made up several different calculators. There is a calculator for friction loss and velocity through pipe based on your fluid conditions. Use it to determine the relationship between fluid temperature, system flow and heat/cooling load. There is a Cv tool that can help in multiple ways.
We have also bundled the Circuit Setter® / Triple Duty Valve calculator that is very handy for balance contractors. Use it during design to help predetermine valve settings and out in the field to determine flow through the valves based on pressure drop readings.
I have been doing air and water balance for 26 years. Accuracy is critical if you are a water or air balance professional. We use meters that cost thousands of dollars each. I love innovation, when it actually works.... I would give this app negative stars if possible! I have exclusively used the hand wheel chart when balancing water flow on circuit setters. I saw this app about three years ago, downloaded it and was using it for a little bit. I noticed enormous discrepancies between the GPM’s that were reported on the app and the hand wheel chart. The original issue was, when the degree setting was set to zero, you would get a bogus GPM reading no matter what valve size you were using when you input a pressure differential. I contacted the B&G parts distribution company Dawson and informed them of the problem. Dawson responded wonderfully and contacted the software designer of the app and had the issue resolved. Dawson was so thankful that they sent me a free sweater. Good business. After using the app again, a new issue was discovered. This new issue is very serious and can cause the app to report a GPM reading that is completely different than what it actually is by an extreme amount. I contacted the Dawson company and reported the issue and this time the response was different, they did not seem that interested in trying to have the issue corrected. Not sure why they had a lack of concern. It is for this reason that I am not going to report what the actual issue is and I am doing this in hopes that somebody who actually cares will read this and reach out & contact me from either Dawson or the development group so it gets fixed. The app is a good idea, but it’s no more than that for now until things are fixed. Those of you that use the app can probably figure out what the bug in the software is yourself & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DOUBLE CHECK YOUR GPM READING AGAINST THE WHEEL CHART FOR EVERY MEASUREMENT WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF USING THE APP ALTOGETHER!!!!
Love this handy app! I am a NEBB BCP / TAB that works for a large mechanical contractor. I have used this app for years to communicate the GPM flushing requirements, troubleshoot issues with systems, and pre balance hydronic loops.
This is one of the best apps i have found till now. Appreciated your hard work. Btw, here wa can provide rating, review, so as to the keyword searching install.Want to get more organic users, then find us in upmobi.xyz
App needs work. Compared to other modern apps the interface is old slow and lacks sophistication. For example, fields must be reentered often, and auto populate with values that must be backspaces to removed.
Nice app! Very fast engineering values for piping design. nice to quickly set fluid properties without going to tables.
