SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill performs psychrometric analysis to determine air properties, mixed-air conditions, and cooling/heating loads, ensuring the design meets target performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Psychrometric Calculations: Compute properties at design states (Tdb, Twb, W, h, etc.).
  • Process Calculations: Mixing, cooling, heating, humidification checks.
  • Load Verification: Confirm SHR and total/latent loads align with constraints.
  • Use Case: Validate that the mixed air and coil requirements satisfy the requested cooling load.

Quick Start

Provide inputs from state/request.json, state/concept.json, and state/constraints.json to produce state/psychro.json.

Frequently Asked Questions about ahu-psychro

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate psychrometric air properties for HVAC design?

Psychrometric calculations determine air properties like humidity ratio, enthalpy, and specific volume using saturation pressure equations. This Skill applies Hyland–Wexler equations to compute state properties at design conditions, then performs mixing, cooling, heating, and humidification calculations to verify thermal loads meet ASHRAE requirements.

What does SHR mean and why does it matter for cooling coil design?

Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR) is the ratio of sensible to total cooling load. This Skill validates SHR against design constraints to confirm the cooling coil removes the correct mix of sensible and latent heat, ensuring the system meets thermal load targets.

Can I verify mixed-air conditions and coil loads for my AHU system?

Yes. This Skill reads outdoor and return air conditions, calculates mixed-air properties, then simulates cooling and heating coil performance. It writes results including mixed-air state and verified loads to state/psychro.json for design validation.

How do I look up ASHRAE design conditions for multiple locations?

This Skill references ASHRAE design-condition data to retrieve outdoor air temperature and humidity targets for specific locations and design scenarios. It applies those conditions to validate system performance against industry standards.

What input files does this Skill need to run?

The Skill reads state/request.json (design parameters), state/concept.json (system configuration), and state/constraints.json (performance targets). It produces state/psychro.json containing all calculated air properties, mixed conditions, and load verification results.
