Cooling Performance Correction of Air-Conditioners and Air-to-Air Heat Pumps - HVAC Simplified

Input Requirements in Yellow Cells - Output in Blue Cells

This program corrects the nominal condition cooling performance of the air-conditioners and air-to-air pumps to actual condtions (outdoor ai
temperature, indoor air temperature, air flow rate). Values used are those presented in Table 5.3 of HVAC Simplified. The program can be
modified to correct the equipment performance of other manufacturers by changing the published nominal capacity, demand and air flow rat
values in the 'MgfData' worksheet.
