Cold Room Calc 4.5 for Windows®
This computer program is designed for cold room refrigeration load
calculations. It requires a minimum of input data to be entered, that are
sufficient for most frequent tasks occurred in practice. The program can be used
both by professionals and non-specialists in the field of refrigeration
technology. The program works with dual units of measurement (SI and I-P).

Data Bases
The program is supplied with the databases on elements of refrigeration heat insulation,
types of food products and climatic characteristics of different geographic
locations. The entries in these databases can be easily added, deleted and edited by
the user.
INSULATION
PARAMETERS:
| Insulation name |
| Standard layer thickness |
| Insulation material thermal transmittance coefficient |
PRODUCT
PARAMETERS:
| Product name |
| Product water content |
| Highest product water freezing point |
| Specific heat capacities above and below freezing point |
| Respiration specific heat gain |
| Respiration temperature rate coefficient |
CITY
PARAMETERS:
| City name |
| Geographic location latitude |
| Summer design air temperature and relative humidity |
REPORT
The output of the program's work is a table of heat gains into cold
room from separate sources, their ratios and also the total heat gain, as well as
a table of heat loads grouped by source categories and their total including
safety factor.
The program allows to enter information about the customer and the
project, as well as to get on paper or in electronic form a printout with
the calculation results.
There is a comprehensive context-sensitive help file.
