BaseCalc HVAC Calculator is an HVAC calculator for field math, worksheets, materials, and saved calculation history. Run BTU, CFM, duct sizing, airflow, psychrometrics, refrigerant line, superheat, subcooling, load, hydronics, and other HVAC calculator checks on site, then save the result for the job.
18 CALCULATORS FOR DAILY FIELD WORK
- BTU ↔ Tons: convert between BTU/hr and refrigeration tons.
- CFM from BTU: airflow from load and temperature rise/drop.
- BTU from CFM: load from airflow and temperature difference.
- Duct Sizing: round and rectangular duct from CFM and velocity.
- Air Velocity: velocity from CFM and cross-sectional area.
- Psychrometrics: total, sensible, and latent BTU/hr estimates.
- Refrigerant Lines: suction and liquid line size recommendations.
- Superheat / Subcooling: target superheat and subcooling guides.
- Room Load: quick cooling/heating load estimate.
- Heat Pump Balance: balance point between capacity and heat loss.
- Hydronics: BTU, GPM, and ΔT relationships.
- Mixed Air: mixed-air temperature from outdoor and return air.
- Air Changes: ACH from CFM and room volume.
- Evaporative Cooling: supply temperature and tonnage estimate.
- Filter Velocity: face velocity and pressure drop estimate.
- Combustion Analysis: excess air from O2 or CO2 readings.
- Refrigerant Weight: line-set charge estimate in ounces and pounds.
- Economizer: minimum outdoor air CFM per ASHRAE 62.1 concepts.
