NeoTherm Consulting develops a calculation software dedicated to the refrigeration and HVAC industry : RefriHVAC

In this field, refrigeration specialists or business managers often use Excel tools developed internally. These tools are extremely time consuming to create, difficult to use and to maintain (obsolescence of the macro language, loss of knowledge due to the departure of the developer).

NeoTherm Consulting offers a tool designed specifically for the refrigeration and HVAC industry entirely FREE !

 

Complete & free download of RefriHVAC software

RefriHVAC is a calculation software dedicated to the refrigeration and HVAC industry. This version is complete and it is distributed for free by NeoTherm Consulting.        

This software is your tool for business calculations and allows you to do :

Refrigeration cycle calculations

  • Single-stage cycle (with or without intermediate heat exchanger/saver, with or without liquid injection)

  • Two-stage cycle (total or partial liquid injection, with or without intermediate exchanger/saver)

  • Transcritical CO2 cycle (with or without intercooler/saver)

  • Transcritical CO2 booster cycle

  • Cascade cycle
