Carmelsoft was awarded new software development contracts from SMACNA, the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association.

Carmelsoft will be developing two new websites including:

Online Ductulator
This online ductulator will include the following functionality:
  1. Users can size simple duct runs based on airflow, velocity, pressure loss, or initial duct dimensions and shape
  2. Outputs include actual/rounded sizes for all 3 duct shapes, actually airflows, velocities, and pressure losses.
  3. Outputs are generated as web, Excel, or PDF reports.
  4. Users can enter ambient air parameters such as outside air, relative humidity, elevation, and more.
  5. Users can register and login to store projects and revisit them later on
Exhaust Design
The exhaust design website will allow the user to do the following:
  1. Includes the ability to draw a single-line exhaust duct schematic within the web interface.
  2. Allows for overall system input parameters: air properties, outside temperatures, relative humidity, and more
  3. Allows for 50 SMACNA duct fitting and hood inputs along with loss coefficients, duct lengths, friction losses, and more.
  4. Outputs included sized-ductwork and fittings, section pressure losses, system pressure losses, total airflow, total velocity and more.
  5. Outputs will also include pressure drops and components by section and total the pressure drops for each path thereby allowing the user to determine the critical path.
  6. Includes ability to generated HTML and Excel reports
Both websites allow for IP and SI units. The websites will be live in Spring 2023.
