GeoDesigner 3.1.04 Overview
Revision 3.1.04 extends the system design and analysis capabilities of GeoDesigner to the leading edge of modern residential heating and cooling technology. Advanced features such as variable-speed fans and two-stage operation are now available for all system types, including geothermal, furnaces, air conditioners, or air-to-air heat pumps. GeoDesigner 3.1.04 also includes the latest models for each system, including those utilizing alternative refrigerants, and now offers the choice of the appropriate indoor coil combination and outdoor coil condition for air-source units. In addition, hydronic capabilities have been added for geothermal systems, including a dedicated water heating option.
GeoDesigner, in revision 3.1, has been upgraded to 32 bit. This provides better Windows and Windows XP compatibility, larger and easier to use screen views, longer file names, enhanced directory browsing, and faster calculation speed. GeoDesigner 3.1.04 is backward compatible with project files that have been saved with prior versions.
Major new capabilities of GeoDesigner 3.1.04 are:
- Geothermal selections now include over 100 models, including the exciting new Tranquility 27™ series, Genesis GSW series water-to-water units at three distribution temperature ranges, Genesis Indoor and Outdoor splits mated with variable-speed furnaces or air handlers, and the Genesis GR line.
- Furnace and auxiliary heat choices now include over 25 selections ranging from 65 to 93 percent in efficiency for fossil fuels, plus three for electric resistance, with options for variable-speed fans and two-stages of capacity. Any of these selections can be combined with a single or two-stage geothermal or air-to-air heat pump with a choice to either supplement or override the primary system. The complicated effects of up to four stages of operation can be accurately analyzed.
- Air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps are now offered in standard SEER ratings from 8 to 18, with options for variable-speed fans and two-stages of capacity. Because manufacturers typically provide ARI ratings for a number of different indoor blower and coil combinations, the standard SEER rating can now be fine-tuned by selecting the most appropriate match. In addition, the effects of the condition of the outdoor coil can be included, based upon the results of a study of air-to-air units by the California Energy Commission to determine the impact on system performance.
- A dedicated (stand-alone) geothermal water heating option is now available for all system types.
GeoDesigner 3.1.04 incorporates all of these new capabilities, yet retains the accuracy and ease of use for which it is well known. There simply is no other software program for residential system sizing, design, and comparisons that comes close.
