Free HVAC Engineering Calculators

Five sizing tools our sales engineers use every day — actuator torque, control valve Cv / Kv, hydronic flow & ΔT, analog signal scaling and sensor range selection. No sign-up, nothing stored.

Electric Valve Cv / Kv Calculator

Work out the flow coefficient a control valve needs, or start from the coil heat load and water ΔT. Returns required Cv and Kv, the nearest standard valve size and the pressure drop you will actually get.

Sensor Range & Output Selector

Choose the application and the band you need to measure, and get a standard range, the right sensor element, the output signal to specify and where to mount it — for temperature, differential pressure, humidity and CO₂.

How to use these tools

Each calculator recalculates as you type, so you can see immediately how a wider damper, a lower pressure class or a smaller ΔT changes the result. Everything happens in your browser — no data is submitted or stored.

They are preliminary sizing aids. The damper, valve or coil manufacturer's own published data always governs the final selection; our engineering team is happy to check a selection against the actual duty. See the method notes on each page for the formulas and assumptions used.
