Get Psyched

Psychrometric Worksheet
ver 2.0

focus on energy
This sheet will allow you to do psychrometric calculations in Excel and plot your
results on a psych chart. The spreadsheet formulas are based on ASHRAE
correlations and are accurate to more decimal places than you can read off a psych
chart.
Overview
The Get Psyched software includes two basic parts:
1) The Add-In (PSYCH.XLA)
The add-in allows you to do psychrometric calculations in any Excel spreadsheet.
After you have installed the add-in you can use psychrometric functions in
calculations just like you use other functions in Excel. For more information on how
to use the functions, see the help file.
2) The Spreadsheet Template (PSYCH.XLT & PSYCH_SI.XLT)
The spreadsheet template (this file) uses the add-in functions to create a
psychrometric chart. The chart can be easily customized for any altitude. The
template also includes some example calculations and an easy method for adding
your own data to the psych chart. You can use the spreadsheet template as a
starting point for your own spreadsheets. For more information on how to use the
template, see the help file. The template is available in IP units (PSYCH.XLT) and
metric (SI) units (PSYCH_SI.XLT).

These are the properties that you can calculate with the
Psychrometric Function Library:
Enthalpy [Btu/lb]
Dewpoint Temperature [F]
Relative Humidity [%]
Humidity Ratio [lbs H2O per lb dry air or grains]
Specific Volume [ft^3 per lb]
Wet Bulb Temperature [F]

Sheet Template
You can use this sheet as a starting point for your worksheet.
It is important that you you do not delete the cell named "Pressure" (in grey).
This is a named variable that is used throughout the workbook.You can move it if you like and
delete any other elements on the page (including this text box). You can also rename this sheet.
There is also a table below that is used to look up the atmospheric pressure based on the
altitude. You can delete it if you override the lookup function and enter the pressure yourself.

Note that if you change the altitude, the relative humidity labels may need to be repositioned on
the graph. You can see correct labels for the lines by holding the pointer over them.

Instructions:
Add the points that you want to
plot to any of the three tables.
Choose which table to use
based on the variables that
you know. The tables
correspond to the three
situations listed in the
examples. Clear the data in
the other tables so that only
your data is displayed.
You can insert rows as needed
if you need to plot more points.
Note that you need at least 2
points for the plot to appear on
the graph. You can list the
same point twice if you only
want to show one point.
