    Best Android and IPhone apps for HVACR

    Originally, I wanted to hear from several techs here about which PT chart App they liked for android phones, but why not expand that to include all HVACR phone apps so we have it all in one spot?

    First, which PT chart app do you like for android?

    How about an ap that calcs cfm air flow/lbs./pints of moisture removed from air. Handy for humidification/dehumidification performance. Also dew point/grains/%RH conversion. Its for Iphone from Ultra-Aire.
    No charge.

    Bear Rules: Keep our home <50% RH summer, controls mites/mold and very comfortable.
    Provide 60-100 cfm of fresh air when occupied to purge indoor pollutants and keep window dry during cold weather. T-stat setup/setback +8 hrs. saves energy
    Use +Merv 10 air filter. -Don't forget the "Golden Rule"

    Others have recommended Bitzer for a PT chart. Johnstone has a free app with PT chart, Duct and Capillary sizer.

    Which of the load calcs do you use? I found HVAC Residential Load Calcs for $34.99, HVAC Buddy Load Calc for $38.99, HVAC Quick Load for $6.99 and HVAC Load Plus for $24.99
    I don 't want to buy all of them.

    Emerson P-T Pro is good. Danfoss has several good apps.

    RTFM Thermostat app. It has almost every manual for almost every thermostat. If they don't have just email them and they will have it in the next update.

    I use the Bitzer app. I like all the additional info on there as well. Such as oil types, color code, and ODP levels.

    I agree with the Johnstone, Bitzer and Emerson comments for a good PT Chart. All are pretty easy to use and pretty solid. It mainly comes to the user interface you like best.
    It is particularly nice to get the exact temperature for the exact pressure or vice versus and not have to go up or down a point or two because your PT Chart Card doesn't have the exact same number that you are seeing.

    Do any of you use a PT Calculator for subcooling and superheat? If so, which ones do you like?

    Yes, but they don't compensate for daylight savings time.
