DUCTLINK

DUCTLINK is a productivity enhancement tool that greatly simplifies the traditional process of designing and drawing HVAC duct systems. DUCTLINK substantially reduces HVAC duct design and drafting time by providing a unique interface between your CAD system and Carrier's DUCT DESIGN program. DUCTLINK's innovative approach involves four easy steps:

  1. Make a single-line sketch of the proposed duct layout in your CAD system. Save it in .DXF format.
  2. Use DUCTLINK to read information about the duct system from the CAD drawing file.
  3. Use DUCTLINK to run the duct design calculations on the duct system.
  4. Use DUCTLINK to produce a new .DXF file which contains a finished double-line drawing of the duct system.

In keeping with industry standards, DUCTLINK is based on the latest ASHRAE & SMACNA design procedures. The program contains C-values for all commonly used fittings, or, as a special feature, you may enter your own. DUCTLINK will automatically calculate sizes for lined duct, as well as indicate which circuits need balancing and the amount of balancing required. This feature will allow you to offer your client the optimal duct system.
