Update history​​

CYPEHVAC

In VRF systems, when the external unit is a combined unit, the control diagram now displays its components as separate units.

To analyse R32 refrigerant leaks, in the general settings, users can choose whether the program automatically places R32 detectors wherever necessary, or whether they are selected manually for each indoor unit. Furthermore, when an internal unit already has a factory-installed R32 detector, it is marked and blocked on the panel to make it easier for users to understand.

The analysis report for air handling units (AHUs) has been added.

As of version 2026.b, project files are automatically associated with the corresponding CYPE app in the Windows environment. This means that you simply double-click on the file to open it directly in the appropriate program, without having to select it manually. This improvement streamlines the workflow and provides a smoother and more efficient user experience.

CYPEHVAC now includes combined thermal and acoustic analysis in ducts. This feature can simultaneously evaluate the heat transfer and acoustic performance of the installation, displaying the results using colour maps that facilitate quick and intuitive interpretation of the system's overall performance.

Entering systems in CYPEHVAC is now more intuitive thanks to new tools (extend/trim, regenerate and delete connections), improvements in tags, references and colour configuration.

As of version 2026.b, CYPEHVAC can configure the design by systems, choose between optimal or corrective designs, and apply specific criteria (speed, pressure, dimensions). In addition, the design of water emitters has been incorporated, expanding the analysis possibilities in projects.

The connection between CYPEHVAC and the Open BIM Database allows cylinders and air-source heat pump units to be incorporated with their technical and economic data. This information is used both for the analysis and to obtain the final cost of the project.

PANASONIC products have been incorporated into CYPEHVAC. To use them in the program, they must be loaded through the "Catalogue management" option, available in the "Project" group.

The program can now model duct insulation. To do so, the new "Insulation" box is now available in the rigid duct input window. The defined insulation can be external or internal. This is only possible if the downloaded manufacturer's catalogues include this type of element.

New units have been incorporated for the definition of 1x1 split-type direct expansion systems in CYPEHVAC, including the possibility of inserting indoor units with ducted distribution.

New options have been added to improve the ergonomics of the data entry process in the program: improvements in the "Modify height position" option, saving the configuration of "Force elevation" when entering each type of element in the work area, modification of the orientation of the equipment when entering them by pressing the "Space" key and implementing of the new "Vertical pipe" option in the "Direct expansion" group.
