What is TK Archimede?
Our TK Archimede easily selects the most suitable air-cooled units for your needs, creating the technical data sheet (with technical data and also with prices of units and accessories) that will be processed by the sales department.
A complete software
TK Archimede enables you to select the complete range of ThermoKey’s round tube products and, starting from 2016, also the microchannel condensers.
It is possible to use the software both in check and selection mode:
- In selection mode, before inserting data it is possible to select the type of unit you are interested in: drycoolers, condensers, DX unit coolers, Pump unit coolers or Brine unit coolers. Inside each category the products are further more divided into series and sub-series , following the application field.
- In check mode, you can set filters in capacity, sound level, fan type , etc…. and look for the units which best fit your needs. If you already know the unit you are interested in, in check mode it is possible to modify the thermodynamic parameters both on the air side and the fluid side, and then to add the accessories.
TK Archimede is continuously updated with more and more new features, unit types, accessories and library (fans, refrigerants, fluids and row materials).
