Refrigeration load calculation software for hotels and catering

LTS Studio 3D — the design module inside Low Temp Desk — gives hospitality refrigeration contractors a heat load calculation that runs while you draw, using the envelope, the product and the usage you entered. It works in banquet walk-ins, blast chillers, bar coolers and ice systems, so the model already speaks your equipment instead of asking you to draw it line by line.

Questions from hotels and catering contractors

Can I use this refrigeration load calculation software for hotels and catering?

Yes. Hospitality refrigeration contractors use LTS Studio 3D on banquet walk-ins, blast chillers, bar coolers and ice systems. The module is built so you stop guessing tonnage from the last job that looked similar.

How does it deal with phased work in a building that never fully closes?

That case is the reason it exists: phased work in a building that never fully closes. BTU/h result shown live next to the model as dimensions change, so the design absorbs the change instead of being redrawn.

Do I need CAD experience or a CAD license?

No. Studio 3D runs in the browser. You enter refrigeration inputs — dimensions, temperature, product, equipment — and the model, the load and the drawing come out of that. Evaporator capacity and condensing unit size suggested from the result.

Does the design connect to the estimate and the job?

Yes. The design lives on the customer and the project, images and takeoffs drop into the estimate, and the approved version stays attached to the work order and the as-built.

What documentation can I hand the customer?

A branded PDF with the 3D view, the plan, dimensions, equipment selection and the load assumptions. Food safety records the property keeps for events — the export is built to sit in that file.
