Hygrova

Air-handling design you can audit.

Hygrova is air-handling unit (AHU) design and psychrometric calculation software from Hathigen. Every number shows its formula, inputs and reference, with mass and energy balance checks at every stage and an interactive psychrometric chart. It also writes the control sequence and a PLC programme (Structured Text), shows the unit as a schematic and a 3D model, and handles multi-AHU projects with VAV and part load. It runs offline on Windows.

Signed by Hathigen Technologies

Our apps are code-signed, so Windows names the publisher as Hathigen Technologies. The certificate is new, so for a short while Windows may still say “Windows protected your PC”. If it does, click More info, check the publisher is Hathigen Technologies, then Run anyway. On company PCs, your IT team may need to allow it.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Click-to-trace calculations

Click any number to see its formula, the values substituted in, the assumptions and the reference, then walk back to the raw inputs. Mass and energy balances are checked at every stage.

Interactive psychrometric chart

See every state point and process line plotted live as you change the design, in SI or IP units.

Control logic and PLC programme

A recommended control strategy for the train: sequence of operation, control modes with their thresholds, an I/O schedule, logic diagrams and a PLC programme in Structured Text.

3D model and schematic

A cut-away schematic and a 3D model of the unit. Air colour follows the calculated temperature, condensate appears only when water is removed, and heaters glow with their duty.

Multi-AHU projects, VAV and part load

One project holds every AHU in the building, with an AHU schedule, plant totals and diversity. Variable-air-volume units are also designed at minimum flow.

Envelope sweep and verification

Sweep a range of outdoor and room conditions, size each component at its governing case, then check supplier capacities against it.

Quick calculators

Twelve site checks on the same validated property functions: air state from any two properties, airflow volume to mass, humidity-sensor cross-check and more.

Sample projects

Ready-made projects to learn from: office floor with VAV, operating theatre, pharmacy dry store, cleanroom ISO 7, a whole hospital block and extreme climates.

Complete component library

Mixing, filtration, heat recovery, cooling and dehumidification, desiccant wheels, heating, humidification, fans, ducts and room loads.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Hygrova?
Hygrova is air-handling unit (AHU) design and psychrometric calculation software from Hathigen. You assemble the unit from components, see the full process on an interactive psychrometric chart, and click any result to trace it back to its formula, inputs and reference. It checks mass and energy balances at every stage, writes the control sequence and a PLC programme, shows the unit in 3D, and exports print-ready PDF reports.
Does Hygrova write the control logic?
Yes. For the current train it recommends a control strategy: the sequence of operation, the control modes and the thresholds that choose them, operation across outdoor conditions, an I/O schedule, logic diagrams and a PLC programme in Structured Text. Hygrova’s validation runs the generated programme against a simple plant for eleven train types.
Can one project hold several AHUs?
Yes. A project is a building or job with any number of AHUs, each with its own design cases. The AHU schedule lists every unit’s airflow, supply condition and duties, with plant totals and a diversity factor. Variable-air-volume units are also designed at their minimum flow, where reheat and room humidity are usually decided.
Is Hygrova the same as Psychra?
Yes. Psychra was renamed Hygrova in November 2026. It is the same AHU design and psychrometric calculation software from Hathigen, and projects made with Psychra open unchanged.
What software is there for AHU psychrometric design?
Common choices are building-load software, manufacturer selection tools and spreadsheets. Hygrova is a vendor-neutral option focused on the AHU process itself: mixing, filtration, heat recovery, cooling and dehumidification, heating, humidification, fans, ducts and room loads, with every number traceable, through to the control logic. It runs offline on Windows, in SI or IP units.
Can I use Hygrova to check a supplier’s AHU design?
Yes. Hygrova recalculates every air state, coil load and airflow from first principles, so you can see where safety margins have been stacked on top of each other. Enter the supplier’s offered capacities and fan curve, and Hygrova checks them against every design case. Because every number is traceable, the supplier can check the working too.
How much does Hygrova cost, and is there a free trial?
Hygrova costs RM 1,000 per engineer per year, with everything included: control logic and PLC export, multi-AHU projects, VAV and the calculators, plus updates and support. There is a 14-day free trial of the full version.
Where do the formulas come from?
Each calculation carries its own reference to standard engineering sources, shown right next to the result. Air properties are validated against PsychroLib (ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals), and the process against published ASHRAE worked examples.
Does it replace manufacturer selection software?
Hygrova designs and checks the process independently of any manufacturer. You can then use any supplier’s tools to select equipment that meets it, and check their offer in Hygrova.
Does it need installation?
No. Hygrova is one program file for Windows 10 and 11. It runs without installing and without administrator rights.
