HVAC Duct Traverse

As an HVAC consultant, accurately measuring airflow in duct systems is essential for optimizing performance. A duct traverse is a fundamental skill for obtaining precise air velocity and volume flow measurements. This involves placing instruments like a pitot tube or hot-wire anemometer across the duct's cross-section and taking readings at intervals to calculate average air velocity. Mastering this technique helps diagnose airflow issues, ensures system efficiency, and verifies design compliance, making it a critical tool in your HVAC expertise.

Terminal Flow Measurement

Terminal flow measurement is a critical skill for HVAC consultants responsible for ensuring the efficient operation of air distribution systems. This process involves accurately measuring the airflow rate at the terminal units—such as diffusers, grilles, or registers—where conditioned air enters a space. Using specialized instruments like flow hoods, balometers, or anemometers, consultants can verify that the designed airflow rates are being delivered to specific zones, ensuring comfort, energy efficiency, and proper system balance. Mastering terminal flow measurement enables HVAC consultants to diagnose performance issues, optimize system settings, and provide data-driven recommendations for maintaining or improving overall system efficiency. This expertise is vital for delivering high-quality results in both residential and commercial HVAC projects.

Hydronic System Balancing

Hydronic system balancing is a key process for HVAC consultants tasked with optimizing the performance of heating and cooling systems that rely on water circulation. By ensuring the correct flow of water through each terminal unit, consultants can achieve even distribution of heat or cooling across all zones, enhancing comfort, efficiency, and system reliability. Learning about hydronic system balancing involves mastering the use of balancing valves, flow meters, and pressure gauges to make precise adjustments. With proper balancing, HVAC consultants can diagnose uneven heating, eliminate noise, reduce energy consumption, and extend the lifespan of system components, ensuring their clients receive maximum value from their systems.

PM2.5 Versus PM10

Why They Sometimes Read the Same and What it Means for Commercial Indoor Air Quality

PM2.5 Versus PM10

Why They Sometimes Read the Same and What it Means for Commercial Indoor Air Quality

Particulate matter (PM) is a serious air pollutant that can have detrimental effects on human health. PM can be classified based on size, with PM2.5 and PM10 being the most commonly measured. However, it's not uncommon to see the same readings for PM2.5 and PM10, particularly indoors. Read on to explore why this is the case and what it means for air quality inside your building.

Using MERV 13+ Filters May Minimize Virus Spread

Filtration traps particulates, which plays a key role in helping minimize the spread of the virus to areas of the building served by the HVAC system and ductwork. Research shows that the particle size of SARS-CoV-2 is approximately 0.1 micrometer (µm). However, the virus particles are human-generated, and when exhaled, the virus will be attached to the respiratory droplets that are larger than the individual virus.
