Instruments for HVAC: Preventing problems with the best technologies

 HVAC, which stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, is an undeniably important aspect of modern homes and buildings. Through a series of ducts, an HVAC system will distribute either warmed, cooled or even dehumidified air to every room.

HVAC, which stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, is an undeniably important aspect of modern homes and buildings. Through a series of ducts, an HVAC system will distribute either warmed, cooled or even dehumidified air to every room.

They’re useful systems, but it is important to consider the effect they will have on the environments they’re heating or cooling. Humidity and temperature can cause a number of problems if not regulated correctly, and this is where specialised tools come into play.

With the right equipment, it becomes possible to maintain the correct climate throughout a building and identify any temperature or humidity changes quickly and easily.

testo Saveris 2

With Saveris 2, temperature and humidity values are recorded by wireless data loggers and then transmitted to the testo Cloud. Then, you’re able to access this data wherever you need to using a mobile app or through a web browser. This information is also stored securely, and you can permit who is able to access it.

Wireless data loggers can be placed in a number of different rooms, making Saveris 2 as useful for monitoring the humidity in a pharmacy as it is for keeping an eye on the temperature in a data centre.

testo 480

When portability is required, the testo 480 is the tool for the job. This system allows you to measure air flow in HVAC ducts, conduct temperature tests in various rooms and investigate pressure differences. It’s also possible to view carbon dioxide levels. The testo 480 is a single device, with no need to carry around heavy equipment.

A number of optional probes can further enhance the functionality of the testo 480, for example testing indoor air quality (this probe also features a tripod), illuminance and turbulence.

testo 420

The testo 420 is a flow hood designed to be precise and easy to operate. It makes it easy to measure volume flows at supplies and returns. A large display that’s backlit and removable means users will have little trouble seeing the readings. Bluetooth functionality, on the other hand, means seamless connection with an app to make monitoring and reporting as easy as possible.

Thermal imaging

Testo have a range of thermal imaging cameras available, from the 870 to the 890. These cameras feature displays with excellent resolutions and superb sensitivity. They’re an invaluable tool when assessing HVAC systems.
