value

Super heat measurement is a critical one for HVAC applications. It is calculated as the difference between the refrigerants boiling temperature at a given pressure in the evaporator and the refrigerant gas temperature as it leaves the evaporator. Use this measurement to properly adjust the amount of refrigerant in the cooling system. In a worst-case scenario with an over-charged system and a low indoor heat load, the refrigerant in the evaporator moves into the compressor still in liquid form quickly destroying it. An under-charged system, on the other hand, is inefficient and doesnt cool properly.

IR temperature:

a few basic rules for quick, accurate measurements.

Instead of perching on a ladder or crawling on your hands and knees to take a temperature measurement, often you can just point and shoot with an IR thermometer. Use Amprobes new IR-500 or the IR-608A to check supply and return registers, find leaky or broken ducting, map temperatures, check compressor lines and much more. To make sure you get the most accurate measurements with an IR thermometers follow these basic guidelines: Get as close as safely possible to your target. Know the distance-to-spot ratio for the thermometer. The measured area of the spot grows larger the further you stand from the target. If you need to measure a reflective target, such as a copper pipe, mask it with flat black paint or black tape. IR thermometers calculate the surface temperature of an object by measuring the amount of energy emitted. Shiner reflective objects, such as copper pipe, have excess emissivity that can skew your temperature measurement. Look around for nearby reflective sources that might reflect indoor lights or sun on your target. They can interfere with your measurements. Experiment with several angles to best capture the reading and mitigate reflected energy.

that their chocolate products are inconsistent and unappealing. A small variation in humidity goes unnoticed in a home or commercial office environment, but in critical processes it can ruin a product, interrupt a process or cause systems to malfunction. In the case of chocolate, too much moisture causes a whitish discoloration, and temperature extremes result in an ugly, oily texture.

Maintenance personnel suspect that the humidity sensors mounted in the ceiling are reading incorrectly and affecting humidity control in the lab. A contractor with humidity control experience is called in to help solve the problem. Ron uses a test tool with temperature, humidity and logging capabilities to log measurements once an hour at each of the labs four humidity

sensors. He also checks the temperature sensors that control the package units. As Ron compares the package readings to the logged data, he finds that calibration is off between 5% and 9% RH. Once the sensors are replaced and re-checked, humidity and temperature return to the proper levels and the complaints stop. The chocolate is perfection again. 9

How Ventilation, AC, and Refrigeration Heating,voltage testers work

and how to pick the right one.
Your partner just bought one of those pen-shaped ac voltage detectors. He calls it a tick-tracer. He must like it because he carries it with him wherever he goes. He says it can detect live ac voltage inside an insulated wire, find an open neutral in a branch circuit, or in some cases, spot a bad ground connection for a metal enclosure. How does this thing work anyway? Capacitive coupling AC voltage detectors work on the principle of capacitive coupling. A capacitor has two conductors or plates separated by a non-conductor called a dielectric. If we connect an ac voltage across the two conductors, an ac current will flow as electrons are alternately attracted or repelled by the voltage on the opposite plate. Even though theres no hard-wired circuit connection, the electrical field inside the capacitor between the two plates completes the ac circuit. Matching AC Voltage detectors to applications Not all AC voltage detectors are created equal. Most are specified for a specific sensing range and sensitivity levels. Some are designed to for lower voltage control circuit applications such as those found in HVAC, others for residential or industrial environments. AC detectors have different means of alerting users to whether voltage is present or not. Some use visual stimulation, such as the tip lights, an audible tone, or both. The battery power source also varies. Some use standard, readily available AA or AAA sizes batteries. Others require watch style batteries, which may be difficult to find when you need them the most. AC detectors are handy! Just consider what youll need for your job requirements and environment.

stray voltage
and what to do about it.

The most common place to encounter stray voltage is in unused cable runs or electrical wiring in existing conduit. When buildings are built and wired, electricians often pull extra wire through and leave it unconnected for future use.

the circuit measurements. When dealing with capacitive coupling, however, a high impedance meter between ground or neutral to the unconnected cable or open connection will indicate some amount of voltage present. This measured voltage reading may be as high as 50% of the energized voltage in the same proximity. Is this voltage real? Yes, but its a static

voltage, containing no real energy or current flow. Yet this stray voltage reading presents a real source of confusion. Is the connection really hot or not? The PM55-A solves this problem. Designed with a high impedance function, the multimeter provides a low impedance load to the measured circuit, desensitizing the meter to low energy, spurious sources of interference. If the

measurement points are energized with a hard voltage, the meter will simply display the voltage reading. If the measurement points contain a stray or ghost voltage, the meter will read very close to zero volts, indicating the circuit or connection is not energized.

As good as new
Retro-commissioning is the missing link for improving HVAC plant performance.
Commissioning plant systems such as boilers, chillers, towers and pump systems, used to be a one-time event. But as organizations look for ways to keep building performance high and operational costs low, on-going and retro-commissioning is becoming part of a best-practices regimen. On-going commissioning can take advantage of the features of modern Building Automation Systems (BAS). The self-tuning controls of these systems, however, often cover up poorly operating mechanical systems. So both BAS and non-BAS buildings need to be regularly inspected and calibrated. If the building equipment was never properly commissioned in the first place, a retro-commissioning is in order to evaluate, baseline and make changes to maximize system efficiency. Older building with fewer or older controls will require more footwork, measurement, analysis and often equipment upgrades. start with preventative maintenance: Measure voltage, current, phase and temperature of electrical equipment and compare to those previously recorded to determine changes in sequence and operation Change filters and measure pressure drop of filter banks Check RPM of motor-driven equipment of pumps and fans to look for drive problems. Next calibrate critical sensors wired to building automation controls. Sensors that are even a few units out of calibration will cause systems to consume excessive energy. If you dont have an automated system, log temperature, pressure and humidity values and compare to ASHRAE or other comfort standards. Check energy consumption for each piece of equipment with a portable power logger. For example, compare the amp draw and voltage of a refrigeration compressor against the previous baseline. An increase in power consumption could be due to leaks, restricted flow, dirt or deteriorating electrical windings. Check air, water, and steam flow rates with data loggers or field calibrators. Change in flow rates could indicate a fouled heat exchanger, piping, or pump problems. Check air, water and steam pressures and compare to BAS equipment readings and design values to identify efficiency loss. Also measure pressure drops across filters and RPM of fans and pumps. Measure indoor air quality values such as CO2 PPM and correct deteriorations. 16

The Tach 20 includes six adapters, a surface speed wheel for contact RPM measurement and an infrared beam function for non-contact measurements.
