A Removable Micromanomter and Bluetooth are Standard Features in the New 6715
Get Ready for the Spring/Summer HVAC Season with the New 6715 Capture Hood

 
The TABmaster model 6710 has been a popular new offering as it's an economical unit with excellent accuracy. We're expanding it by adding a new version of the TABmaster, the model 6715, with many advanced features.

 

The first feature is the addition of a removable handheld micromanometer with Bluetooth® wireless capability. Using the base meter that goes with the TABmaster it's now possible to take airflow and pressure readings with a pitot tube (airflow range of 0.15 to 40 m/s +/- 3%; Pressure measurements from -2500 to 2500 Pa +/- 0.25%, with high resolution) or the optional velocity matrix (range of 0.15 to 15 m/s with a 3% accuracy). The matrix is a cross shaped grid, similar to the one in the base of the capture hood, that makes it possible to take face velocity readings and average velocity readings at multiple points simultaneously. The Bluetooth® feature can send data to your smartphone or any Android-based device. When used in conjunction with our wheeled, extendable stand this allows a contractor to sample air at a ceiling duct without the need to get on a ladder to read the meter.

Application Story: Data Center Cleaning
Adding Value to Data Center Cleaning Services with Handheld Particle Counters

3887

When we talk about particle counters most of the time we focus on cleanrooms and other controlled environments, but there are many other applications where counting particulates is desirable.  These include IAQ investigation, filter testing and other applications like this month featured story: Data Center Cleaning.

 

In addition to temperature and humidity, particulates can also cause damage to sensitive equipment in a data center. As dust accumulates on circuit boards it reduces the cooling efficiency of the components and may cause overheating issues. A good ventilation system that creates positive pressure inside a data center can help control the amount of particulates that the equipment is exposed to, and periodic cleaning by a professional can also help control particulate levels and prevent problems from developing.

 

The 3887 handheld particle counter can be an invaluable tool for Data Center Cleaning companies trying to sell or show the value of their services.

Product Spotlight: CEGRIT Automatic Flyash Sampler
Isokinetic Sampling for Particle Emission Testing

 

The CEGRIT sampler for coal-fired boilers collects fly ash samples that are constantly available for visual inspection by operating personnel and for laboratory analysis. Your CEGRIT samplers can help you achieve these benefits:

  

 

  • Produce high-quality flyash for sale
  • Assess mercury capture by flyash
  • Optimize combustion for minimum NOx emissions
  • Save fuel by minimizing excess air while controlling carbon losses
  • Minimize labor involved in routinely sampling flyash
  • Avoid sample bias and time lag involved in hopper or ash-line sampling

The CEGRIT kit is supplied with basic sampling system, 110- or 220- volt heater jacket (if appropriate; see below), probe, inlet nozzle, and sample jars. This is everything you need to start sampling after installation on the duct. At least 1" WG draft [negative duct pressure] is normally needed (if duct pressure is positive an adapter is available for an additional charge and requires a tiny amount of plant compressed air), and flue gas temperature at the sampling point can be up to 1000°F - either upstream or downstream of an air preheater. When you install your sampler, the ejector nozzle area is easily adjusted to establish isokinetic flow, using a water manometer (not supplied) or other differential pressure-measuring device temporarily to indicate flow through the CEGRIT.

 

Since the CEGRIT was invented in England in 1962, thousands of these flyash samplers have been installed worldwide.
