Anemomaster Lite Commercial
|
 Here's a video of our Anemomaster Lite featured in a Japanese commercial. The consultant is using it to check the the air curtain between smoking and non-smoking sections in a restaurant.
This is a great example of how versatile these instruments can be. Most people think of HVAC contracting or laboratory testing when you talk about anemometers, but the meters can add value to any device such as this smoke curtain. The manufacturer can certify the equipment works prior to installing it and a consultant can check its performance in the field at a later date. Do you have a unique application or service you add value to with an anemometer or particle counter? If so we'd love to hear from you. Your business might even end up featured in our next newsletter!

Summer is winding down in the U.S. and the kids are back in school. Fall is the perfect time to have your HVAC system and ducts checked out before you need to turn on the heat.
This month we have a couple articles about mold remediation and testing, adjusting and balancing as well as a feature article on the Dust Sentry.

Product Spotlight: Multi-channel Anemometers
|
Powerful and Efficient Data Gathering for Research and Design Applications
 Multi-channel Anemometers are a flexible tool for gathering large amounts of data accurately and efficiently. They are particularly useful in the automotive, transportation and architectural industries, but can also be used for thermal testing of semiconductor boards. The applications are diverse and interesting enough that it's challenging to cover them in a small article, but a few examples include: - Aerodynamic testing for many vehicles including planes, cars and trains
- Automotive: engine in-take, exhaust, defroster, cabin comfort
- Thermal properties of semiconductor boards in PCs and other electronics
- Civil Engineering: wind tunnel testing of scale models and sympathetic vibration testing for tall buildings
Kanomax offers 4 instruments for multi-channel measurements. Model 1570 is a fixed 4-channel anemometer; while models 1550 and 1560 are modular systems. Our airflow transducer model 6332/D can also be used to gather simultaneous measurements at multiple fixed points and send the results to a datalogger via analog output for analysis. Links

Application Feature: Mold Remediation
|
Mold Investigation with Handheld Particle Counters
 The model 3887 3-channel handheld particle counter is useful for cleanroom certifications and spot checks, but it can also be a handy tool for mold remediation projects. This gets a little tricky, because if you're familiar with particle counters you are no doubt aware that they only count particles, they don't classify the type of particle (other then by size), so how can it be used to detect mold?  The answer: If you take the particle counter into an area that you suspect may have a mold problem you can use it to 'screen' the area by taking a count for a set duration in suspect places. By comparing the counts in each area you can identify the area that has the highest concentration of particles. This then becomes the place for the start of an in-depth investigation. This technique can save time by pinpointing likely spots that are contaminated with mold. The counter can also be used to spot check the performance of PHEAF filters to make sure they are containing the mold particles during the remediation process and not redistributing them back into the air.

Product Feature: Dust Sentry
|
Flexible and Affordable Outdoor Dust Monitoring
 More than just a dust monitor, the Dust Sentry is a certified dust monitoring system that can be expanded to measure noise, wind, and weather - delivering alerts and data in real-time via a web-based data acquisition system. The Dust Sentry is a flexible monitoring platform that can be configured for many different applications: construction, waste, mining, transportation, consultancy and research. Select particle sizes from TSP, PM10, PM2.5, and PM1. Plug in noise, wind, and weather sensors directly to the auxiliary module. Mount the Dust Sentry on a wall, on a pole or a tripod. Choose mains, battery, or solar power. Then communicate with your Dust Sentry via RS232, 4-20mA, relay, GSM/GPRS modem, or a web-based data acquisition system.
