ASHRAE 110 Test Kit
 A fume hood is a local ventilation device designed to eliminate or minimize exposure to hazardous fumes, dust or other airborne particulates. Basically, the fume hood provides an area where a technician can safely work with certain hazardous materials. The fume hood is designed to contain and vent all dangerous vapors and particulates away from the worker. A typical fume hood will undergo quality testing by the manufacturer, but it is also necessary to test the fume hood in its installed state and to periodically make sure the hood is performing correctly to limit human exposure to airborne hazards. ASHRAE 110-1995 is the current industry accepted standard for this testing procedure.
Kanomax provides all the components for tracer gas testing except the actual tracer gas itself. Our dif-kit is made of durable and reliable stainless steel components to the specifications of drawing 110-83M. Our test-manikin includes an adjustable stand so you can easily position it at the correct height for the ASHRAE 110 test.

Innovative Solutions for HERS Raters
 HERS is a scale of how much energy a home consumes.A standard new home is 100 on the scale, and a zero-energy home is a 0; older homes are likely to have a rating higher than 100 unless they've been retrofitted to reduce energy consumption. The lower the rating is the more energy efficient your home is, so a lower score is more desirable. Having a lower energy home will save you money on your utility bills and depending on where you live it may also qualify you for a tax credit or rebate. To determine the confirmed rating of your home it is necessary for a certified RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) contractor to perform some tests. The HERS rating covers many factors including insulation, window efficiency, water heating system and heating and cooling system efficiency. Each part has a test or tests to determine the efficiency of the home and the total result determines the score. For the purpose of this article we're going to focus on the heating and cooling system efficiency tests as Kanomax has several instruments to help a contractor perform these. Our TABmaster model 6715 is approved for HERS testing by the CEC (California Energy Commission). |
