HVAC Systems

Hydronic systems are rigorous and have strict flow metering requirements that commercial and industrial facilities must meet. When measuring energy within a closed loop system, flow meters are essential for maintaining long term accuracy, reliability and repeatability within chiller, chilled water systems, thermal energy tank systems, boilers, cooling towers, pumps and other asset operations.

Saturated steam is a leading heat source within the building design and construction industry. With flow measurement in place, facilities managers can measure steam delivery by monitoring when capacity is exhausted or taxed, manage seasonal and operational demand, and identify leaks and evaporation amounts. Flow monitors can also measure steam units in mass units, allowing building owners to use the accumulated steam usage to bill customers for excess steam production.

Geothermal systems are growing in popularity due to their reliable and consistent operation and the fact that they offer a significant reduction in operating costs. Regulating temperature by heat transference, these systems require constant measurement to monitor flow rates, water loss and energy use, making flow monitors crucial. Facilities managers invest in flow meters to closely monitor their system, ensuring optimum operation.

Water quality monitoring is becoming ever-more important within the HVAC industry to ensure the health and longevity of HVAC systems. Continuous online monitoring of critical parameters within open and closed loop systems replaces the need for costly spot checks and allows facilities managers to both prevent and detect corrosion, along with other system failures, ahead of time.

Optimizing HVAC systems with sustainable technologies is essential for improving energy efficiency, identifying inefficiencies and enhancing overall system performance. Through the integration of advanced monitoring and control systems, HVAC operations can run at peak efficiency, helping to reduce energy consumption and minimize operational costs.

Retrofitting HVAC systems with advanced technologies improves system performance and energy efficiency while meeting system requirements and regulations. Through the use of flow and BTU energy meters, water quality monitoring, and integrated communication tools, building operators can optimize performance across the entire system lifecycle—from new construction to retrofit projects.

Proactive asset management and control is possible with continuous, real-time data, securely transferred to building management systems or the cloud. Make informed decisions about asset capacity and maintenance to increase equipment lifespan and improve efficiency.

Accurate water and energy measurements, along with water quality monitoring, streamline costs and reduce system maintenance expenses, creating sustainable and cost-effective systems.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure, so take control of your HVAC systems. Our wide variety of metering and water quality products leverage integrated data to help you effectively monitor operations, enhance efficiency levels, optimize system performance and increase savings.

Continuous water quality monitoring of pressure, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen (DO)  is vital to ensure the health and longevity of HVAC systems, avoiding costly repairs and preventing corrosion.
