HVAC AIR FLOW CHECK
How it is done?
An air-balancing hood or Air flow hood is the most popular instrument used to verify the performance of an HVAC system and Air balancing used to be a term reserved for the testing and adjusting of commercial HVAC systems. Today, in any HVAC industry, the term air balancing is more accurately applied to HVAC System Diagnostics, Field Measured-Performance Verification, or Installed Efficiency Documentation and Air flow hoods are the best instruments to solve this purpose.
Benefits of HVAC Air flow check
- Increase Energy Efficiency
HVAC system performance is directly related to airflow. Unbalanced airflow in a workplace requires the system to work harder. By fixing any problems inhibiting balanced airflow, ensures that energy used for air conditioning isn’t wasted.
- Longer Lifespan for HVAC Equipment
Good airflow decreases the amount of dust, mould and build-up that accumulates in HVAC system over time. This, combined with the resulting increased efficiency of balanced airflow means that the HVAC system should have a longer lifespan.
- Improved Comfort Levels
Living spaces that don’t receive enough air conditioning are uncomfortable inside the workplace. Air balancing aims to deliver the optimal amount of cool airflow to each portion and eliminate hotter spots.
- Better Air Quality
Efficient air exchange improves air quality by lowering the amount of mould spores, pollen and dust suspended in the air within a workplace.
