FREE Monthly Download

This month’s download is a methodology for testing any vented combustion equipment to help diagnose the presence of combustion air problems, or undersized or restricted flues.

You can use it for a single piece of equipment, or for multiple units that are common vented. This data sheet highlights the best instrument to use to measure combustion air and provides five-step procedures for single and multiple units.

Featured this month is the last module of the System Performance Testing Series. It focuses on Duct Traverse Basics.

A duct traverse is a method for accurately determining system airflow when you can’t use a balancing hood.

In this module you will learn to apply the basic traverse formula for both round and rectangular ducts. You’ll also be taught how to recognize the best and alternative locations to perform the traverse, and understand when it is NOT’ appropriate to perform a duct traverse.

There’s an APP for That …

The Munters PsychroApp’ is our January Featured App. It provides a quick and easy psychrometric calculation mobile tool that makes accurate calculations of the thermodynamic properties of moist air easy.

Calculate the total, sensible, latent, and moisture loads of any process more accurately than using psychrometric charts. The PsychroApp’ provides calculations such as dew point, grams per kg, and grains per pound. Simply enter the temperature and relative humidity and Munters PsychroApp’ will output the corresponding dew point or grams per kg/grains per pound, giving you the insight you need for your job.

This free app is available in both the Apple (ncilink.com/MuntersA) and Google (ncilink.com/MuntersG) stores.
