In building construction and maintenance, the words unanticipated or surprise are not usually what anyone wants to hear.

So, when Ohio University (Athens, OH) implemented a campus-wide HVAC upgrade initiative they were expecting that future energy savings would generate a significant ROI.  What they could not foresee, however, was the $350,000 cost avoidance that their new ONICON chilled water meters would also deliver.

BEWARE these 7 Deadly Sins of Airflow Measurement!

Have you ever experienced an airflow measurement project that did not perform to your expectations? If so, I would be willing to bet that the problem was not easy to resolve. These types of challenges do not go away quietly or resolve themselves. The HVAC environment provides many challenges for the correct application, installation and operation of airflow measurement equipment. Thankfully, there are several technologies available that, when properly selected can perform very well.

AEB Technologies has more than 20 years of experience in the HVAC airflow industry and we have encountered many challenges in this essential application. The most important thing to remember is that airflow measurement is not a one size fits all application. We have taken our many years in the field experience to provide you with a list of the top seven most common challenges of airflow measurement. This includes why some technologies underperform, get a bad name, and otherwise have not met the expectations of the owners and designers.

ONICON Incorporated’s F-4300 Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter is Now Available up to 48” Pipe Sizes

ONICON Incorporated introduces increased line size availability on the F-4300 Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter.

The F-4300’s updated features include:

• Available for Pipe Sizes ½” to 48”
• New 30 Series Transducer Selection with NEMA 4 (IP66) Threaded Strain Relief Connector
• Enhanced Performance on Older or Corroded Piping
• Ideal Solution for Retrofits & Baseline Monitoring
• Simple to Install with High Confidence and Reliability

• Certificate of Calibration Accompanies Each Meter

The ONICON F-4300 Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter is the ideal tool for measuring flow when it is difficult to install insertion or inline flow meters. The meter utilizes a matched pair of high precision signal transducers to measure flow through the pipe wall. It is designed for use with pipes ranging from ½” to 48” in diameter and works with most commonly used pipe materials.

The F-4300 is simple to install and commission. Clamp-on transducers allow for quick and easy installation with no system shutdown and no pressure drop. Each meter is provided with a built in 128-megabyte data logger and is configured and programmed to the customer’s application data, so complex field programming is not required.

“The F-4300 is the non-invasive approach to highly accurate hydronic measurement. Now, with the introduction of the 30 Series transducers, the F-4300 can accommodate pipe sizes up to 48” and provide an excellent solution for troublesome retrofit applications where the piping is older or corroded.” says Doantrang Le Tran, Product Manager for ONICON Incorporated.
