Carbon Monoxide and Smoke
Excessive levels of CO or combustion particulates
mean not just discomfort, but danger! SAE-1100 series
CO detectors watch for this deadly and invisible
gas. Also, where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and
early detection is critically important. CAE-1003/1103
detectors watch for smoke inside HVAC ducts.
Carbon Dioxide and Motion
How much ventilation and conditioning of the air is
needed for a space depends on how many people
are occupying that space...if any at all. For spaces
with variable occupancy (such as meeting rooms,
classrooms, theaters, gyms, retail stores, and hotels),
considerable energy savings can be obtained by
determining the actual, real-time level of occupancy
(compared to the “worst-case” design occupancy) and
reducing the ventilation and conditioning accordingly
(to just the right amount but no more).
Motion sensors can determine a simple yes-or-no
occupancy state. NetSensors and FlexStats with the
optional motion sensor (with an effective range of up
to 33 feet) provide a convenient means of concluding
if anybody’s home inside a room.
A complementary and far more sophisticated
approach senses the gas that people breathe out.
By measuring the levels of CO
2
, Demand Control
Ventilation (DCV) estimates the amount of occupancy
and required (healthy) levels of ventilation and adjusts
the ventilation accordingly. SAE-1000 series CO
2
detectors provide CO
2
measurements in rooms or
ducts to external controllers. FlexStats with the CO
2
sensor option integrate demand control ventilation
with temperature and optional humidity control.
Flow and Pressure
Although behind the scenes, the amount of and
pressure of air and/or water flow are important factors
in the efficiency of HVAC operation. SSS-1000
series and SSE-1000/2000 series flow sensors
help determine how much air is flowing in
the system. The various TPE-1xxx series
pressure transducers provide pressure
readings of air or water.
