Particle counts
Particle counts vary according to a number of factors such as location, time of year, and occupants. When taking par­ticle counts, always establish an outside baseline reading to compare indoor particle levels against. Ideally, indoor particle levels will be less then outdoor levels.
Filter bypass
When testing for filter bypass, take particle counts before and after sealing the edges of the filter with duct tape. This will provide an indication of how much particulate matter is bypassing the filter due to poor fitment or compromised sealing surfaces.

Growing your business through indoor air quality particulate profiling
You’ve probably heard mold referred to as the “new asbestos” for HVAC/R. Concern about mold and its health effects is driv­ing consumers to have their indoor air quality (IAQ) situation assessed and, if necessary, repaired.
If you’re the contractor they call, keep in mind that mold isn’t the only issue to consider when assess­ing the IAQ of a commercial building or residence. Many different kinds of particulates in a work or living environ­ment can cause Sick Building Syndrome and aggravate allergy and respiratory conditions.

Quick Tips
Frequent Calibration is Key
Frequent calibration of gas sensors is key to maintaining the accuracy and performance of the device. Both CO2 and CO sensors can exhibit tenden­cies to drift over time due to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and pressure.
Fluke recommends monthly calibration of the CO sensor, and an annual calibration for CO2 for optimum performance.

Application Note
Measuring air velocity with the Fluke 975 AirMeter: Using the velocity probe
Fro m t h e F lu k e D ig i ta l L i br ar y @ w ww .f l uk e .c o m/ l ib ra r y
Air velocity is a key parameter in evaluating airflow sys­tem performance. As part of basic testing, adjusting and balancing of HVAC air distribution systems, most HVAC technicians now use an anemometer to mea­sure air velocity at grilles-registers-diffusers, within a duct, or in open spaces.
Anemometers are typically very accurate tools, especially at low velocities, but they must compensate for air temperature, absolute pressure, and ambient absolute pressure. The Fluke 975 AirMeter tool has an accessory velocity probe that uses a thermal anemom­eter to measure air velocity. A temperature sensor in the probe tip compensates for air temperature, a sen­sor in the meter reads absolute pressure, and ambient absolute pressure is determined upon meter initializa­tion. For users who prefer to calculate their own com­pensation factors, the meter will also display air velocity or volume at standard conditions.
This application note describes how to take accurate air volume measurements within a duct, air measure­ments at grilles-registers-diffusers, and other locations.
Air volumes within a duct
The ultimate goal of any duct system is to move the required air volume, while keeping all other factors within acceptable limits, and to deliver it in quanti­ties and patterns that serve the intended purpose: heating, cool­ing, ventilating, exhausting, mix­ing, humidifying, dehumidifying, or otherwise conditioning the air within a space. Velocity within a duct is determined not only by application, but also by how the duct is designed. Key design factors include: The level of available static pressure that can be overcome by the fan due to friction losses and pressure drops of devices within the air stream; the cost of duct work; the space available for duct work; and acceptable noise levels.
To determine the air volume delivered to all downstream ter­minal devices, technicians use a duct traverse. Duct traverses can determine air volume in any duct by multiplying average velocity readings by the inside area of the duct. Traverses in main ducts measure total system air volume, which is critical to HVAC system performance, efficiency, and even life expectancy. The difference in air volumes between the main supply duct traverse and the main return duct traverse results in outdoor air volume. A traverse in run-outs is the most accurate way to determine the air volume delivered by the terminal device (grille-register-diffuser). A tra­verse in exhaust ducts reveals exhaust air volume.

Making the numbers add up: Understanding specifications and performance of indoor air quality test instruments
Air quality test instruments must deliver accurate and verifiable per­formance, both to ensure precise and reliable air quality diagnosis, and to provide credible answers if results or procedures are challenged. The air quality profes­sional’s reputation depends on the quality and perfor­mance of the test tools in use, as well as on their understanding of instrument specifications, technologies, applications and maintenance.

Quick Tips
How HVAC airflow impacts operating costs
Dirty coils, fans, and filters will increase static pressure by reducing airflow, caus­ing HVAC equipment to work harder to meet occupant loads and increasing energy costs. With HVAC energy costs often comprising over 50 % of the total energy bill, tighter monitoring and control of HVAC airflow can have a direct impact on the bottom line.
In a study1 on coil clean-
ing and energy savings in a New York City high rise, pressure monitoring and visual inspection led to restoration of the coils and components. The restora­tion resulted in a 14 % decrease in pressure drop across the coils, a 25 % increase in the coil’s ther­mal efficiency, and energy savings of up to $40,000 in the first year.
EPA studies2 show that a 15
cfm airflow differential can impact annual HVAC energy costs by up to 8 % depend­ing upon the HVAC system and variations in climate.

symptoms
Flu or food poisoning like: Mild headaches Sore eyes Runny nose Mild nausea Shortness of breath
Dizziness Headaches Drowsiness Vomiting
Unconsciousness Brain damage Death
How many people are uninten­tionally poisoned by CO?
Every year, over 200 people in the United States die from CO produced by fuel-burning appliances (fur­naces, ranges, water heaters, room heaters). Others die from CO pro­duced while burning charcoal inside a home, garage, vehicle or tent. Still others die from CO produced by cars left running in attached garages. Several thousand people go to hos­pital emergency rooms for treatment for CO poisoning.

Quick Tips
Duct temperatures
Use the Fluke 971 and an infra­red thermometer to monitor duct temperatures at the register. Easily calculate dewpoint with the Fluke 971, then compare it to register temperatures to see if they fall below the dewpoint. Use an infrared thermometer in this application as a general indicator only. Many factors come into play when taking IR measurments, such as emissiv­ity and spot-to-distance ratio. Lower temperatures can lead to condensation forming on duct­work. If uninsulated, moisture can fall onto ceiling materials and cause potential mold issues and water damage.
Did you know?
Studies indicate that productivity can increase anywhere from
0.5 % to 5 % given a comfortable work environment. Use the Fluke 971 to monitor and maintain comfortable conditions for your customers—and demonstrate the effectiveness of your repairs.

Carbon monoxide
Use a carbon monoxide meter to check for CO leaks around the heat exchanger, flue and other points within a building.
Control voltage
Use a voltage detector or DMM to test for energized 24 V ac contacts. Use an infrared (IR) thermometer to check for loose connections or overloaded circuits.
Belts and bearings
Use an infrared thermometer to check belts for alignment and bearings for excessive friction.
Air temperature difference
Check the temperature difference across the heat exchanger with a digital thermometer, with the burner working. Expect a 40-75 °F temperature difference (TD). If the TD is low, then the fan is running too fast. If the TD is high, then the fan is running too slow or there is restricted air flow.
Flame rod µA test
Verify proper operation of the flame rectification circuit with a clamp meter or digital multimeter in the µA mode. Compare measured value against flame control module specifications. Typical values vary widely and can be as low as 0.16 to 18.0 µA or more. If the µA reading is below specification, the flame rod may need to be repositioned, cleaned, or replaced.

Quick Tips
Measuring superheat and subcooling
To measure superheat:
1) Measure suction pressure with a pressure module and your digital multimeter (DMM). Convert pressure to temperature using your PT chart.
2) Measure the pipe temperature
at the outlet of the evaporator with a pipe clamp and your temperature meter.
3) Subtract the difference
in temperatures to obtain superheat.
To measure subcooling:
1) Measure liquid line pressure (or discharge pressure if there is no liquid line access valve) with a pressure module and your DMM. Convert the pres­sure to temperature using your PT chart.
2) Measure the pipe temperature
at the outlet of the condenser with a pipe clamp and your temperature meter.
3) Subtract the difference
in temperatures to obtain subcooling.

Why true-rms matters for HVAC technicians
Non-linear loads need a true-rms test tool for accurate readings
For today’s HVAC technician, troubleshooting electrical prob­lems is becoming more difficult without the use of true-rms test tools. This is due in part to the prol iferation of new solid state adjust­able speed motor dr ives and heating controls containing power semiconductors or rectifiers. These loads are referred to as “non-linear.” Non-linear loads draw current in short pulses rather than the smooth sine wave drawn by a linear load such as an induction motor. The c urrent wave shape can have a drastic effect on a test tool reading. Read a detailed application note on www.fluke.com/iaq

A detailed list of heating,
air conditioning, and HVAC terms
Glossary
26
Absolute humidity: The mass of water vapor per
unit volume of air.
Absolute pressure: Pressure above a perfect
vacuum. Absolute pressure is the sum of gage pressure plus atmospheric pressure.
Air exchange rate: Used in two ways: 1. the
number of times the outdoor air replaces the volume of air in a building per unit time, typically expressed as air changes per hour; 2. the number of times that the ventilation system replaces the air within a room or area within the building.
Air flow: The movement of air from one location
to another, commonly measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM).
Air velocity: The distance traveled per unit of time,
commonly measured in feet per minute (FPM).
Air handling unit (AHU): Refers to equipment that
includes a blower or fan, heating and/or cooling coils, and related equipment such as controls, condensate drain pans, and air filters. Does not include ductwork, registers or grilles, or boilers and chillers.
Allergen: A substance capable of causing an aller-
gic reaction because of an individual’s sensitivity to that substance.
Ambient air: Unconditioned atmospheric air.
Atmospheric pressure: Standard atmosphere is
the pressure equivalent of 14.696 psi or 29.921 in. Hg at sea level. Measured with a barometer, it is an indication of the “weight” of the air.
Boiler: A pressure vessel that safely and efficiently
transfers heat to water.
BTU: British Thermal Unit. A measure of the heat
given off when fuel is combusted. One BTU is equal to the heat necessary to raise one pound of water 1 °F.
Building envelope: Elements of the building,
including all external building materials, win­dows, and walls, that enclose the internal space.
Building-related illness (BRI): Diagnosable
illness whose symptoms can be identified and whose cause can be directly attributed to airborne building pollutants (e.g., Legionnaire’s disease, hypersensitivity pneumonitis).
Capacity: The output of a heating or cooling system
for a given amount of space. For heating, this is usually expressed in BTU’s. For cooling, it is usu­ally expressed in tons.
Carbon dioxide: (CO2), a clear, odorless gas found
in nature (around 380 ppm), most commonly associated with respired air. The gas is largely considered non-poisonous, but can result in suf­focation in sufficient quantities.
Carbon monoxide: A clear, odorless gas made
when carbon or other fuel is burned during the combustion process. The gas is poisonous, with exposure resulting in symptoms such as head­aches, nausea, or even death.
Ceiling plenum: Space below the flooring and
above the suspended ceiling that accommodates the mechanical and electrical equipment and that is used as part of the air distribution system. The space is kept under negative pressure.
Central air handling unit (Central AHU): This is
the same as an Air Handling Unit, but serves more than one area.
Chiller: Hydronic air conditioning system which
cools water, which cools air.
Compressor: Mechanical device that compresses
refrigerant or other fluid.
Condensate: Liquid formed when a vapor has
cooled below its dewpoint.
Condenser: Heat exchanger that removes heat from
high-pressure refrigerant vapor.
Conditioned air: Air that has been heated, cooled,
humidified, or dehumidified to maintain an inte­rior space within the “comfort zone.” (Sometimes referred to as “tempered” air.)
Constant air volume systems: Air handling
system that provides a constant air flow while varying the temperature to meet heating, and cooling needs.
Cooling coil: Typically copper or aluminum
tubing arranged to transfer the heat from air to a refrigerant.
Dampers: Controls that vary airflow through an
air outlet, inlet, or duct. A damper position may be immovable, manually adjustable or part of an automated control system.
Demand controlled ventilation: Any system used
to vary air intake rates based upon the loads placed upon the system, given a predefined space.
Dewpoint temperature (dp): Temperature below
which moisture in the air begins to condense.
Differential pressure: The difference in static
pressure measured between two locations.
Diffusers: Components of the ventilation system
that distribute and diffuse air to promote air circu­lation in the occupied space. Diffusers supply air, and grilles return air.
Draft: Air movement resulting in a local cooling
effect on the body. The intensity of the draft is dependent upon a variety of factors which include air velocity, temperature, occupant activity, and occupant clothing.
Drain trap: A dip in the drain pipe of sinks, toilets,
floor drains, etc., which is designed to stay filled with water, thereby preventing sewer gases from escaping into the room.
Page 27
Dry bulb temperature: Measurement of sensible
heat.
Economizer: A mechanical device that makes
system adjustments in response to changing conditions in order to maximize energy efficiency. An economizer typically contains a thermostat control that opens the dampers when outside air temperatures are lower than indoors, providing “free cooling”. Many economizers will incorporate humidity sensors to ensure outside air is both cool and dry enough to allow indoors, unconditioned.
Emissivity: The efficiency with which the surface
material of a certain object emits energy. Emissiv­ity is an important consideration in using infrared to measure temperatures on reflective surfaces.
Enthalpy: (h) Total heat contained in a substance,
which is the sum of sensible heat and latent heat.
Evaporator coil: Cools and dehumidifies the air
by converting liquid refrigerant into a gas, which absorbs the heat from the air.
Exfiltration: The controlled or uncontrolled move-
ment of air out of a building, through cracks, and other openings.
Exhaust air: Air that is removed from a space, and
not recirculated into the system.
Exhaust ventilation: Mechanical removal of air
from a portion of a building (e.g., piece of equip­ment, room, or general area).
Fan coil: A component of a heat pump system, used
to provide additional heat when the heat pump does not provide adequate heating.
Filter efficiency: The ratio of particles trapped by
filter media compared to the total number of par­ticles found in the air upstream of the filter.
Filter, HEPA: High-efficiency particulate arrestance
(HEPA) filter that is at least 99.97 percent efficient in removing particulate matter with a diameter of
0.3 micrometers or greater.
Flame rod: Combustion safety control that conducts
electricity through a flame for flame detection.
Forced-air heating system: Uses air to carry heat.
Fungi: Any of a group of parasitic lower plants that
lack chlorophyll, including molds and mildews.
Green buildings: The building industry is increas-
ingly focused on making its buildings “greener,” which includes using healthier, less polluting and more resource-efficient practices. Indoor envi­ronmental quality (IEQ) refers to the quality of the air and environment inside buildings, based on pollutant concentrations and conditions that can affect the health, comfort and performance of occupants—including temperature, relative humid ity, light, sound, and other factors. Good IEQ is an essential component of any building, especially a green building.
Heat exchanger: Material that transfers heat from
one substance to another without allowing the substances to mix.
Heat pump: Mechanical compression refrigeration
system that contains devices and controls that reverse the flow of refrigerant. Reversing the flow of refrigerant switches the relative position of the evaporator and condenser.
Heat: Form of energy identified by temperature
difference or a change of state.
HEPA: High efficiency particulate arrestance (filters).
Hydronic heating system: Heating system that
uses water, steam, or other fluid to carry heat from the point of generation to the point of use.
Indoor air pollutant: Particles and dust, fibers,
mists, bioaerosols, and gases or vapors.
Infiltration air: Air that flows into a building when
outer doors are open or when air leaks in through cracks around doors, windows, or other openings.
Laminar air flow: Streamlined airflow in which
the entire mass of air within a designated space moves with uniform velocity in one direction along parallel flow lines with minimal mixing.
Latent heat: Heat identified by a change of state
and no temperature change.
Load: The amount of heat imposed on a refriger-
ant system, or the required rate of heat removal in order to maintain a constant temperature in a building. Typically expressed as a unit of heat per unit of time (i.e. BTU/hr).
Makeup air: Air that is used to replace air that
is lost to exhaust.
Mixed air: A combination of return air and
outside air, prior to conditioning and being supplied to the building.
Negative pressure: Condition that exists when
less air is supplied to a space than is exhausted from the space, so the air pressure within that space is less than that in surrounding areas. Under this condition, if an opening exists, air will flow from surrounding areas into the negatively pressurized space.
Organic compounds: Chemicals that contain
carbon. Volatile organic compounds vaporize at room temperature and pressure. They are found in many indoor sources, including common house­hold products, and building materials.
Outdoor air supply: Air brought into a building
from the outdoors (often through the ventilation system) that has not been previously circulated through the system. Also known as “Make-up Air.”

A detailed list of heating,
air conditioning, and HVAC terms
Glossary
28
Particulate: Small liquid or solid particles found in
air or emissions. Airborne particles can be gener­ated as a result of a mechanical break up of solid matter (“coarse particles” ) or through chemical reactions or condensing gases (“fine particles”). Typically measured in micrometers, particle sizes vary greatly in size and therefore behavior. Particles greater than 1 micron tend to settle out of the atmosphere but remain suspended given sufficient air currents. Particles ranging from
0.1 to 1 micron tend to stay airborne with the slightest air movement, and smaller than 0.1 will typically remain suspended indefinitely.
PELs: Permissible Exposure Limits (standards set
by the Occupational, Safety and Health Adminis­tration, OSHA).
Pickup: Additional heat needed to warm the water
in a hydronic heating system after a period of off­time such as overnight.
Plenum: Air compartment connected to a duct
or ducts.
Pollutant pathways: Avenues for distribution of
pollutants in a building. HVAC systems are the primary pathways in most buildings; however all building components interact to affect how air movement distributes pollutants.
Positive pressure: Condition that exists when
more air is supplied to a space than is exhausted, so the air pressure within that space is greater than that in surrounding areas. Under this condition, if an opening exists, air will flow from the positively pressurized space into surrounding areas.
Pressure drop: Decrease in water pressure caused
by friction between water and the inside surface of a pipe as the water moves through the pipe.
Static pressure: In flowing air, the total pressure
minus velocity pressure. The portion of the pres­sure that pushes equally in all directions.
Total pressure: In flowing air, the sum of the static
pressure and the velocity pressure.
Velocity pressure: In flowing air, the pressure due
to the velocity, and density of the air.
Radiant heat transfer: Radiant heat transfer
occurs when there is a large difference between the temperatures of two surfaces that are exposed to each other, but are not touching.
Register: Device that covers the opening of
the supply ductwork.
Reheat: Heat supplied at the point of use while
a ventilated air supply comes from a central location.
Relative humidity (rh): Amount of moisture in the
air compared to the amount of moisture the air would hold if it were saturated.
RELs: Recommended Exposure Limits (recom-
mendations made by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)).
Respirable particles: Airborne particles that are of
a size that can penetrate into the lower respira­tory tract. Such particles are often labeled “PM10” particles, which include particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less.
Return air: The air that is removed from a space
and recirculated or exhausted to the outside.
RMS: “root mean square.” It comes from a math-
ematical formula that calculates the “effective” value (or heating value) of any ac wave shape. “True-rms” calculates the heating value based upon the rms formula, providing an accurate value regardless of the wave shape.
Saturated air: Air which cannot hold more mois-
ture, where the addition of moisture will result in condensation.
SEER: The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is a
measure of the cooling efficiency of an air con­ditioner or heat pump. The ratio is defined as the total output provided by the unit over a typical usage period divided by the total energy input over the same period of time. The higher the SEER number, the more efficient the system is at converting electricity into cooling power.
Sensible heat: Heat that does not involve a change
of state measured with a thermometer or sensed by a person.
Setpoint temperature: 1. In a forced-air heating
system, the temperature at which the switch in a thermostat opens and closes. 2. In a hydronic heating system, the temperature at which the boiler water is maintained.
Sick building syndrome (SBS): Term that refers
to a set of symptoms that affect some number of building occupants during the time they spend in the building and diminish or go away during peri­ods when they leave the building. Cannot be traced to specific pollutants or sources within the building. (Contrast with “Building related illness”).
Sources: Sources of indoor air pollutants. Indoor
air pollutants can originate within the building or be drawn in from outdoors. Common sources include people, room furnishings such as carpet­ing, photocopiers, art supplies, etc.
Specific heat: Ability of a material to hold heat.
Expressed as the ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance 1 °F to that required to raise the temperature of an equal mass of water 1 °F
Stack effect: The overall upward movement of
air inside a building that results from heated air rising and escaping through openings in the building super structure, thus causing an indoor pressure level lower than that in the soil gas beneath or surrounding the building foundation.
Page 29
Static pressure: Pressure exerted in all directions
by a fluid or gas at rest. For fluids in motion, measured perpendicular to the direction of flow.
Steam trap: Steam boiler accessory that removes
air and condensate from steam lines, and heating units.
Subcooling: Process of cooling of a substance such
as a refrigerant to a temperature that is lower than the saturated temperature of the substance at a particular pressure.
Superheat: Sensible heat that is added to a sub-
stance after the substance has turned to vapor.
Supply air: A conditioned mixture of return air, and
outside air delivered to a space.
Time-weighted average concentration (TWA):
Refers to concentrations of airborne materials which have been weighted for a certain time duration, usually eight hours.
(TLV) threshold limit value: A time-weighted
average concentration under which most people can work consistently for eight hours a day, day after day, without suffering harmful effects. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists publishes a table of these values and accompanying precautions annually.
Ton: A unit of measure for cooling capacity. One
ton=12,000 BTUs per hour.
Unit ventilator: A fan-coil unit package device
for applications in which the use of outdoor- and return-air mixing is intended to satisfy tempering requirements, and ventilation needs.
Unitary system: Air conditioning system that has
all components enclosed in one cabinet.
Variable air volume system (VAV): Air distri-
bution system in which the air flow rate in the building spaces is varied by mixing dampers, but the temperature of the supply air remains constant.
Ventilation rate: The rate at which indoor air
enters and leaves a building. Expressed in one of two ways: the number of changes of outdoor air per unit of time (air changes per hour, or “ach”) or the rate at which a volume of outdoor air enters per unit of time (cubic feet per minute, or “cfm”).
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Compounds
that vaporize (become a gas) at room tempera­ture. Common sources which may emit VOCs into indoor air include housekeeping and maintenance products, and building and furnishing materials. In sufficient quantities, VOCs can cause eye, nose, and throat irritations, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders, memory impairment; some are known to cause cancer in animals; some are suspected of causing, or are known to cause, cancer in humans.
Wet-bulb temperature: The lowest air tempera-
ture that can be reached through evaporation at a specific air saturation point. Wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures will be identical at 100 % air saturation.
Zone: The occupied space or group of spaces
within a building which has its heating or cooling controlled by a single thermostat.
