The document provides an overview of building science measurements that will be conducted as part of a yearlong study characterizing a hospital. Measurements will include outdoor air ventilation rates, occupancy, temperature, humidity, and light intensity in patient rooms and mechanical rooms. The plan is to install sensors minimally invasively to measure these parameters. Sensors will be located in return and supply air locations. Surface characterization may also be considered. Questions are raised regarding equipment installation and power needs to conduct the study.
For efficient control of combustion and drying processes
Simultaneous or as individual measurement: the GM35 gas analyzer measures CO2, H2O and CO, or N2O, as well temperature and pressure – and it does this reliably, quickly, and economically. As an in-situ gas analyzer, the GM35 detects these gas components directly in the gas stream without gas sampling. Reliability, precision, and short response time of the GM35 offer a key advantage for efficient control loops in all CO and CO2-generating processes.
The monthly inspection checklist provides instructions for competent persons to complete a monthly inspection of any open excavations. It includes over 30 items across various building maintenance systems to check, including interior/exterior walls, windows, doors, floors, roofs, climate systems, heating systems, hydraulic systems, barriers, fences, and drinking water supply. Inspectors indicate for each item whether it is satisfactory or unsatisfactory and can include comments. The completed checklist must be signed by the inspector and supervisor and kept on record for the duration of the excavation.
HVAC Comfort with NEX and PLAY - Reliability or Flexibility?EffectiV HVAC Inc.
The document discusses innovative HVAC solutions called NEX and PLAY that can improve comfort and efficiency in buildings. NEX diffusers have concave elements that swirl air for even distribution, higher induction, and tolerance to temperature and velocity variations. PLAY diffusers allow full horizontal adjustment through movable sectors to address air distribution issues without blocking airflow. Both solutions aim to increase occupant comfort while optimizing energy use and reducing service costs compared to traditional diffusers.

The overall goal is to help building owners and managers identify issues affecting their systems' performance to save energy and costs.
False air or excess air in sealed systems like boiler flue gas paths or ACC vacuum systems can cause issues like heat loss, fan inefficiency, and increased downtime. It is important to identify sources of false air, measure levels periodically, and implement remedial actions like sealing leaks. Key steps include dedicating teams to identify leak areas, take measurements, and make repairs during outages in a timely manner, as well as implementing design and fabrication best practices, online monitoring instruments, and preventative maintenance programs.
Laser based Spectrometer for VOCs MonitoringSteve Williams
Los Gatos Research develops optical spectroscopy instruments to detect trace gases. Their incoherent cavity ring down spectroscopy (iCRDS) system can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) at low parts-per-billion concentrations. They deployed the iCRDS system at the Moffett Federal Airfield Superfund site to continuously monitor VOCs in tunnel air and breathing zones. Measurements showed VOC levels increasing when remediation fans were turned off and decreasing when fans turned back on, demonstrating the system's ability to evaluate remediation effectiveness in real-time. The iCRDS provided sensitive, autonomous VOC monitoring with results matching previous grab
This document provides information about air handling units (AHUs) and their components. It discusses different types of AHUs classified by design (single or double skinned), location (horizontal, vertical, ceiling mounted), and fan placement (draw through or blow through). It also lists common AHU components like fans, filters, coils, controls, and describes their functions. Tables provide specifications for duct sizing and testing instruments used for air balancing, pressure checks, and ensuring indoor air quality.
The document describes experiments conducted to generate sound waves from pulsed solar/IR radiation using thermo-acoustic converters. The experiments aimed to study parameters affecting acoustic amplitude and obtain acoustic waves from solar radiation over 200 Hz - 3 kHz. Indoor experiments used an IR heater and outdoor experiments used solar radiation as heat sources. Results showed acoustic amplitude depended on factors like acoustic frequency, porous material properties, heating power, and converter design. Outdoor experiments successfully obtained acoustic waves within 200 Hz - 3 kHz using solar energy.

3) Kurz flow meters and switches are used in a variety of industries and critical applications, including emissions monitoring systems, power plants, aquariums, and landfill gas collection systems.
The document discusses indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring equipment and protocols. It provides examples of traditional and modern equipment for monitoring gases and particles. Factors to consider when selecting equipment include the purpose of monitoring, equipment limitations, monitoring period required, and budget. Proper siting of equipment indoors and outdoors is also discussed, including avoiding local pollution sources and placing sensors away from occupants. Data storage, communication, and potential pitfalls like auto-calibration features are also covered.
This document discusses various instruments used for micrometeorological studies. It begins by defining micrometeorology and its importance. It then describes different scales in meteorology from macro to micro. Various instrumentation approaches like flux gradient, Bowen ratio energy balance, and eddy covariance methods are mentioned. Specific instruments are then discussed in detail including ventilated psychrometer, soil heat flux plates, porometer, quantum sensor, sunfleck ceptometer, leaf area meter, infrared thermometer, and photosynthesis system. Case studies on their applications in India and Nigeria are provided. The document concludes by discussing the global FLUXNET network for measuring ecosystem carbon, water, and energy fluxes using the eddy covariance method.
This document provides details about various tests conducted as part of an internship project at Philips Lighting Limited, including surge testing, strife testing, thermal testing, and reliability testing. Surge testing detects insulation deterioration in motors to identify failures early. Strife testing subjects products to stresses beyond expected use conditions to find design weaknesses. Thermal testing uses infrared cameras to detect temperature differences that can indicate issues. Reliability testing calculates failure probability and mean time between failures to evaluate a software's ability to function over time. The document also explains flyback converter operation and limitations of continuous and discontinuous modes.
Acoustic Emission (AE) refers to the generation of transient elastic waves produced by a sudden redistribution of stress in a material. When a structure is subjected to an external stimulus (change in pressure, load, or temperature), localized sources trigger the release of energy, in the form of stress waves, which propagate to the surface and are recorded by sensors. With the right equipment and setup, motions on the order of picometers (10 -12 m) can be identified. Sources of AE vary from natural events like earthquakes and rockbursts to the initiation and growth of cracks, slip and dislocation movements, melting, twinning, and phase transformations in metals. In composites, matrix cracking and fiber breakage and debonding contribute to acoustic emissions. AE’s have also been measured and recorded in polymers, wood, and concrete, among other materials.
This document provides an overview of instrumentation and control systems used in thermal power plants.
