As many HVACR pros are already aware, the growing HVACR trend is the use of spiral ducts as they are less prone to leakage and subsequent energy loss and\/or uneven distribution of conditioned or heated air.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Kanomax products were designed with some foresight, and some specific instruments are the ideal tools for measuring airflow and leakage in spiral ducts and their diffusers.<\/p>\n

The Kanomax Velocity Grid (6700-VG) with included Micromanometer can adapt to any duct shape for highly accurate measurement and simple readout, full-color readout.\u00a0 The Bluetooth\u2122 technology allows the HVAC technician to run continuous measurements on duct airflow while comfortably on the ground.\u00a0 The velocity grid will do all the work gathering measurements over predetermined time intervals.\u00a0 It will also automatically average the measurements if needed.<\/p>\n

Even if a velocity grid won\u2019t work for a specific application, the micromanometer is fully adaptable for use with a pitot tube without any hardware or software changes other than the tube itself.\u00a0 The readout will include velocity and<\/em> pressure within the spiral duct and will correct for air density as well.<\/p>\n

So how can you measure leakage in spiral ducts?\u00a0 The Kanomax Duct Air Leakage Tester 6900 is the most powerful tester in the industry.\u00a0 It\u2019s designed for commercial buildings but the motor that builds pressure within the duct is fully adjustable for most applications big and small.\u00a0 It is gathers readings from a pitot tube and supplies measurements based on duct size that the technician inputs prior beginning the readings.\u00a0 This means it will work with superior accuracy in any shape duct and, because it can build pressure so quickly, every job will be done in no time.
\nTrust Kanomax instruments for measuring and monitoring airflow and leakage in spiral ducts.<\/p>\n

Any ducts, for that matter.<\/p>\n
