Recently we released the FIM-series, an air filter monitoring device. With these you can choose to monitor one (FIM18) or two (FIM28) air filters at the same time.
The key functions and features of what these air filter monitoring devices do:
Pressure Drop Measurement: Air filters create a resistance to the airflow passing through them. Over time, as the filter collects dust and particulate matter, this resistance increases, resulting in a higher pressure drop across the filter. A filter monitoring device measures the pressure drop across the filter and provides an indication of its condition. If the pressure drop exceeds a certain threshold, it signals that the filter requires maintenance.
Real-time Data and Alerts: Our air filter monitoring devices provide real-time data and alerts, enabling operators or maintenance personnel to monitor the filter condition continuously. They can receive notifications or alarms when the filter needs attention, allowing for timely maintenance actions. These notifications are sent by SMS or e-mail.
Data Logging and Analysis: Filter monitoring devices often record and store historical data on filter performance, pressure drop trends, and other relevant parameters. This data can be analysed to identify patterns, optimize maintenance schedules, or identify potential issues related to the air filtration system.
The last two features are made possible by connecting the FIM to SenteraWeb, our online HVAC-portal. You can connect the device via WiFi only or choose the version where you can choose to connect to SenteraWeb via WiFi or LAN-cable via the integrated Sentera Internet Gateway. This filter monitoring device is designed to be used as standalone article and consequently cannot be integrated into a BMS system.
Air filter monitoring devices can be used in various settings where air quality and the performance of air filters are crucial. Some potential applications where the FIM can be used are:
Residential Homes: Use the device to monitor the air quality and performance of air filters in homes to ensure a healthy living environment, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.
Commercial Buildings: Install the monitoring device in office spaces, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, or any commercial building to ensure the air filtration systems are functioning optimally and maintaining good indoor air quality.
Industrial Facilities: Monitor air filters in factories, manufacturing plants, or industrial facilities to ensure that harmful particles, pollutants, or hazardous substances are adequately filtered, maintaining a safe working environment for employees.
HVAC Systems: Integrate the FIM into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to monitor the condition of filters and ensure proper functioning, maximizing energy efficiency and preventing the spread of contaminants.
Laboratories and Cleanrooms: Use the device in sensitive environments like laboratories, cleanrooms, or research facilities to monitor air quality and ensure that strict standards for particle control are maintained.
Hospitality Industry: Implement the monitoring device in hotels, resorts, or other hospitality establishments to monitor air quality in guest rooms and common areas, providing a comfortable and healthy environment for guests.
Data Centers: Install the monitoring device in data centers to ensure proper airflow and filter performance, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to dust or particulate matter.
The specific requirements and recommendations may vary depending on the location, industry, and regulations applicable to each setting.
In summary we can say that by using an air filter monitoring device, facility managers, maintenance personnel, or HVAC technicians can ensure that air filters are functioning optimally, prevent system inefficiencies, maintain good indoor air quality, and extend the lifespan of the filters, ultimately reducing energy costs and improving system performance.
