IAQ Instruments
“Good” and “Better” Offering
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Plan – IAQ Products
• DETAILED Training of Products!!!– 1.0 Technology – 2.0 Measurements, Calculations, Specifications– 3.0 Operation– 4.0 Features and Benefits– 5.0 Calibration– 6.0 Applications– 7.0 Pricing and Discounts– 8.0 Competition and Positioning

1.0 Technology
• IAQ Products– Technology – Measurements
• CO2
• Temp• Humidity• CO
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
CO2 Measurement
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
CO2 Measurement
• Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR)
• CO2 molecules absorb light at 4.26 µm
• Light source on one end of sensor• IR detector on the other end• Filter eliminates all light except 4.26 µm • Intensity of light reaching detector is related to
CO2 concentration
• Flashing light source
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
CO2 Measurement
• TSI/Airflow instruments measurement uses a dual detector– One at 4.26 µm for CO2
– On at a wavelength where no known gas absorbs light
– The actual measurement looks at the difference– This helps with stability as the light source
degrades over time
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Temperature
• Separate sensor from the temp compensation sensor
• Why? Because the heat coming off the velocity sensor impacted the temperature reading
• Platinum RTD

Temperature
• Where is it located?• Holes allow in air• Response time
somewhat slow• Probe structural issue
Temperature sensor

Thermocouples
• On Multi-Function instrument, there are 2 slots for Type K thermocouples
• Available from TSI– Air probe– Surface probe
• Any Type K thermocouple will work• Much faster response!
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Thermocouples
• How they work• Slightly dissimilar materials
are connected to together• As temp changes, the
voltage changes• Voltage is related
to temp and is
measured in device

Thermocouples
• Standard plugs• Fast response time – small thermal mass• Some are inside enclosures• Type K (Chromel / Alumel)
has a range of -200 °C to +1200 °C range• Good for many applications
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Humidity Measurement
• Capacitive humidity sensor• As humidity changes, it changes the capacity of
the sensor• This is monitored by electronics • Raw signal is processed in instrument to get a
reading of humidity• TSI applies humidity sensors in products – good
understanding of calibration
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Humidity Measurement
• Where is the humidity
sensor located?

• For integral instruments, a calibration certificate is supplied with each instrument
• Calibration certificates come with all products, FREE of charge - - Key point of differentiation
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Field Calibration Important
• Why? Because NDIR and electro-chemical sensors drift and it helps if they are adjusted before starting an investigation
• Zero and span• Instrument walks the user through this process• User needs tanks of gas and calibration collar
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Calibration Certificate
• TSI recommends annual FACTORY calibration
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
Calibration Issues
• Many of the parameters can be field calibrated– In the Calibration menu in the instruments– Step-by-step instructions how to do it…..take a look– No “TSI” authorized Calibration Certificate– Important for some measurements like pressure
and CO2

Applications - Thermocouples
• Surface temperatures of heaters• Surface temperatures of pipes• Temperature gradients

• Fast temperature changes• Temperature of heated air
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
% Outside Air Application
• In 7525, 7545, 7565, 7424– Application Note AF-138 (let’s take a look)– To calculate the %OA, use the following equation for CO2
or temperature:
%OA = (XR-XS)/(XR-XO) X 100%
Where:
XR = Return air CO2 concentration OR temperature
XS = Supply air CO2 concentration OR temperature
XO = Outdoor air CO2 concentration OR temperature
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
% Outside Air Application
• Inside instrument, there are easy instructions to follow to get each measurement needed and then to automatically calculate %Outside Air
• Let’s take a look……….
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
% Outside Air Application
• In the US, there are standards for fresh air to be brought into certain indoor spaces
• For example, an office needs amount of outdoor, or fresh, air…
• This is called Air Changes Per Hour (ACPH) of fresh air and is specified by standards
• With these numbers, and Airflow Instruments, we can check to see if we have adequate ventilation
© 2007, TSI Incorporated
% Outside Air Application
• Example:– Recommended ACPH of fresh air to office: 5
– Size of room = 10 m X 10 m X 3 m = 300 m3
– Flow coming into room – measured at 3600 m3/hr– Calculating total ACPH =
• 3600 m3/hr / 300 m3 = 12 ACPH
– % Outside Air from 7545 IAQ-Calc = 40% • 12 ACPH X 40% = 4.8 ACPH of fresh air
