3200 Filtrometer™ Series

The patented Filtrometer™ is a microprocessor based air filter monitor able to sense the resistance of a dirty filter in both constant and variable airflows. The Filtrometer™ provides the answer to the often asked question when do I know when to change my air filter. Traditionally, air filters have been monitored by differential air pressure. While this technique is beneficial to measure some aspects of the HVAC system, it often proves inaccurate in determining the status/condition or the proper time for replacement of an air filter.

Filtrometer™ technology provides the ease of push button calibration, adjustable alarm level commands, LED signaling, dry contact relay, and analog signal with capacity to monitor velocity.

Air filtration monitoring, as we know it.

Every modern HVAC system is faced with the same question when do I know when to change my air filters. Increasingly answering this question will determine air quality, the ability to utilize energy efficient technology, implement automation, assure indoor air quality, and provide a critical barrier against contamination.

Intelligent Buildings and Automation:

Bring your Building Management System into full operation with accurate air filter monitoring. Be assured that your filtration system is accurately monitored, maintained and recorded as part of quality management and risk prevention.

Maintenance Efficiency:

Eliminate the guesswork resulting in unnecessary trips to check filters as well as the likelihood of untimely replacement of air filters. Optimum replacement of your air filters means substantial savings are not at the expense of air quality.

Contamination Control:

Air filtration is the "first line" of defense against air contaminants. Infection-isolation and protective environments requiring a proper pressure drop also depend on good air filtration and maintenance. Filtrometer™ technology complements standards established by AIA and ASHRAE for maintenance of air filtration in air handling systems.

Energy Efficiency:

Variable frequency electric motors are one of the best means to reduce energy consumption in heating and cooling. Implementing this technology depends and providing an accurate means to monitor air filtration. Relying on the traditional technology of differential pressure monitoring is an ineffective and inaccurate means to monitor air filtration. The Filtrometer™ air filter monitor with its patented microprocessor technologies accurately detects dirty filters in both constant and variable air flows.

Compressed air is also a large energy consumer. Proper air filter maintenance pays big energy savings while reducing plant equipment degradation and potential "down time".

Low-pressure drop air filters provide energy conservation while improving air quality. Filtrometers™ ability to accurately detect and control air filtration encourages the use of newer energy savings methods such as lower pressure air filtration systems.
Reducing the drag on air handler units when filters are replaced at the proper time reduces energy consumption.

Solid Economics:

For some facilities air quality is as important a commodity as water and power. Management and control of this resource cannot be assured without an accurate means to measure and control this operation. The accuracy of the Filtrometer™ assures management that the economics of air quality is balanced against energy conservation and proper filter replacement.

Good Manufacturing Practices:

Filtrometer™ is a primary tool for implementing innovations in manufacturing practices by improving the means to monitor, detect and maintain air filtration systems. Improved air filtration automation complements newer techniques of variable frequency electric motors and lower pressure air filtration systems. This improved monitoring and oversight of the air filtration system pays not only in reduced energy consumption, but even bigger dividends by lessening the likelihood for plant down time.

Green Buildings:

The air filtration system is at the heart of the building HVAC system. The commissioning process should incorporate energy and operational goals for HVAC. Filtrometer™ provides the technology for these goals to be met.

Indoor Air Quality:

Proper air filtration is essential for Indoor Air Quality. Establish the proper standard for detection and control of the air filtration system assuring IAQ is maintained in your facility.
