Thermometers in HVAC engineering

In HVAC engineering, thermometers are indispensable for measuring the temperature of various components, fluids, or air streams. They are used in various installations to monitor and control temperatures. Of course, these thermometers must meet specific criteria to provide reliable measurements and function effectively in various environments.

Some examples of thermometer applications in HVAC engineering include:

• Central heating systems: Thermometers are used in central heating systems to measure the temperature of circulating hot water. These measurements are crucial for controlling heating systems and maintaining the desired room temperature.
• Climate control systems: Thermometers are also employed in air conditioning and ventilation systems to measure air temperature, allowing the system to provide the appropriate cooling or heating to maintain the desired indoor climate.
• Hot water supply: Thermometers measure the temperature of hot water in sanitary hot water supply systems. This ensures easy regulation of hot water temperature for household use.
• Cooling systems: Thermometers are applied in cooling systems, such as industrial cooling installations or air conditioning systems, to measure the temperature of the cooling medium.
• Heat exchangers: In various heat exchanger configurations, including HVAC systems and industrial applications, thermometers are used to measure temperatures at the inputs and outputs of the heat exchanger.
• Solar boiler systems: Temperatures in the solar heat transfer medium and the hot water reservoir must be measured in solar boiler systems.
• Underfloor heating systems: Thermometers measure the temperature of hot water in underfloor heating pipes, ensuring even and comfortable floor heating.

Conditions for a good thermometer in HVAC engineering

All thermometers available at EMVO Techniek meet the quality standards necessary for using the instrument in HVAC engineering. Considerations include:

• Accuracy: Thermometers must provide accurate measurements, especially in applications where temperature control is essential.
• Reliability: They must be reliable and show consistent results, with the ability to withstand environmental influences, such as vibrations, shocks, and other conditions.
• Measuring range: Thermometers with various temperature ranges are available to cover the lowest and highest temperatures in the system in which they are used.
• Response time: Quick detection of temperature changes is essential in some cases. A short response time is crucial, especially in HVAC systems and other applications requiring real-time control.
• Calibration capabilities: Thermometers should be calibratable to maintain accuracy. EMVO Techniek can handle thermometer calibrations, providing a quick turnaround and accompanying calibration reports.

These are just a few examples of characteristics. Depending on the thermometer’s application, other factors such as mounting options, readability, and durability may also be important in making the right choice.
