In fact, they account for the largest proportion of energy consumed in homes, offices, and commercial buildings. The key to savings on utility bills is to make sure the systems\u2019 pressure, flow, and temperature are within the proper ranges. Energy efficiency is also important because it helps protect the planet.<\/p>\n<h2><span>WIKA\u2019s Measuring Instrumentation for Air Handling Units<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WIKA has measuring instrumentation that makes it easy to monitor and regulate pressure, flow, and temperature in VAC units. The devices are simple to mount and\/or retrofit, and are worry- and maintenance-free. They come in manual versions as well as with digital interfaces for remote monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>WIKA\u2019s comprehensive portfolio of instruments can measure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/a2g_10.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Differential pressure<\/span><\/a>to determine when a filter needs to be cleaned or replaced<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/air_flow_sensors.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Air flow<\/span><\/a>in fans to ensure proper distribution<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/a2g_65.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Temperature<\/span><\/a>in heat exchangers to prevent frost damage<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/a2g_fm.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Air flow<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/a2g_80.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span>quality<\/span><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/a48.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span>temperature<\/span><\/a>in ventilation ducts to control the condition of the air<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rather than sourcing differential pressure gauges from one manufacturer and temperature sensors from another, WIKA USA can supply the measuring technology for all your VAC needs.
