Differential Enthalpy: AirGenuity leads the way
Using differential enthalphy sensing for economizer control delivers significantly better results than dry bulb sensing, but the issue of maintaining and calibrating this type of sensor has limited its use in the market. Of course, dry bulb sensing has issues as well. Most standard dry bulb, temperature-based economizers can't function properly over any given length of time. Exposing sensors to outside elements makes them more prone to drift and failure. Additionally, the use of multiple sensors to calculate differential measurement can multiply the error of inaccurate sensors.
With OptiNet’s system architecture, a centralized sensor suite and a single, high quality sensor can be used with multiple benefits, including:
- Protection from outside elements and particles
- The use of a single sensor to achieve differential measurement
- Regular factory calibration every 6 months ensures accuracy
- Integration of data into Building Management Systems for accurate damper control
Differential enthalpy Economizer can improve energy savings by 15 – 100%. Maximum available free cooling is achieved with OptiNet’s control application. This allows your system to determine the optimum cooling effect and reduce operating costs.
