Maintenance
For a typical HVAC environment - especially with upstream
filtration - there should be little to no required
maintenance. In extreme cases or for mishaps (bearing
grease in the taps for example), the flow meter is easily
cleanable. The fan inlet airflow measuring system is
extremely simple: a few pressure taps, a few fittings, and
some tubing. Although unlikely, if any tap were to get
clogged, simply disconnect each side of the transmitter
and blast air in a reverse direction through the system.
Constant K Factor
The constant K factor is unique for each fan and is
primarily a function of the area and other geometric
properties of the fan inlet. Pre-engineered factors are
available from the factory for fan types where the airflow
measurement system is available.
