Venstar announced that the PizzaRev chain is using Venstar’s Wireless Temperature Sensors and ColorTouch touchscreen thermostats with Venstar’s Skyport™ Cloud Services to keep its stores cool and comfortable despite the use of 900-degree pizza ovens.
“Venstar’s Wireless Temperature Sensors and ColorTouch thermostats give us the ability to remotely manage and control energy usage and costs at our stores while keeping our customers comfortable,” said Jonathan Castillo, maintenance manager for PizzaRev.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Engineering researchers at The University of Alabama are part of a nationwide project to find ways of reducing energy used to heat, cool, and ventilate buildings.
Dr. Zheng O’Neill, UA assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is leading a team developing testing standards and control strategies for sensors used to control HVAC in commercial and residential buildings.
This product has small, flat sensors with a footprint of 8 x 13 mm and a height of less than 7 mm. The humidity temperature dew point (HTD) differential pressure sensors feature digital signal processing with 15-bit resolution, a serial peripheral interface (SPI), and an analog output signal.
This networked sensor solution has the capability to connect with up to 10 configurable parameters related to a space. The updated SMART-Sensor design is centered around a new EPD — a low-profile, plastic, and glass enclosure with capacitive touch buttons.
The humidity sensor, SHTC1, has been designed to overcome conventional limits for size, power consumption, and price-performance ratio in order to fulfill the requirements of the consumer electronics market.
Breez is a plug-and-play controller ideal for both the already installed or newly procured ductless systems with a remote control. The product has built-in temperature, humidity, and luminosity sensors.
The AQ Pro-F includes a dynamic formaldehyde sensor (0-10 ppm), and the standard model includes temperature, RH percentage, barometric air pressure, and differential pressure.
The design of the new Micro-Measurements hybrid sensor range incorporates the brand’s own precision foil strain gages, which are adhesively bonded to flat substrates, constructed of either metal — composite or polymer. Hybrid sensors are manufactured by VPG using the same high-volume production equipment as those used to create its precision strain gages.
Carrier has enhanced the Carrier i-Vu building automation system to include a line of self-powered, wireless space sensors. These sensors provide flexible installation options, which allow building climates to be controlled for optimum comfort and energy efficiency.
The Model DX primary method chilled mirror dew/frost point sensor features an integral PRT temperature sensor, wide operating range, and improved temperature stability.
