Duct Temperature Sensor - The duct static temperature sensor measures air temperature in the ductwork. The solid-state temperature sensing devices are commonly used in HVAC applications that are controlled by direct digital control or a modern building automation system. At the base of the box is a probe that sticks into the air stream of the ductwork. As the air passes over it, the probe changes resistance. (more…)
This is a horizontal flow air handler installed in the attic. Notice the drain pan under the air handling unit to catch condensation if the primary pan were to overflow. This is the secondary condensation pan which is installed under the air handler to save a ceiling.
Also slightly visible is a float switch which offers triple protection against flooding in an attic if the primary drain were to plug up. The primary and secondary drains coming from the air handler also drain into condensation pumps. These pumps have floats inside them and a reservoir. (more…)
HVAC Tip - Some people refer to refrigerant as Freon. So when something is wrong with their HVAC system they say, “I have a Freon leak”. Freon is a name trademarked by Dupont for R-22.

While Freon will soon be a thing of the past, the name Freon has found its way in our lexicon as a reference to refrigerant, any type of refrigerant.
