Designed for...

  • Monitoring critical applications (e.g. pharmaceutical and manufacturing facilities)
  • OEMs offering our award winning technology in their equipment
  • Situations requiring 24/7 data collection and reporting

Highlights

  • Specifically designed to monitor and protect refrigeration cycles in applications including air conditioning and refrigeration
  • Alternatively, the HVAC Service Assistant is service technician's data collection and diagnostic hand tool.
  • Install permanently on critical applications
  • Install temporarily to solve difficult intermittent or multiple simultaneous problems
  • Use to field test new technologies

Features

#1 Integrated calculation of air conditioning performance indices including evaporating and condensing saturation temperatures, superheat, subcooling, evaporator and condenser air/water temperature differences, condensing temperature over ambient, air dewpoint temperature, power phase factor, run-time hours, and cycle counts.

#2 Easy sensor installation Select sensors designed and tested for monitoring refrigeration cycles with the Virtual Mechanic, including refrigerant pressure and temperature, air temperature and humidity, current, voltage, power consumption, and digital inputs.

#3 Datalogging Collect only the data you need.

  • Steady-state datalogger logs at two different speeds when the unit is on and off. Log faster when the unit is running and providing more valuable data. For example, log every 5 minutes when the unit is on and every 30 minutes when off to capture changes in the weather or inside space conditions.
  • Transient datalogger captures the transient data after units turn on or off.
  • Lookback datalogger captures data before units turn off. Use to see what happened just before an oil failure tripped.
  • Event datalogger captures data after significant events including triggered alarms and equipment turning on and off.

#4 Protect compressors based on alarms including high/low superheat, low voltage, single phasing, and high temperature. Insert the VM's normally closed contact into a unit's safety loop.

#5 Notification of alarm conditions by direct page from the Virtual Mechanic or view alarm logs after data is transferred to the database.

#6 Easy data transfer with an extensive array of features.

  • Land-based or cellular telephone lines can be used for more permanent or temporary installations, respectively. The Virtual Mechanic can share existing phone lines by dialing out when scheduled.
  • On-line data collection status reports provide tools for managing data collection.
  • Data replication allows you to automatically share data and reports over the Internet.
  • Data collection service allows you to outsource data collection. Get status information on-line and maintain your own database of collected data that is update daily.

#7 Reports and Analysis based on data are available on-line or based on data on transferred to your PC. Features range from high level problem indications to lower level data visualization tools.

#8 Weather-tight packaging for indoor or outdoor installations.
