4.2 Overview of Pressure/Flow @ 50 and @ 25 Modes
4.2.a Pressure/Flow @ 50 Mode:
The
Pressure/Flow @ 50
mode is used to conduct a one-point
Blower Door building airtightness test. In this mode,
Channel A
is used to measure building pressure while
Channel
B
is used to
display estimated building leakage at a test pressure of 50
Pascals. The leakage estimate shown on
Channel B
is
determined by mathematically adjusting the measured air flow
from the selected Blower Door fan using the real-time
Channel A
building pressure reading and a Can’t Reach
Pressure factor (see Section 4.8 below).
4.2.b Pressure/Flow @ 25 Mode:
The
Pressure/Flow @ 25
mode is a specialized mode used for
conducting a one-point total leakage duct airtightness test. In this
mode,
Channel A
is used to measure duct system pressure while
Channel
B
is used to display estimated total duct leakage at a
test pressure of 25 Pascals. The leakage estimate shown on
Channel B
is determined by mathematically adjusting the
measured air flow from the selected Duct Blaster fan using the real-time
Channel A
duct system pressure reading
and a Can’t Reach Pressure factor (see Section 4.8 below).
To select the
Pressure/Flow
@ 50
or
@ 25
modes, press the
MODE
button until the selected operating
mode shown o
n
the gauge display is
PR/ FL @50
or
PR/ FL @25
. When first entering either of these
two modes, the default pressure units on
Channel A
is Pascals, the default leakage units on
Channel B
is
CFM @ 50
or
25
, and the default time averaging period is
1 second average
.
