Intorduction

Thermal Thinkers Inc performs critical testing, adjusting and balancing of commercial air conditioning and ventilation systems. We cover the New York metropolitan area and specialize in the commercial and medical applications. As the heating ventilating and air conditioning field has become more complex over the years so have the systems that maintain our comfort. As these systems tend to get more complicated and costly to run the need for balancing has increased.

Older Systems

In the past testing and balancing was the last stage in a long process of designing, fabricating and installing a commercial air conditioning system. While it was the designer responsibility to create a system based on heat load estimate calculations, it is the balancers job to get the air where it is supposed to go. It is not unusual for a building that was built in the early 70's to have a greater heat load now then was originally calculated due to the proliferation of computers, monitors and copy machines etc. This situation puts great demands on the HVAC system to perform at its maximum capacity, which can be costly if the system is not properly balanced.

Commercial Environments

In some commercial environments it is necessary to retro commission the HVAC system to meet the greater heat loads and or remodeling of a portion of the building. In this situation it is necessary to test the system prior to redesign and again after a system modification or upgrade to verify the results. With the introduction of digital controls and variable air volume systems it is necessary to perform a careful and complete inspection and take numerous air flow readings in order to properly balance the system as designed.

Deficiencies

The only way to document deficiencies in a system is to perform a rigorous inspection that encompasses all aspects of your system including the fan, water and pump, air distribution and control systems. Many commercial spaces require a certain number of air changes per hour as defined by city, state and federal regulations. We document the condition of your system to verify compliance or to bring to light a potential problem so that they may be addressed.
