| Pressure is the driving force that moves air around a home - pressure generated naturally by the wind or stack effect or pressure generated mechanically through fans and blowers. Understanding the pressures in the house can help to determine how polluted air moves from one place to another.
The testo 510 differential pressure manometer can be used to measure the difference in pressure between the house and the attached garage. If the pressure in the garage is generally higher in the garage than in the house, polluted air will flow into the house, bringing in carbon monoxide and other unhealthy gases. An exhaust fan from the garage should be strong enough to lower the pressure in the garage effectively.
The testo 510 can also be used to perform diagnostic tests such as Total External Pressure (TESP) plus measure duct velocities and manifold pressures. |
