These schematics illustrate temporary deployment locations for probes during the commissioning process; these probes connect to smartphone commissioning applications.
A duct leakage test is performed on a ducted heat pump system using a duct tester (blower fan) and a digital manometer.
A flow grid is inserted into the filter grille/slot to directly measure airflow.
A static pressure measurement is taken on this air handler using probes on the supply and return sides of the fan.
A vacuum decay test is performed on this ductless mini-split heat pump using a digital micron gauge for accurate measurement; a deep vacuum is achieved quickly by using large diameter, vacuum-rated hoses, and removing valve cores
Most residential heat pumps are installed incorrectly and with energy-wasting faults.
Quality installation and commissioning are critical to optimizing heat pump performance.
The PNNL Quality Install Tool simplifies and standardizes the documentation of HVAC installations and efficiency upgrades through photo-based prompts
