Abstract
A smartphone-operated wireless HVAC airflow anemometer device and system includes an anemometer device having an impeller assembly, an inductor and a controller. A magnet within the impeller assembly generates an oscillating current in the inductor which is proportional to the rotational rate of the impeller. A controller captures and transmits this information wirelessly to an airflow balancing application located on a smartphone device that includes a plurality of algorithms for calculating airflow information. An environmental sensor unit, and an electronic compass are also located within the wireless anemometer device.
Claims19
An airflow anemometer system, comprising:
- an airflow balancing application that includes machine readable instructions for execution on a smartphone device having a processor, a memory, internet connectivity, and a display screen, said application functioning to
- generate an airflow balancing icon on the display screen, and
- calculate and display airflow information;
- and
- an anemometer device that includes
- a main body having an external surface that defines an internal cavity,
- an impeller assembly that is positioned within the main body, and
- a controller that is in communication with the impeller assembly, said controller functioning to generate airflow data, and to transmit the generated airflow data to the airflow balancing application.
