HVAC & Building Management

As world leaders in smart water quality, disinfection monitoring and control, ATi provides pioneering smart sensor solutions for HVAC systems.

Continuous monitoring of water quality within HVAC systems plays a vital role in ensuring the long-term health and longevity of building networks, avoiding costly repairs, replacement or downtime. Fluctuations in Pressure, pH and Conductivity could indicate a leak or burst, or alternatively can suggest an issue with the chemistry of the water, where the additives added to kill bugs and germs have become compromised.  Monitoring safe levels of Dissolved Oxygen also helps to maintain system health and prevents corrosion.

Even small changes in these water quality parameters can, over time, lead to the deterioration of the HVAC system which, if left unidentified, will require large scale repair or replacement.  Proactively identifying changes at an early stage helps to remove the risk of corrosion, while also potentially avoiding health issues such as outbreaks of legionella.

ATi’s unique HVAC MetriNet is the only monitoring instrument that can detect these subtle changes ahead of time, therefore preventing long-term and costly damage. Flexibility is key with this class-leading system, with its modular nature allowing unique monitoring solutions tailored for individual site requirements.  At the heart of ATi’s MetriNet solutions are the industry-leading digital M-Node sensors that are connected to the water supply using a purpose designed ‘click-connect’ flow cell arrangement. 

Through the provision of live, continuous data, ATi’s HVAC MetriNet provides a constant health-check and is key to protecting the lifespan of the HVAC system and the future of the building. Badger Meter’s complementary range of inline electromagnetic and ultrasonic technology, along with non-invasive fixed and portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow and energy meters, helps to create energy efficient HVAC solutions in mechanical building services, new build, retrofit HVAC plant and district heating-cooling networks
