As we noted on Monday, this is embedded board week! Today we want to cover embedded applications for ATS’s family of ISD boards.
Our post on Monday covered what ATS’s embedded ISD boards are: an analog and a digital version that are both used for simultaneous, high speed measurements of air velocity and temperature. What applications can we use them for? Some of the embedded applications include laboratory fume hood air measurement; biohazard safety cabinets; industry baking ovens; clean rooms; telecommunications equipment; environmental controls/monitoring in BioTech manufacturing.
Let’s take a look at the benefit in using an embedded board for temperature and velocity measurement in these applications:
Laboratory Fume Hoods: Since air is the principle medium of containment a minimum air velocity must be maintained for this to be effective. An ISD board can automatically monitor that data, then help to regulate it’s consistency.
Biological Apps such as Biohazard Safety Cabinets: As with fume hoods, air is the principle medium of containment and insuring a regulated, consistent flow may be necessary. An ISD board will help insure a good monitor/feedback loop to insure consistency
Industrial Baking Ovens and other precisions food processing: Consistent air temperature is important to properly bake food. An ISD board, embedded in a commercial oven, can insure an optimal temperature by monitoring, logging and sending that information back.
Clean rooms: Air temperature and velocity are critical. The air in a clean room must meet stringent requirements in order for clean room processes to operate properly. An embedded ISD board can be the right solution to insure this.
Intelligent monitoring of telecomm equipment: With Verizon’s newest specification calling for thermal management, VZR.TPR.9208, an embedded ISD board can play a critical role within a telecommunications chassis or rack for intelligent cooling through air flow and temperature monitor and feedback.
Environmental Controls/Monitoring in BioTech Mfg: Under FDA regulation, air velocity and temp must be monitored and controlled. Also, when growing certain organisms, carefully controlled air temperature and velocity must be maintained. An embedded ISD board can do just the trick.
These are just a few of the applications for an embedded temperature and velocity measurement board such as ATS’s can play a key role to insure the proper operation of equipment.
