Customer
Smart Balancing, a Swedish clean-tech company specializing in the development and marketing of equipment for balancing heating and cooling systems.
Challenge
Achieving optimum performance in heating and cooling systems requires periodic HVAC balancing using specialized equipment. Properly balanced HVAC equipment not only reduces energy costs but also enhances comfort and minimizes environmental impact. The customer's challenge was to develop software for their new balancing equipment, facilitating communication between sensors and mobile devices, visualizing valve performance, calculating optimal system characteristics, and maintaining a history of changes.
Solution
To address the customer's needs, we delivered a comprehensive software ecosystem within the projected timeline. The HVAC balancing complex includes a measuring sensor, mobile device software, and a data management system. The sensor acquires data from HVAC valves, which is then transmitted to the mobile device (edge device) and subsequently to the data storage. Technicians use the sensor to adjust the system for optimum performance, and the measured data and system settings are saved for future HVAC equipment balancing.
To ensure proper balancing, our system incorporates an extensive library containing information about a wide range of balancing valves available on the market. The system's flexibility allows users to expand the list of supported equipment easily. The mobile device provides users with access to readings, data export to the data storage, and the option to send reports via email. The central storage serves as a repository for information, collecting data from mobile devices, and generating comprehensive reports. We implemented automatic data synchronization between different devices for seamless data management.
Results
The implementation of our software solution facilitates adjustments of cooling and heating systems to pre-calculated values, leading to enhanced comfort and reduced energy consumption. The user-friendly interface simplifies monitoring and data collection, boosting personnel efficiency and streamlining operations.
Our IoT application for HVAC balancing instruments empowers wireless balancing tools, providing Smart Balancing with a powerful and efficient software HVAC solution.
