Dave Blackwell’s Approach: Beyond the Spreadsheet
Dave explains that offering specialized air filtration advice entails more than just providing a spreadsheet. This could mean a phone call, or often, a personal site visit to assess each air handling unit and understand the specific applications. Dave highlights the importance of understanding the physical dimensions of the air handler unit, the type of filters it can accommodate, the particular application, the contaminant load, and the characteristics of the surrounding environment.
The Essence of an Air Filter Survey
In the video, Dave is explaining the process of conducting a thorough air filter survey. This process is crucial because it uncovers critical information that a simple spreadsheet can’t show. By personally assessing the site and the air handling units, Camfil can provide tailored recommendations that align perfectly with the needs of the HVAC system and the specific environment in which it operates.
Why This Matters for HVAC Managers
For HVAC managers, a hands-on, detail-oriented approach is key. It ensures that the air filters chosen are not just fitting in terms of size and type but are also the most efficient and effective for the unique challenges of the specific application and situation.
