Built on ASHRAE standard measurement methods, the patent-pending KMC ConquestTM Airflow Measurement System delivers accurate, repeatable measurements in nearly any equipment type.

The KMC Conquest Airflow Measurement System (AFMS) reliably provides accurate outside, return, and supply airflow data for monitoring and control. The system delivers accurate, repeatable results on any type of equipment, without the traditionally expected mechanical limitations, performance

KMC Conquest AFMS Video Demo

In this video, Erich Kreuter, KMC's VP of Product Development, walks through their popular demo of our new KMC Conquest Airflow Measurement System. This video is the next best thing if you can't see the demo in person.

The system measures outside and return air by characterizing damper performance. A characterization curve allows the controller to determine airflow percentages at each angle of the damper. The system’s programming generates the curve using a Learn Mode sequence, leveraging the relationship between the inclinometer and a mixed air equation. During Learn Mode, the damper is positioned at several known points. At each point, the airflow and outside, return, and mixed air temperatures readings are allowed to stabilize before being sampled and averaged. Thereafter, the sensors are no longer needed to measure the airflow rates, but can be left installed for recalibration and fault-detection purposes.

AFMS Features:

Based on ASHRAE standards 62.1, 111, and 189.1
Fewer mechanical limitations or ongoing maintenance
Measurement determined from characterized system performance

Native Interoperability with Building Management Systems
Compatible with nearly any equipment type
Accurate Outside, Supply, and Return Airflow measurements for monitoring and control

Accurate Airflow Measurement

The KMC Conquest AFMS provides accurate and repeatable measurements for Outside, Supply, and Return airflow and is unaffected by ambient weather, airborne pollutants, or bends and restrictions in mechanical air delivery systems. Embedded performance diagnostics monitor system performance to ensure accuracy of readings.

Automated Commissioning

The KMC Conquest Airflow Measurement System programmatically characterizes system performance during commissioning, leveraging the same methods as a TAB technician. After commissioning, integrated equipment control and system diagnostics are provided to routinely monitor and report performance.

IAQ Regulation Compliance

Ventilation has been recognized as the first line of defense for healthy buildings. Smart infrastructure and high-performing buildings guidelines stipulate that the accurate measurement of outdoor airflow rates are a fundamental component of healthy and energy efficient building operation.

SMART Building Ready

The KMC Conquest Airflow Measurement System is interoperable with any building automation and IoT system, delivering system performance data and diagnostics for equipment analytics. The AFMS can operate in conjunction with existing equipment controls to empower high performance building sequences.
