Labnics Air Flow Capture Hood NACH-200


AIR FLOW CAPTURE HOOD NACH-200 – HVAC Airflow Measurement Instrument

What is Air Flow Capture Hood NACH-200? 

Air Flow Capture Hood NACH-200 is a device used to measure total volumetric airflow from HVAC diffusers, vents, and grilles.

It is used for HVAC balancing, ventilation testing, and indoor air quality verification.

Key Takeaway 

  • Measures total airflow from HVAC diffusers

  • Used in HVAC balancing and commissioning

  • Works in CFM and m³/h units

  • Used in cleanrooms, hospitals, and commercial buildings

  • Provides direct airflow readings without duct access

Why Air Flow Capture Hood Is Important 

Problem: HVAC systems often have uneven airflow distribution, causing poor ventilation and inefficiency.

System: Air Flow Capture Hood NACH-200 measures diffuser airflow to ensure balanced and optimized air distribution.

How Does Air Flow Capture Hood NACH-200 Work? 

The device measures airflow by capturing air directly at the diffuser outlet.

Working Steps:

  1. Hood is placed over diffuser or vent

  2. Air enters sealed measurement chamber

  3. Sensors calculate volumetric airflow

  4. Data is processed internally

  5. Result is displayed digitally in CFM or m³/h

Simple meaning: It converts HVAC airflow into measurable digital data.

Air Flow Capture Hood vs Other HVAC Tools

Air Flow Capture Hood measures total airflow directly, while other tools measure partial airflow data.

  • Anemometer → measures air velocity at a point

  • Pitot tube → duct pressure-based airflow

  • Air velocity meter → localized speed measurement

  • Capture hood → total diffuser airflow measurement

Methods of Airflow Measurement

The device works using:

  • Enclosure method: captures full diffuser airflow

  • Sensor method: measures airflow volume inside chamber

  • Digital conversion: displays airflow in standard units
