  • Publication number: 20240127641
    Abstract: An example method includes determining identifying information for a vehicle to be serviced. The method further includes receiving at least one symptom identifier for the vehicle. The method further includes sending a request over a communication network to a remote server for a PID filter list for the vehicle, the request comprising the identifying information for the vehicle and the at least one symptom identifier for the vehicle. The method additionally includes receiving a response to the request over the communication network from the remote server, the response comprising the PID filter list for the vehicle. The method further includes determining, based on the PID filter list for the vehicle, a symptom-based subset of PIDs for the vehicle from a set of available PIDs. The method additionally includes displaying, on a display interface, the symptom-based subset of PIDs for the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20130162387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermal cut off link safety fuse for use in a HVAC system. The thermal cut off link safety fuse disconnects the electrical circuit from the HVAC system's heating element when the thermal cut off link safety fuse melts upon reaching a temperature that exceeds a set temperature.

  • Patent number: 8186230
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring the airflow in an air handling unit, comprising a pressure plate with a plurality of apertures having a known surface area, a differential pressure manometer, and two. The first end of the leads is attached to a differential pressure manometer and second end of the leads is attached to the pressure plate. The pressure plate is placed in the filter rack of an air conditioning system the differential pressure manometer measures the differential pressure loss across the pressure plate allowing the user to determine airflow conditions and the location of obstructions. Additional embodiments of the system and method herein include placing two sensor tubes having apertures along the thereof at specific locations within the air handling unit that, when attached to a manometer, measure the differential pressure loss across the two locations. Various methods for establishing and monitoring proper airflow in an air handling unit are also contemplated.
