The TotalSense Lab – An Inside Look
Savvy contractors know that TotalSense fluid analysis kits are the sensible way to test fluids used in HVAC/R equipment and applications. But where does the sample go after the contractor mails it out?
“Once contractors send out their sample in the provided package, it goes to a laboratory, where TotalSense fluid analysis services are performed,” said Totaline® category manager Mike Zales, adding that the laboratory specializes in the testing of fluids specific to the HVAC/R industry. “Our services are dedicated to HVAC/R sample analyses.”
Additionally, Zales explained that the TotalSense lab is staffed with well-trained individuals. “Our technical staff is highly experienced in the chemistry of HVAC/R fluids,” Zales said, “and they’re supported by a completely qualified mechanical engineering staff.” He added that this level of specialization is what makes the TotalSense lab an invaluable resource to HVAC/R technicians.
“The qualifications of the TotalSense lab staff are reflected in their analytic reports. These reports do a great job of translating the test results into meaningful service recommendations that have real value in providing a successful maintenance program,” Zales said. Questions regarding interpretation of analytical results or recommendations can be addressed to the lab’s analytic staff by phone, fax, or e-mail, he added.
“The TotalSense lab is the single source for the analytical testing needs for service personnel,” Zales said. “And TotalSense testing kits are readily available at all Totaline sale center locations.” Testing kits available include: lubricant analysis; refrigerant analysis; lithium bromide analysis; glycol heat transfer fluid analysis; water analysis; and filter analysis. Engineering and analytical support is available by calling 1-877-460-7575. You can also visit the TotalSense lab website at www.fluidanalysisservices.com.
