AIRTEST RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT NEW ORDER
ATI Airtest Technologies Inc. has secured an order from a major electrical engineering firm to provide 24,000 Airtest sensor products, for installation in 12,000 new telecom shelters, which house electronics for cellular relay stations.
According to Airtest's president, George Graham, this order will result in an income of $76,000 per month on a continuing basis for the next 30 months, for a total of $2.28-million. The first shipment of sensors are being shipped immediately, and the second shipment will be completed before the end of December.
The Airtest sensors being used in this project measure dew point and temperature, and will significantly increase the energy efficiency of each of the shelters. Each station uses an outside and an inside sensor to ensure outside air will be used for cooling when outside temperature and moisture conditions are suitable. Depending on the location and climate, this could eliminate hundreds and perhaps thousands of hours of air conditioning operation which is necessary to ensure the shelter's electrical and electronic equipment does not overheat.
Mr. Graham stated that Airtest was selected as the major supplier of this product for two reasons. First the company was able to demonstrate that due to their weather station quality, the Airtest products had the long-term dependability and stability necessary for maintenance-free operation for seven to 10 years. Because of the remote nature of these structures, a service to repair or replace sensors could be prohibitively expensive if standard-grade HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) sensors where used. Second, Airtest was able to demonstrate that its concept of using dew point sensing in this control strategy would maximize the accuracy and energy savings of this free cooling approach. Airtest offers a detailed white paper on this innovative approach on its website, which contributed greatly to the the selection of Airtest as a supplier to this project.
