Product Details:
- For Testing Windows In-Frame
- Displays Four Real-Time Measurements of Windows: The Estimated
SHGC Value Along With the UV, Visible Light, and Infrared
Transmission Values
- Completely Portable With Convenient Handle for Taking
Measurements
- Convenient Carrying Case Included
The
CRL Window Energy Profiler allows you
to test actual windows that have already had the sash or frame
attached to the window. The instrument can test windows in the
factory, but more importantly it can test windows in the field that
have already been installed. Simply open the window and slide the
WP4500 around the profile of the window to conduct your performance
measurement. The opening of the instrument is actually large enough
to fit around the entire frame of many replacement windows before
they are installed. The WP4500 measures the UV(A) (ultraviolet),
Visible Light (VLT), and Near Infrared (NEAR IR) transmission
values for a given window or window film. The instrument also
estimates the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) values for
transparent Low E and clear windows. The SHGC calibration of this
instrument is NOT intended for use with tinted, colored or
reflective (mirrored) surfaces, including window film products.
Being a self-contained system, there are no additional light
sources or power cords necessary and no adjustments to make. Simply
slide the instrument around the profile of the window and watch the
resulting performance data appear on the display.
Applications Include:
- For the replacement window market, the WP4500 can be used as a
sales tool to evaluate the poor performance of a homeowner's
existing windows showing the need for replacement windows. You can
test the customer's existing windows an then use the same
instrument to show the excellent performance of the energy
efficient window product you are selling.
- For window film applications, you can conduct very quick and
easy before-and-after demonstrations by adding a piece of film to
the window to show the results.
- For job-site inspections in the field, you can confirm the
performance of windows when they arrive at the jobsite to ensure
the correct product was received.
- In the field, the WP4500 can be used to differentiate different
types of Low E coatings. By comparing the measurement results from
the WP4500 to the performance data sheet figures of various Low E
coatings, you can roughly identify the type of Low E used in the
window. This is a great aid for those troublesome customer
complaints that are challenging whether they received the correct
windows.
- In the factory, double-check windows in the production
environment to make sure the correct Low E was used in assembling
the window. The WP4500 can be very helpful in identifying windows
that are mislabeled or not marked at all.
