DANTEC DYNAMICS ComfortSense application program


ComfortSense software

You can choose between 3 types of ComfortSense application programs, which all require a dongle. 1: Thermal Comfort Solution,

2: Flow and Temperature solution, 3: Single point Flow and Temperature solution – to be used together with ComfortSense Mini.

Local language can be selected in the lower left corner : English, German, French,Turkish, Chinese, Hindi, Swedish and Danish


ComfortSense – Start page- project and run structure

The start page gives you an overview of the application solutions installed, the individual projects and measurements

The user can lock-in as Administrator, Configurator or Operator.

On-line help can be turned On and OFF to give you more screen space.

With the filter section its easy to select your personal projects and runs within a given period of time


Asignment of probes from library to ComfortSense frame

When a ComfortSense frame is connected to the PC via the USB connector, the ComfortSense program will recognize the frame and show an Icon.

Below is a library of all installed probes with calibration date and status indication if recalibration is recommended.

To attach the probes needed from the library, simply drag and drop them to the frame. You will immediately get response with actual readings.

If a ComfortSense frame is not present you can simulate one and set up a measurement template


Definition of probe grid and measuring plane

Next step is to define the probes position in the measuring grid. This can be done either by key in the actual X-Y values or by moving the probe on the graph.

Finally the traversing step size of the grid is defined – Z value.

Instead of a measuring grid you can define a single point Y value, and then move this point according to your predefined table X,Z values.

3 types of grid layout can be selected: Grid Point -, Grid Plane - and Grid 3D layout


On-line display of probe data and warning indicator

Alarm level set-point

To give the operator a quick graphical presentation of the velocity levels as well as if any probe exceed a given velocity level, the operator can make a set-point on the alarm bar.

By clicking on any of the probes, the actual velocity reading will be shown to the right


Data presentation with contour plot

Scroll to display each run and see the related contour plot. Export of statistical values Velocity, Temperature, Turbulence intensity, Draught Rate, Operative temp and Humidity to Excel. The lower left graph show the mean velocity of the selected probes as a function of traversing steps.


Data presentation with with 3D contour plot

A 3D contour plot gives a direct and intuitive perception of the measured data, as well as to identify problematic zones. The operator can zoom, rotate and arrange all 3 planes individually as well as animate the 3 planes.


Thermal Comfort Solution – PMV and PPD calculation

Select activity level Choose clothing

In the application software “Thermal Comfort solution” the PMV and PPD calculations have been implemented. In the drop down menus MET and CLO, the operator can select activity level and dress the person

The measurement show that the PPD value increase when the room ventilation is increased.


Measuring Report

A measuring report can be generated either as an PDF document or as a HTML file.

Observe that a company logo can be implemented in the upper right corner “My Logo”
