Airflow Control Solutions

Paragon Controls, Inc.

Paragon Controls Incorporated (PCI), established in 1984, designs and manufactures airflow and pressure sensing elements, transducers, monitoring systems, and control systems. PCI's goal is to provide cost-effective airflow and pressure measurement systems without sacrificing quality, reliability, performance, accuracy or customer support. As a result, PCI is able to make industrial quality airflow and pressure measurement systems available to the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) market that once were considered to be cost-prohibitive.

PCI Primary Sensing Elements are designed for use in HVAC airside systems or industrial process control loops. The Primary Sensing Elements provide output signals readily convertible to air velocity, air volume, and differential pressures by devices such as indicating meters, transducers, and controllers. PCI has designed and manufactured Primary Sensing Elements to meet the needs of all commercial and most industrial applications since 1984. PCI Primary Sensing Elements are installed worldwide as part of systems requiring continuous signals for HVAC or industrial automatic control, alarming, and process indication.

All PCI Primary Sensing Elements (Flow Sensing Elements [FE Series] and Pressure Sensing Elements [PE Series]) are multi-point self-averaging devices. The output of the duct-mounted FE Series is differential (velocity) pressure used to indicate airflow quantity at the point of measurement. PE Series output signals are the actual static pressures at the element locations.

The accuracy of PCI's families of FEs and PEs has been independently qualified in accordance with Figure 7 in the testing procedure of American National Standards Institute/Air Movement and Control Association (ANSI/AMCA) Standard 210-85. However, it is more important to note that the stated accuracy of all PCI devices is constantly being field-validated by independent test and balance firms; their balance reports document conformance to specifications and confirm the superior operating performance of PCI commissioned systems.
