Sporlan coming with a wireless (bluetooth) refrigeration analyzer

What would depend on usage? It could run more hours than 40?
40 hours sounds good if it is a minimum.
Is there a constant setting vs reading like every 10 seconds or something?
The should really list the minimum you can expect. It is not dependent on usage.

I agree. The guy wasn't real clear. He said there was no documentation but it was mentioned in a meeting and he made note of it.

Aarrgg, coin batteries!!

That link says thermistors for temp.
Just got a lot more interested in this system!

It's probably going to depend on the usage. Having longer read times probably use more battery life than shorter reads. I'm not sure any battery can state how long they will absolutely last.

You turn it on and start a stop watch. This isn't that hard to measure and publish. Usage is not a varriable this way. They might be wishy washy and say 40 hrs under normal use.

iOS is easier to develop for, fewer versions and resolutions to write for.

Guys that are willing to spend money to get the best equipment out there tend to spend the money for iPhones. They tend to go together.

It will have to be around $400 for me to buy it.

[Dchappa21]

The was the price the sporlan rep told me... I'm sure he didn't want to say anything to low because it was in front of a wholesaler. So yes $400 sounds like a decent price.

[CFESAmasterEGSR]

So are these available now? And where?

Try a Cooper 4011
It has less mass than 80pk
And better insulated from ambient influence

Isn't the 4011 a thermistor? A bit more accurate but slower to respond? With a 80pk thermocouple you see right away when liquid floods back. No delay, and the accuracy of a 80pk thermocouple is very close to a thermistor,

Here's the youtube video.

Same deal with a 4011. On a system they are every bit as fast to respond and less total mass when you take into account the total size. They use a thin wire not incapsulated in epoxy like many typical thermistors you see around. The Cooper does a better job at sheilding away external ambient as well.

Are these for sale yet?

[Brent Ridley]

Are these for sale yet?

Yes. They're available now.

Saw a video where the guy was stoked about this kit. From the close ups of the clamps I'm not so sure this thing is going to be all that accurate after all. Will have to wait on the compairson videos I guess. Wireless doesn't look like it will would go through obstructions very well if at all.

[eddiegoodfellar]

That's a shame. I was interested because it was so simple.

It looks like the I-Connect is miles ahead of the competition from what I've seen so far.

Search youtube for "T and N services". Ralph has posted several videos showcasing the Sporlan Smart Tool in action.
