A clamp meter with temperature is a tool designed for both electrical and temperature measurements. It combines the functionality of a standard clamp meter with the ability to measure temperature using a probe. This makes it particularly valuable for HVAC applications, as it allows technicians to diagnose and troubleshoot issues related to both electrical components and temperature regulation within heating and cooling systems.

Temperature Measurements:

• Surface temperature - use the probe to measure the temperature of pipes, ducts, heat exchangers, and other surfaces, verifying proper heat transfer and identifying potential insulation issues.
• Air temperature - measure air temperature at various points in the system to assess airflow distribution and system performance.
• Differential temperature - Compare temperatures between different points in the system to diagnose blockages, leaks, or other issues affecting heat transfer.

Benefits for HVAC applications:

• Multifunctionality - combines multiple tools in one, improving efficiency and reducing the need to carry separate instruments.
• Non-invasive measurements - measure current without interrupting circuits and measure temperature without touching hot surfaces, improving safety.
• Fast and accurate troubleshooting - quickly identify electrical and temperature-related issues

Some models offer additional features like:

• True RMS measurement
• Data logging
• Bluetooth connectivity

Overall, a clamp meter with temperature is a valuable tool for HVAC technicians, offering efficient, safe, and accurate measurements for diagnosing and troubleshooting electrical and temperature-related issues within heating and cooling systems.
