App Concept

SpikeSnap HVAC Diagnostics

SpikeSnap continuously logs pressure, temperature, and airflow data at high speed, automatically detecting and recording intermittent high head pressure spikes and correlating them with other sensor readings. It provides actionable diagnostics for elusive transient faults in RTUs and packaged units, enabling technicians to quickly identify root causes.

Key Features

Continuous high-speed data logging (sub-second intervals) for pressure, temperature, and airflow sensors
Automated spike detection and alerting when intermittent high head pressure events occur
Correlation analysis across multiple sensors at the exact moment of the spike
Visual timeline playback of transient events for post-event diagnosis

Target Users: HVAC field technicians and service engineers diagnosing intermittent faults in commercial and residential RTUs, packaged units, and systems with microchannel condensers.

Revenue Model: Freemium with basic logging; paid subscription for high-speed recording, advanced analytics, and cloud storage ($19.99/month or $199/year).

PakDiagnose Pro

HVAC technicians cannot properly diagnose and repair high head pressure issues on Magic Pak units because the design prevents running the unit when the coolant tray is pulled, blocking access to critical components like the TXV and condenser fan.

HVAC4HighField Technician

SpikeSnap HVAC Diagnostic Logger

Intermittent high head pressure spikes in an RTU with microchannel condenser, despite verified charge, new components, and clean coils—only occurs randomly and briefly, making diagnosis impossible with current tools.

HVAC4HighHVAC Technician

ChillTrace Intermittent Analyzer

Intermittent, unpredictable high head pressure spikes in an HVAC RTU that trip the safety switch, making diagnosis extremely difficult.

HVAC4HighHVAC Technician

Difficulty diagnosing intermittent cooling failure caused by a faulty TXV, leading to uncertainty in repair decisions.
