Low-E glass is a vital component of energy efficient windows. It has a virtually invisible coating which the tool is designed to detect. The Merlin Low-E Coating Detector is a duel purpose tester designed to detect Pilkington K-Glass and all other Low-Emissivity coatings on single and double glazed units and indicate on which surface it is present.
Simply place the tool onto the glass to be tested, if the tool detects the presence of a coating on the piece of glass an audible tone will be heard and the green indicator light will be illuminated. In
this way installers and inspectors can verify the presence of the coating and the correct orientation of the unit.
Low-E glass is a vital component of energy efficient windows. It has a virtually invisible surface coating which this detector is designed to detect. The coating itself works as follows: • It allows heat from the sun in the form of shortwave radiation to enter the building through the glazing. • This solar energy along with any heating system will warm up the room, this in turn gives off long wavelength heat radiation. • A large proportion of this long wave radiation would disappear through windows made of ordinary glass. However, the Low-E coating reflects this heat back into the room making it more energy efficient.
