Wireless Thermostats for Pneumatic Systems

The wireless pneumatic thermostat (WPT) can be retrofitted to an existing pneumatic control system. Researchers from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) found that WPTs give conventional pneumatic controls the energy-conserving functionality of more contemporary control systems, such as direct digital controls. They cost much less.
