Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to a method for monitoring a heat exchanger unit that may include the steps of: coupling the heat exchanger unit with a heat generating device; associating a monitoring module with an airflow side of the heat exchanger unit; operating the monitoring module whereby a microcontroller performs tasks related to providing an indication; and taking an action based on the indication. The monitoring module includes an at least one sensor proximate to the airflow side; a logic circuit in operable communication with the at least one sensor, and further comprising the microcontroller.

Method for monitoring a heat exchanger unit

A sensor assembly that includes a mounting frame; and a support platform coupled with the mounting frame. The support platform has a top platform surface with a circuit board disposed thereon. The circuit board is operably configured with a secondary microcontroller and a Hall effect sensor. There is an inner sensor housing configured to extend out and around the circuit board and the support platform. There is a first magnet coupled to an underside of the inner sensor housing. There is a rotating member configured with a plurality of blades and a rotating member mounting ring, the rotating member is proximately disposed on top of the inner sensor housing.
