A heat meter, also known as a heat energy meter, is a meter used to measure and calculate the heat energy consumption in a heating or cooling system. It is widely used in central heating, air conditioning systems, industrial heat exchange, and other fields to help users or heating companies accurately measure the amount of heat energy used and achieve fair billing and energy management.
How to install a heat meter?
Installation positions of all parts of the flow meter (inc the parts of the flow sensor, temperature sensor, and calculator) should avoid being approached by sunlight, flooding, freezing, chemicals, and electromagnetic pollutions and should facilitate dismounting and metering.
Installation of ultrasonic heat meter
1) Before installation should thoroughly clean the system piping and clear the sand and other debris, avoid water meter failure.
2) Body level or vertical installation: Building water meter installation should be less than 0.8m from the ground;
3) Water flow direction should be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked on the meter body;
4) Before and after the pipe diameter to be consistent with the body diameter
What are the advantages of ultrasonic heat meters?
Compared with traditional mechanical heat meters, ultrasonic heat meters have the following significant advantages:
(1) High precision and long life
Using the ultrasonic time difference method for measurement, there are no mechanical moving parts, which avoids wear and tear and can maintain high precision after long-term use.
Not affected by water quality; suitable for hard water or media containing impurities.
(2) Low maintenance and no need for disassembly
No impeller or bearing structure, not easy to clog, reducing maintenance requirements.
(3) Wide range ratio
It can accurately measure extremely low flow rates to high flow rates, suitable for different working conditions.
(4) Data intelligence
Support wireless remote transmission (such as LoRa), convenient for remote meter reading and energy management.
Can be integrated into an intelligent heating system to achieve dynamic adjustment and energy saving and consumption reduction.
With its high precision, low maintenance, and intelligent characteristics, the ultrasonic heat meter is gradually replacing traditional mechanical meters and becoming the preferred solution in the field of heating metering. Whether it is a home, commercial building or industrial system, the correct selection and use of heat meters can help users achieve accurate metering, save energy, and reduce operating costs.
