ENERGY Flowmeters

SmartMeasurement

Heat or energy flow meters are designed to measure heat consumption, heat loss, or energy available within a flow stream. Energy flowmeters consist of two sensors: a flow meter to measure flow and either a single or a pair of temperature sensors. Both flow and temperature information are sent to a system controller, where it calculates the volume heat flow within a pipe. If the requirement is to measure the amount of energy available within a flow stream, a single temperature sensor is used, or, if the application requires monitoring energy usage, then a matched pair of temperature sensors (such as two thermocouples) are used and calibrated together as a pair to make sure that the temperature difference between the input and output of the system is measured.
