How does an ultrasonic heat meter work?
In heat exchange systems, flow pipe sections are installed on the fluid inlet or return pipe. A pair of temperature sensors are installed on the fluid inlet and return pipe respectively. According to the flow rate given by the flow sensor and the supply and return water temperature signal given by the paired temperature sensor, as well as the time of water flow. Use the calculator to calculate and display the thermal energy released or absorbed by the system.
What is ultrasonic BTU meter?
A BTU meter, also known as an energy meter, is a device used to measure the amount of heat energy produced or consumed in a heating or cooling system. Common BTU meters include ultrasonic and electromagnetic types.
BTU is British Thermal Unit. 1 BTU is the amount of heat required to heat 1 pound of pure water from 59 degrees Fahrenheit to 60 degrees Fahrenheit at an atmospheric pressure of 14.696 pounds per square inch. Btu is British thermal unit (English system), and Btu/h is “British thermal unit per hour”, because 1 (British thermal unit) = 1055.056 (joule), and 1 watt = 1 joule/second.
Ultrasonic BTU meter, often a staple in the HVAC industry. These meters utilize ultrasonic technology to provide accurate readings, ensuring optimal performance of systems such as chillers and other cooling or heating units.
