Its flow rate is determined with a suitable flow sensor. A pair of temperature sensors determines the “Warm pipe temperature” and the “Cold pipe temperature” of the heat transfer medium. As soon as ΔT > 0,2 K, the energy consumed is calculated.
11.7 Flow Calculation A flow calculation is based on recorded time between impulses that have been triggered by the flow sensor. For the first flow calculation, the calculator basically requires two volume pulses for the calculation of the effective flow. Depending on the configuration, the internal flow rate calculation and the immediate display of the current flow rate on the LCD display take place.
