Its flow rate is determined with a suitable flow sensor. A pair of temperature sensors determine the “warm pipe temperature” and the “cold pipe temperature” of the heat transfer medium. When ΔT > 0,2 K, the energy con- sumed is calculated.
11.7 Flow Calculation Flow calculation is based on the time elapsed between impulses from the flow sensor. For the first flow calculation, the calculator 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.
