  • Page 7: Application Field

    Application Field APPLICATION FIELD The Dynasonics® UHC100 ultrasonic heating and cooling energy meter (hereinafter referred to as “the meter”) is designed to measure the consumption of heating and cooling energy and record data in two separate registers It is used in individual or district heating facilities (for example, residential buildings, enterprises, organizations or supply facilities) for the commercial metering of consumed energy where water is the heat carrier This is a compact microprocessor meter for mounting optionally either at the supply or return heat exchange circulation...

  • Page 8: Operating Principle

    Operating Principle OPERATING PRINCIPLE The flow rate is measured on the basis of the ultrasonic measurement principle The ultrasonic signal is sent along the flow sensor upstream and downstream between the ultrasonic sensors, which alternately perform transmitter and receiver functions The flow rate is calculated on the basis of the measured propagation time difference (downstream and upstream) The temperature differential between the supply and return flows is measured by resistive temperature sensors The electronic unit calculates the amount of consumed heat energy by integrating over time the difference of the enthalpies of supply and return heat carrier and provides the data on the display...
