What is Calorimeter?
What is Calorimeter (Heat meter)?
Heat is the energy transferred from the limits of a system at a given temperature to a system of lower temperature, due to the temperature difference. Heat is an energy transfer form like work. The heat can be determined at system boundaries and in transition. Both are a curve function. Heat is a kind of energy that provides the temperature that a hot substance conveys to the cold matter.

The heat meter is the device where this energy is measured. The place of use is generally to determine the consumption values of the heat transfer devices to be the basis for payment.
Its widespread use in buildings is after the Law on Energy Efficiency in Buildings.
They are used to measure the amount of heat consumed in heating and cooling systems. It is used in systems with central heating system and installation structure with collector (mobile).
The heat meter calculates the difference between by measuring the flow temperature and the return temperature with external (on the body of the compact meters) and internal temperature sensors. It also finds the energy consumed by momentary measuring the passing flow.What is Mechanical Calorimeter?
The mechanical calorimeter works with the turbine system like water meters and measures the amount of water passing through it volumetrically. In this calorimeter system, the measurement is done mechanically and the calculation is carried out with the electronic calculation unit.
What is Ultrasonic Calorimeter?
Ultrasonic calorimeter performs water flow measurement by ultrasonic method. There is no mechanical part. All measurement and calculation processes are performed in electronic environment. The calculation unit also performs flow measurement.
Heat meters components
Measures the amount of heating water circulating in the radiator of the apartment.
Flowmeter: Measures the amount of heating water circulating in the radiator of the apartment.
Temperature Sensor Pair: Measures the temperature value of the heating water before it enters the apartment and the temperature value of the exit from the apartment after it circulates in the radiators.
Calculation Unit: Calculates the amount of heat consumed and stores in memory the previous consumption amounts.
HOW DOES THE CALORIMETER (HEAT METER) WORK?

HOW TO MAKE HEAT EXPENSE SHARING WITH ATLAS CALORIMETER
Nowadays where increasing energy costs become one of the biggest costs, it is a system that promotes efficient use of energy. In addition, it is a system that ensures that in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, everyone only pay as much as their own consumed.
Calorimeters (Heat Meters) with PT500 and PT1000 sensors
Temperature sensor pairs were preferred by PT1000 or PT500 at the production stage. Some manufacturers use PT100 sensors. However, generally PT500 and PT1000 sensors are preferred in the current application. These sensors are used as sensor pairs and is pay attention that there is as little difference as possible between the two sensors accuracy.
Basically both types of sensors are the same as precision. The difference is only in the process of evaluating the data obtained during the measurement. There is no difference in using PT1000 or PT500 sensors for the user.
As shown below, one of the sensors is mounted on the calorimeter itself and the other is mounted on the input line.
What is a Compact, Combined and Hybrid Calorimeter?
The calorimeter consists of 3 main parts. These:
- Calculation Unıt
- Flowmeter
- Temperature sensor
If these three parts are in separate sections it is called Combined Calorimeter, if the parts are placed on the same whole it is called the compact calorimeter.
Hybrid calorimetry is used in systems where heating and cooling can be done on the same line. It can an calculate both heating and cooling energy consumption.
Atlas Calorimeters is compact structure, in case desired can be converted into a combined structure.
How much the calibration time of the ATLAS calorimeter?
CALIBRATION OF HEAT METERS
ATLAS heat meters are put up for sale after calibrated in our high-tech calibration laboratories. Furthermore, according to the law, heat meters with mechanical flowmeters should be calibrated once every 5 (five) years. In our calibration laboratories, our heat meters can be recalibrated and also heat meters of other brands which are compatible with mechanical of our meters can be calibrated by our company.
