Which Should be Preferred?
What is the difference between mechanical and ultrasonic calorimeter?
Although the mechanical and ultrasonic calorimetry is perform basically the same function, the measurement systems are different. The resulting measurement and calculation information are the same but these systems have advantages and disadvantages compared to each other. In a clean closed system, ultrasonic calorimetry will always give better results. It should be known that mechanical systems tend to show deficiency over time. In ultrasonic systems, this defect rate is lower and the meter works more stable over time.
CONSIDERATIONS IN TRANSITION TO CALORIMETER SYSTEM
- Calorimeters should be selected according to your heating system. Selected Calorimeter with a larger flow rate or diameter than required can result in very large errors in measurement result. If minimum flow rate of used calorimeter is a high, part of the energy used in the system may not be calculated. You can choose suitable product according to technical specifications of Atlas calorimeter catalog.
- Choosing the right type of calorimeter should be selected by planning the automation system. If there is a suitable wiring environment or existing wiring, a calorimeter with a wired MBUS system is appropriate. If there is no suitable environment for cabling, in this case a calorimeter with Wireless MBUS system the choice will be more appropriate.
- The calorimeter of your choice must be in accordance with EN1434, MID must be CE marked in accordance with the current measuring instruments directive. Also when receiving the product you should consideration whether the manufacturer has valid certificates. You can choose one of the products that Atlas Calorimeter to EN1434 norms and CE marking.
- When installing the calorimeter, it is very important to place a shut-off valve on the front and the back of the calorimeter and filter before the inlet. You can examine the assembly diagram from the Atlas Calorimeter catalog.
WHICH SHOULD BE PREFERRED, CALORIMETER OR HEATING
Which one, Heat Meter or Heating Cost Allocator?
It is advantageous to use a calorimeter if the buildings that will pass to the heat sharing system have a common collector system.
If you are warming up with a central heating system that works with the column system rather than the common collector, the preference of the Heating cost allocator will be more appropriate in terms of efficiency and price.
