Measure your heat consumption accurately with modern heat meters
Heat meters make it possible to measure heat consumption or heat output. They can be used for various applications, in the areas of heating or solar technology for example. Heat meters are also frequently used in rented properties so that the exact heat consumption of the individual residential units can be determined and recorded. Various designs of heat meters are available for these purposes.
Modern compact heat meters allow precise recording of the quantities of heat used and do not take up much space. The compact heat meters with digital display are also flexible when it comes to installation location. The meter measures the volume flow of the medium and the temperature of the infeed and return, as part of a heating system for example. The device calculates the heat output from this. Installation of a compact heat meter requires an appropriate connection fitting with a sensor connection. Until the system is commissioned, the meter can be replaced by an adapter, which can be replaced easily on completion of the installation work. An initial installation kit includes all of the parts required, such as a ball valve with connection for the sensor, two return ball valves for fitting of the heat meter, seals and the adapter required. The practical capsule replacement heat exchangers can be used in conjunction with a matching single pipe connecting piece. The meters are available in various designs and are suitable, for example, for recording heat consumption in homes. A capsule replacement heat meter can be replaced easily with a new meter, for example at the end of the calibration period. Depending on the type and manufacturer, fitting to connections made by other companies is also possible. This is advantageous, in particular, when existing meters have to be replaced with new, modern models of capsule heat meters. Split heat meters consist of several components that are connected to one another. They include the volume measurement unit, the arithmetic unit and the temperature sensor. The volume measurement unit measures the volume of the medium flowing through and is available in various designs for risers, downpipes or horizontal installation. While the volume flow unit can be installed in the return of the heating system for example, the temperature sensors must be fitted at appropriate points in the feed and return flow pipes. The arithmetic unit calculates the amount of energy used and can be fitted separately from the volume unit if necessary in the specific installation situation. The compact, versatile F90-U3 heat meters are available in various designs for different installation situations. Installation can be either horizontal or vertical. All variants of the F90-3 heat meter have a removable arithmetic unit which can be positioned conveniently using the wall bracket. The integrated display provides access to various types of information and an optical interface is already integrated into the device. The battery of the F90-3 heat meter can be replaced separately or an appropriate power supply unit can be connected on site. There is a wide range of accessories available for F90-3 heat meters. Bus and pulse modules adapted to the meters allow output of the measurement data or communication by M-bus. The right replacement battery for F90-3 meters has the plug contact required and is supplied with a new seal. Alternatively a power supply module is available for F90-3 meters.
