A thermal energy meter using a microcomputer

Abstract

The drive towards rationalization of energy consumption has led to a more frequent use of thermal energy meters in distribution systems using piped fluids. In this line a measuring system, which operates on the basis of the fluid flowrate and temperature signals, has been realized. The system determines the energy measurement by means of a programmable processing unit. The most salient special features of this part of equipment are illustrated, as well as the performance capability obtainable.
