Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)

Integrating metering components with flow and temperature sensors allows building and facility managers to measure energy costs for hydronic chilled and hot water applications. Meters accurately measure flow and aid in energy cost allocation/sub-metering, energy distribution, system monitoring and operating efficiency calculations.

Hydronic Systems

Hydronic Systems

Hydronic systems are rigorous and have strict flow measurement requirements that commercial and industrial facilities must meet. Flow meters measure the energy within a closed energy loop where a source receives the liquid, heats or cools it and then supplies it to a load that needs heating or cooling.

Installing an efficient hydronic system is a critical step, but flow instrumentation meters are essential to maintain long-term accuracy, reliability and repeatability within chiller, chilled water system, thermal energy tank system, boiler, cooling tower, pump and other asset operations.

Hydronic Systems

Cooling Tower Blowdown

Provide accurate flow information to maintain proper design flow throughout the cooling tower and provide adequate system cooling.

Chilled Water (Cooling)

Convert flow rate and supply—and convert temperature into British thermal unit (BTU) or tonnage (TONN) usage—to show operators when a chiller load reaches 40% or lower, indicating it is time to stage down a chiller. When a load reaches 80% or higher, it is time to turn on another chiller to reduce system load.

Glycol/Hot Water (Heating)

Measure the energy consumed within the heating liquid solution and hot water usage for billing purposes.

Make-up Water

Determine the volume of water consumption and detect leaks in the automatic cold-water make-up assembly by taking accurate low-flow measurements.

Condenser Water

Measure flow rate and temperature to maintain peak performance in condenser water systems.

Condensate Boiler Feed/Return

Ensure good quality boiler supply water and remove low-quality boiler water by measuring boiler feed/blowdown and condensate return flow on a volumetric basis.

Cost Allocation/Sub-Metering

Monitor and measure water and/or energy to improve inefficiencies and address cost allocation/sub-metering needs.
