BTUMETERS, WATER FLOW METERS, THERMAL MASS FLOW METERS & STEAM METERS
To ensure the highest return on investment, a comprehensive metering programs essential for managing today’s complex central energy plants:
Accurate flow and energy measurement provides
- Improved chiller plant control
- Real time commissioning and balancing data
- Continuous monitoring of chiller performance (KW/Ton)
Types of ONICON Flow Meters:
- Insertion turbine flow meters (Dual or single turbine)
- Insertion electromagnetic flow meters
- Inline electromagnetic meter
- Inline ultrasonic flow meter
- Clamp on ultrasonic flow meters
- Inline vortex mass flow meter for saturated steam
- Thermal mass flow meters for natural gas
ONICON’s flow meters have become the recognized standard for accurate, reliable flow measurement at a reasonable cost.
Onicon has following energy measurement meters (BTU Meters)
- Inline electromagnetic BTU meters
- System 10/20 BTU meters for higher flow rates
- Clamp on ultrasonic BTU meters
- Inline ultrasonic BTU meters
Onicon’s BTU meters utilize a calibrated system approach to provide highly accurate flow, temperature and energy data. Further more with a serial network communication option,this system can actually be less expensive than traditional energy calculation methods.
BTU meters configured with serial network communications offer simplified wiring and greatly reduced installation cost compared to traditional analogue/ pulse type outputs. The data provided(with a single 2-3 wire LAN connection) includes: energy total, energy rate, flow total, flow rate, supply temperature, and return temperature, delta temperature.
The flow, temperature and energy information provided is useful for
- Overall system performance verification during commissioning
- Establishing baseline standards for system performance
- Determining current system capacity vs future needs for growth planning
- Monitoring the success of new and ongoing conservation efforts
- Cost allocation for individual buildings and departments
- Control applications such as chiller and boiler staging
- Monitoring individual chiller and boiler efficiency
- Hydronic system troubleshooting and optimization
