6.8.2 Gross heat measurement
In order to calculate gross power the mass flow (compensated by density) is multiplied by the
specific enthalpy:
Gross power [Q
H
] = mass flow [Q
m
] x enthalpy [H]
When measuring gross heat, internally both the flow totalizer and the energy totalizer are used.
The following configuration example describes an easy way to program all necessary settings.
For this example is assumed that the internal temperature and pressure sensor are used for the
gross heat calculation of superheated steam.
Function
Parameters
C6.3 Extras
Activate one of the meter type options "Heat" (for saturated steam and
temperature compensation) or "Heat & Dens. by Pres." (for superheated
steam and density compensation by temperature and pressure) by entering
the proper four digit code (if not activated by order). This needs to be done
once.
