Introduction 

The Midor instrument is designed for hydraulic balancing of heating and cooling systems. It allows measuring static 
pressure, differential pressures and flow in the said systems. Using the differential pressure measured by the measuring 
component in the system, Midor calculates the flow that runs through the component (balancing valve or measuring 
orifice). The application corrects the calculated flow also for anti-freeze mixes in cooling systems. The flow can be 
measured in all branches of the whole hydraulic system and the whole system can be balanced. 

 

Midor Instrument Features 

The core of the instrument consists of the pressure measuring unit that measures pressure in balancing components of 
hydronic systems and sends the measured values to the Bluetooth Low Energy (hereinafter just BLE) technology in a 
mobile device with the Android or iOS operating systems. The Midor measuring unit is very robust with a massive 
heavy-duty frame that can withstand a fall from 2 meters. Inside the measuring unit, there is a hydraulic section with a 
built-in symmetrical differential sensor for accurate digital processing of measured data. The Midor measuring 
instrument is very accurate and this accuracy is based on: 

 

Very accurate measuring of the pressure with a fully differential pressure sensor and 24-bit processing of data 
from the pressure sensor 

 

Possibility of resetting the differential pressure for pressure measuring of very low differential pressures. The 
resetting of measuring is done at the hydraulic bypass of pressure inputs. 

The Midor instrument uses advanced digital technologies that compensate inaccuracies usually occurring in pressure 
measuring, such as temperature dependencies and measuring non-linearity. 
Another feature of the Midor instrument consists in recording measurements. Data from measuring can be recorded 
independently and directly in the pressure measuring unit. The measuring unit is equipped with a time circuit that allows 
programming a periodical recording of measurement independently on the application in the mobile device. Once the 
recording is complete, the measuring unit turns off and the record remains stored in the measuring unit until the 
application reads it out. Another method of recording consists in recording of current values directly into the mobile 
device.
