3.11 Liquid Sensible Heat
Measurements:
Actual volume flow is measured by the flow element (DP transmitter, Flowmeter).
Temperature is measured by the temperature transmitter. A pressure transmitter can be
used to monitor pressure. Pressure measurement does not affect the calculation.
Calculations:
• The density, mass flow and sensible heat are calculated using the fluid characteristics
stored in the flow computer. (see "FLUID DATA" submenu)
Output Results:
• Display Results
Sensible Heat, Mass or Volume Flow Rate, Resettable Total, Non-Resettable
Total, Temperature, Pressure, Density (optional: peak demand, demand last
hour, time/date stamp)
• Analog Output
Sensible Heat, Mass or Volume Flow Rate, Temperature, Pressure, Density,
Peak Demand, Demand Last Hour
• Pulse Output
Sensible Heat, Mass or Volume Total
• Relay Outputs
Sensible Heat, Mass or Volume Flow Rate, Total, Temperature, Pressure Alarms,
Peak Demand, Demand Last Hour
Applications:
Calculate the energy stored in a condensate with respect to water at 32°F (0°C).
