Description of the device 

 

The  CALOR  38  heat  meter  is  based  on  measurement  principle  by  a  well-known  Faraday's 

electromagnetic induction law according to which an electric voltage is induced during the flow of a 

conductive liquid through the flow meter magnetic field. This is sensed by two electrodes which have 

direct contact with the measured medium and evaluated in the electronic unit, taking into account the 

temperature difference of the paired resistance temperature sensors on the supply and return pipes.  

 

CALOR  38  induction  meters  are  suitable  exclusively  for  measurement  of  volumetric  flow  of 

electrically  conductive  liquid  substances  with  a  minimum  conductivity  of  20

S/cm  (at  a  lower 

conductivity, in agreement with the manufacturer).

 

 

Meters are designed for measurements where the velocity of liquid is in the range of 0.01 ÷ 12 m/s. 

The best measurement accuracy can be obtained in the range of  1 ÷ 10 m/s.  

 

 

Scope of delivery 

 

The accessories vary according to flow sensor versions and above standard optional features.  

 

Threaded construction

 

Electronic evaluation unit with the fixing bracket for wall mounting (not for the compact construction), 

the  flow  sensor  (in  case  of  the  compact  construction,  the  electronic  unit  is  an  integral  part  of  the 

temperature sensor), paired resistance temperature sensors, connecting grounding cable, installation 

manual.

 

 

Flanged construction

 

Electronic evaluation unit with the fixing adapter for wall mounting ( not for the compact construction), 

flow sensor (in case of the compact construction, the electronic unit is an integral part of flow sensor), 

paired resistance temperature sensors, connecting grounding cable, installation manual. 

 

In case of the separated  construction, a special  cable for  connection of  the meter (it must not be 

extended or cut short) is part of the flow sensor.   

Storage conditions 

 

The temperature during shipment and for storage must be within the range of -10 °C up to 50 °C. 

Wooden boards installed on the flanges in the factory are used for protection of lining on the flanges 

during  storage  and  transportation  (for  PTFE  lining).  Remove  these  protective  boards  just  before 

installing in the pipeline!!!  

Do  not  lift  the  flanged  meters  by  the  transducer  head  or  by  the  connecting  box  of  the  separated 

construction  during  transportation!  Use  slings  and  place  them  round  both  process  connections  for 

transportation of meters up to DN150 (chains may damage the meter head)! Use only the holes between 

the flange and sensor body for transportation, lifting and installation of the sensor in piping for DN200 

and bigger!!!
