3.10 Liquid Combustion 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 combustion heat are calculated using the fluid characteristics
stored in the flow computer. (see "FLUID DATA" submenu)
Output Results:
• Display Results
Combustion 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
