A thermal energy meter is a device used to measure the amount of thermal energy delivered to a building or estate for district heating purposes. Modern thermal energy meter use ultrasonic technology to accurately measure the volume of hot water flowing through pipes and the temperature difference between the flow and return lines. This allows the device to calculate the amount of heat energy delivered which can then be billed accordingly. Thermal energy meter are most commonly found in apartment buildings, hospitals, schools and other buildings connected to district heating networks.

How Does it Work?

Thermal Heat Meter operate using the principle of calorimetry - the science of measuring the heat of chemical reactions and physical changes. The basic components of a thermal energy meter include an ultrasonic sensor, temperature sensors and a registration unit. The ultrasonic sensor measures the flow velocity of the heated water passing through the meter. Meanwhile, temperature sensors record the inlet and outlet fluid temperatures.

This temperature difference along with the volumetric flow data allows the meter's microprocessor to calculate the heat flow rate and total heat energy delivered over time. Modern "smart" thermal energy meter also contain communication modules that transmit consumption data wirelessly to the utility company for billing and monitoring purposes.
