Flow and Heat Metering Solutions
A well known University requires a monitoring sytem to be designed, installed and calibrated.
The AquaTrans AT868 Panametrics Liquid Flow Ultrasonic Transmitter and the Kampstrup Multical Ultrasonic Heat Meter.
The University in question, heats its campus site via standard boiler house facilities,producing thermal heat / energy for distribution across the campus site. In line with new energy monitoring legislative initiatives (e.g EU Directives 2002/91/EC, etc) the university required a monitoring system to be initially designed, installed and calibrated to provide accurate, up to date information, to examine energy / heat utilization across the universities individual departments.

On a prelimenary appraisal from RS Hydro it was recommended that in regard to flow metering a Panametrics AquaTrans AT868 Clamp on ultrasonic flow meter be installed in collaboration with the Kamstrup Multical 401 Ultrasonic heat meter be used to achieve the desired flow and heat metering requirements.
