If you want to install in an apartment or private home of an individual device for accounting of thermal energy, it is possible to face an important problem — what counter is better to choose: ultrasonic or mechanical. To make the right choice, you need to understand the features of these devices, their principle and their fundamental differences.
Structural features thermal mechanical and ultrasonic type
What is the heat meter will be more convenient and efficient for your living space it is important to establish before you purchased the device itself. The fact that there are many nuances in the installation of different models of counters, and each type has its own requirements for installation.
Studying the field of work, consider the following factors:
- features of the heating system;
- the specifics of the room where will be installed a metering device;
- design features of the radiator;
- method of measuring heat consumption, specific types of meters.
Consider and compare the principle of operation of mechanical and ultrasonic heat metering devices
Mechanical counters are distinguished by the presence of such a structural element of the impeller. She works on this principle: the flow of the heat carrier — water or steam — performs reciprocating motion inside the mechanism, and the rotation of the impeller creates a rotational moment and indicates the number of received heat in the room. The devices are of mechanical type with magnetic coupling, which delivers the coolant forward, causing thereby the movement of the arrow, which converts the data into digital indicators. The large diameter structure may contain additional rotating turbine.
Ultrasonic meters consist of a flow meter, transmitting an ultrasonic pulse by the device and the computer. Ultrasonic waves by means of the sensor are driven by the difference in indicators at the initial point of fluid motion and end is the basis of computation speed and the amount passing through the coolant system.
Comparing these two instruments, we can draw the following conclusions:
- mechanical design of the advantages include ease of operation and maintenance as well as inexpensive price, they are not required electropedia, which makes these instruments versatile. Such devices can work in different environments, but are very dependent on the purity of the coolant at pollution gives inaccurate readings;
- ultrasonic devices are more accurate in measurements and cover a wide range of data, minimising hydraulic resistance, does not require too clean coolant, but they need electric power source.
Summing up, it can be noted that the mechanical model is good in systems which are operated not very active, and when more intensive consumption is better to use a turbine or an ultrasound.
Where to get any heat?
On the Ukrainian market offers a huge number of models on account of heat different types. Internet website of the company "Zimmerstec" you will find a rich collection of heat meters at different tastes and budgets. The right choice will help you to make qualified, you only need to tell us about the type of radiator and the characteristics of the room.
