LEED, ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 189.1 and government energy efficiency objectives have created an environment where very important strategic and monetary decisions are being made from energy and flow measurement. Therefore, accuracy and reliability of energy and flow measurement has become very important also.
Wear and fouling can shorten the life and reduce the accuracy of meter elements in the flow stream. Current state of the science ultrasonic flow and energy meter technology can remove these accuracy and maintenance issues.
In this one hour or 45 minute presentation, we will discuss:
• How ASHRAE is giving credence to the importance of flow meters and the implications of Standard 189.1
• The typical meters now used in our industry
• The state of the science of ultrasonic flow measurement technology in our industry applications
Seminar Outline:
I. ASHRAE Guideline 13-2007 and Implications of ASHRAE Standard 189.1
II. Typical Flow Meter Types for HVAC Applications
III. Ultrasonic Principles of Operation: Transit Time vs. Doppler
IV. Typical Installation & Calibration Considerations
V. Thermal BTU Energy Meter Considerations
