Why Choose a Clamp On Heat Meter?
Unlike traditional inline meters, a clamp on heat meter installs directly onto the outside of existing pipework. This non intrusive approach brings several major advantages to commercial and industrial sites:
- Zero System Downtime: Install the meter without draining down systems or halting production.
- Perfect for Retrofits: Easily add thermal energy monitoring to older buildings and plant rooms.
- Cost Effective for Large Pipes: The cost of an inline meter increases drastically with pipe size, whereas clamp on sensors remain highly economical regardless of the pipe diameter.
- BMS Ready: Seamlessly integrate with your existing networks using Modbus, M Bus, or Pulse outputs.
Energy Management vs Fiscal Billing
It is important to select the right meter for your application. Clamp on heat meters, like our Ultraflo U1000 range, are engineered to comply with EN1434 calculation standards. They are the ultimate tool for internal cost allocation, energy efficiency surveys, and carbon footprint reduction.
However, if you require a meter for charging tenants money or claiming government Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payments, you will need a fiscal billing device. In those specific cases, please view our MID Class 2 inline heat meters instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a clamp on heat meter work?
It uses ultrasonic transit time technology. Two sensors clamp onto the outside of the pipe to measure the flow rate of the liquid. Simultaneously, PT100 temperature sensors measure the supply and return temperatures. The meter then calculates the thermal energy used based on these combined readings.
Can I install a clamp on heat meter on any pipe material?
Yes, these meters work on most common industrial pipe materials, including steel, copper, plastic, and stainless steel. The setup menu allows you to easily select the pipe material and fluid type to ensure accurate ultrasonic readings.
Do I need to drain the system to install the meter?
No, the primary benefit of a clamp on thermal energy meter is that it requires absolutely no pipe cutting or system drainage. You can install and commission the unit while the heating or cooling system is fully operational.
