Ultrasonic Heat Meters are designed to operate over a wide temperature range, covering most indoor and outdoor installation scenarios. Within this temperature range, the electronic components, sensors, and other internal mechanical structures of the heat meter can maintain normal operation, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the measured data. Too high or too low temperatures may cause the performance of electronic components to degrade or be damaged, and Ultrasonic Heat Meters effectively avoid these problems by using high and low temperature resistant materials.
Humidity is one of the key factors affecting the long-term stability of electronic devices. Ultrasonic Heat Meters should be installed in a relatively dry environment to avoid moisture intrusion into the internal circuit, causing short circuits, corrosion, or performance degradation. In places with high humidity, such as bathrooms and basements, special attention should be paid to taking moisture-proof measures, such as installing a dehumidifier or choosing a heat meter model with a moisture-proof design.
Ultrasonic Heat Meters use advanced electronic technology and sensor design to ensure that they can work stably even in electromagnetic interference environments. This includes resisting electromagnetic field interference generated by nearby electrical equipment. The electronic components of the heat meter are carefully selected and laid out to reduce the electromagnetic radiation generated by themselves and enhance resistance to external electromagnetic interference. Therefore, when installed, although direct contact with strong electromagnetic sources should be avoided as much as possible, Ultrasonic Heat Meters can maintain good electromagnetic compatibility in most ordinary residential and commercial buildings.
Heat meters should be installed in a location that is easy to read, maintain and inspect, while avoiding direct sunlight and high-temperature radiation sources to reduce the impact of temperature fluctuations on measurements. The pipeline layout before and after the flow sensor is critical to measurement accuracy. To ensure a stable flow field, it is usually required to have a straight pipe section of at least 10 times the pipe diameter in front of the sensor and a straight pipe section of 5 times the pipe diameter behind it. In addition, when installing, consider leaving enough space for future maintenance and replacement. The heat meter can be installed horizontally or vertically, but in either case, ensure that the two transducers are on the same horizontal plane to avoid measurement errors caused by improper installation angles.
The internal channels of Ultrasonic Heat Meters are small and easily affected by impurities. Therefore, it is recommended to clean and soften the water supply system before installation to reduce the risk of impurities such as scale and particulate matter blocking the flow sensor and heat exchanger. To ensure the long-term stable operation of the heat meter, regular maintenance checks should be performed, including but not limited to cleaning filters, checking sensor performance, replacing batteries (if applicable), etc. Regular maintenance helps to detect and solve problems in a timely manner and extend the service life of the heat meter.
