nergy calculation - Energy gain is calculated by obtaining the temperature increase of
heat transfer fluid across the solar collector. The amount of fluid flow through the
collector is registered by an in-line flow meter. USDT 2004 computes the energy production as a
function of the temperature differential and fluid volume. In addition, the system anti-freeze
(Glycol) percentage should be entered as it affects the thermal conductivity and heat transfer
rate.
BTU
Energy calculation mode
S IN
Sensor port selection for inlet temperature (1, 2, 3, --)
S OUT
outlet temperature (1, 2, 3, --)
F SEN
Sensor port selection for flow rate (1, 2, 3, --)
Energy calculation will be initiated only after temperature sensor ports are designated. Flow rate
can be either a constant number to be entered by user, or from a flow meter input. To activate the
energy calculation without using the flow meter's impulse input, a dash (-) must be selected for F
SEN channel followed by the constant flow rate in gph (gallon per hour) unit.
LLP
Flow meter rate impulse number in liter per pulse, if flow meter is used
GAL
Constant flow rate in gph instead of flow meter reading in (--) sensor mode
GLYCOL
Anti-freeze percentage
CLEAR
Sets the BTU meter's counter to zero
DIF
Sensor calibration
The output of USDT 2004 unit is kW for system power and kWh or MWh for collected energy.
The energy calculation dependents on flow meter accuracy, the temperature sensors class, and
their locations. The flow meter is a mechanical device and its accuracy fluctuates over time.
Therefore, the user should calibrate the flow meter and incorporate temperature sensor tolerance.
The supplied Thermistor sensor has an accuracy of ± 2
o
F. DIF represents the temperature
difference between two sensors. User can increase the accuracy of reading by adjusting the DIF
parameter. The energy calculation becomes accurate at temperature range that this reading
adjustment is made.
