When it comes to measuring thermal energy consumption, industry professionals are saddled with questions like What is a BTU meter or How do I calculate BTU or What is BTU consumption?
BTU meter measures the thermal energy content of liquid flow in British Thermal Units (BTU) or in Kilo Calories (Kcal)., even sometimes in Kw. But this Kw has nothing to do with electrical KW.
Manas is a leading Indian manufacturer of BTU meters who can provide a solution for calculating the BTU or measuring the BTU consumption with their BTU meters with communication support like, BACnet, MODBUS with LAN Port.
A BTU meter (also called a Heat Meter) comprises a combination of a flow meter with temperature sensors that measure energy consumption in any liquid heating or cooling system. These are also called Energy Meters and are used to bill the end-user for his/her air conditioning energy usage. A BTU meter can also be used to measure the performance of energy-saving equipment, loss of efficiency within a heating or cooling system which means revenue loss. They are also required in heat recovery systems to find out the quantum of recovered heat.
Features
Choice of flowmeters: You can go for Electromagnetic or Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Both Instantaneous and Totalised flow values are available
Users can define the units for heat measurement
High-grade Temperature Sensors are used for accurate differential temperature measurement
Flow units can be selected by the user
Memory storage is built in to protect the data during power failures
BACnet IP/MODBUS, TCP/IP/RS485 for remote connectivity.
All flow meters are highly accurate as they are factory calibrated.
Applications
BTU meters are used in chilled water systems for commercial, industrial, and office buildings. These meters are used to bill users for air conditioning energy usage.
Cooling effectiveness measurement in water-based systems
Useful for identifying leakages in hot or cold-water systems
Useful for Dredging industries
Residential apartments for tenant billing
Energy measurement in open heating/cooling systems
Useful in heat recovery systems.

1. Description
BTU 100 L is a versatile compact energy
totalizer extremely useful for energy conversion.
It measures the thermal energy required for air conditioning.
It accepts a ow meter for chilled water, inlet temperature sensor
and the outlet temperature sensor. From this it calculates the
thermal power and energy consumed in maintaining the
temperature at given level. 9 digits are available for total energy
and four digits are available for instantaneous power reading. The
engg. Unit can be selected by user, either as KW and KWH or
MBTU / Hr and BTU.
