AERIUS G4 gas meter: gas consumption measurement using microthermal flow sensors

Now that electronic measuring techniques are established practice in heat, water and electricity measurement, static measuring techniques without moving mechanical parts - and thus wear-free - will also become increasingly important in detecting gas consumption in the future. This is supported by essentially two reasons. First the use of electronic measuring methods permits accurate detection of consumption and second the integration of the system into a network for automatic consumption detection (catchword Smart Metering) is desirable. Diehl Gas Metering GmbH concentrates gas expertise in the Diehl Metering division and is developing a static gas meter based on a microthermal measuring principle. This microthermal measuring method enables direct detection of standard volume, i.e. air pressure, altitude zones and temperature differences do not influence the measuring accuracy. This permits simple and transparent billing for the benefit of utilities and consumers. The list of advantages is rounded off by compact housing dimensions, no disturbing noise during operation and electronic transmission of consumption values including key operating states, such as high operating temperatures, which could indicate a fire.
