At large institutional facilities and educational campuses, particularly those located in colder climates, steam flow measurement is a critical challenge. Facility operators want to accurately track steam usage as part of a wider effort to improve distributed/district heating resource management and energy conservation. However, traditional steam metering technologies have numerous performance drawbacks.
Rising costs and green energy initiatives are driving facility engineers to seek new solutions for accurately measuring steam consumption within HVAC systems. In particular, advancements in differential pressure (DP) flow meter technology make it possible to achieve significant improvements in energy management programs.
