For the energy measurement, the media types "saturated
steam", "superheated steam" or "hot water“ can be selected.
The calculation is done according to IAPWS-IF97.

Prerequisites for the energy measurement:
— For energy measurement of steam, this must condense
completely.
— The process must form a closed system, energy losses
through leaks are not recorded.
Steam mass calculation
The following options are available for the steam mass
calculation:
— Density calculated from the temperature (saturated steam
only)
— Density calculated from the pressure (saturated steam
only)
— Density calculated from pressure and temperature
— Constant density
If a pressure transmitter is connected, the steam state is
checked automatically. A distinction is made between wet
steam, saturated steam, and superheated steam. The correct
density is always calculated regardless of the selected media
type.
If a pressure transmitter is not connected and steam type
"Overheated Steam" is selected, a constant pressure must be
entered for the state to be detected and, if applicable, the
density to be calculated.
A value must always be stored for the steam density value
(constant) in the transmitter in order to define the measuring
range limits for Q
max
DN in mass flow units.
An approximation is sufficient here, the density diagrams
provide an indication for determining the steam density.
