16 HEAT FLOW
16.1 Overview
The purpose of Heat Flow Metering is to measure the amount of steam or hot water being produced and to
check the amount of heat this is delivering. The majority of steam plants require Heat Flow Metering to check
how much steam is being generated and used and at what cost, so the overall plant efficiency can be
determined.
Steam or hot water flow meters are very expensive to procure and complex to install, however, Autoflame
Mk8 MM offers a simple, accurate and cost-effective steam/hot water flow metering solution integrated into
the MM.
Autoflame has been granted a worldwide patent on the Heat Flow Metering function on the Mk8 MM.
Note: Fuel flow metering is required for steam/hot water flow metering.
