7.4 Bifunctional heat/cooling metering
MULTICAL® 403 is available as heat meter (meter type 2), cooling meter (meter type 5) or bifunctional heat/cooling
meter (meter type 3 and 6).
Heat meter (MID modules B+D)
Heat/cooling meter (MID modules B+D & TS+DK268)

If MULTICAL® 403 has been supplied as a heat/cooling meter (meter type 3 and 6), heat energy (E1) is measured at a
positive temperature difference (t1>t2), whereas cooling energy (E3) is measured at a negative temperature
difference (t1<t2). Temperature sensor t1 (with white marking on cable) is mounted in the inlet, whereas t2 is
mounted in the return.
θ
hc
acts as a limit value for the measurement of heat/cooling energy. With θ
hc
enabled, heat energy is only measured
when t1 is greater than or equal to θ
hc
. Likewise, cooling energy is only measured if the inlet temperature t1 is lower
than θ
hc
.
In heat/cooling meters, the limit value θ
hc
should be set to the highest temperature which has appeared in the inlet
in connection with cooling, e.g. 25 °C. If the calculator is to be used for billing, θ
hc
is a legal value and this appears
from the display.
Configuration of the function θ
hc
is only possible in meter type 6. Configuration is possible in the interval 0.01..180.00
°C. In order to disable θ
hc
, this value must be configured to 250,00 °C. In other meter types than meter type 6, θ
hc
is
permanently “OFF” in the configuration. θ
hc
is configured via the ”SETUP loop” or METERTOOL HCW. See paragraph
6.3 and the technical description of METERTOOL HCW (5512-2097) for further information.
Note: There is no hysteresis in connection with shift between heat and cooling energy measurement (Δθ
hc
= 0,00 K).
