6.1 Energy calculation
MULTICAL

801 calculates energy based on the formula stated in EN 1434-1:2007, which uses the international
temperature scale issued in 1990 (ITS-90) and the pressure definition of 16 bar.
In a simplified form, the energy calculation can be expressed as Energy = V x ∆Θ x k.
The calculator always calculates energy in [Wh], and then converts the value to the selected measuring unit.

V is the added (or simulated) water volume in m

. If e.g. the CCC-code = 119 is used, the calculator has been
programmed to receive 100 imp./litre. If for instance 10,000 pulses are added, this corresponds to
10,000/100 = 100 litres or 0.1 m

.
∆Θ
is he measured temperature difference, e.g. ∆Θ = inlet temperature – outlet temperature. Please note that
different temperatures are used for the calculation of ∆Θ as MULTICAL

801 can calculate various different
energy types. Both in the display and during data reading each energy type is uniquely defined, e.g.
Heat energy: E1 = V1(T1-T2)k
Cooling energy: E3 = V1 (T2-T1)k
k is the heat coefficient of water which is calculated on the basis of the formula stated in EN 1434-1:2007
(identical with the energy formula of OIML R75-1:2002). For checking the measurement, Kamstrup can
supply an energy calculator:
