Cadillac® Energy CU-E Meter – Applications

The Cadillac® Energy CU-E Meter is the meter of choice for energy applications. This meter can be applied effectively for the following purposes:

• Energy consumption data source for energy management system, DCS, district-wide systems.
• Basis for internal cost estimation using campus-wide systems.
• Efficiency measuring and monitoring from central control rooms.
• Direct Energy / BTU measurements at both Boiler and point of use locations.

Cadillac® Energy CU-E Meter – Features

The Cadillac® Energy CU-E Meter is the meter of choice for energy applications. This meter contains the following features:

• Heating Mode: Where Positive ΔT’s only are totalized.
• Cooling Mode: Where Negative ΔT’s only are totalized.

Cadillac® Energy CU-E Meter — Operation Principles

The Cadillac® CU-E BTU / Energy Meter measures the temperature in the feed and return lines via two RTD sensors/transmitters and from this calculates the density and enthalpy of the water. In addition, by also measuring the volume of water flowing in the system via the Cadillac® flow meter, the CU-E will then compute, display, and output the Energy consumed.

Power is Calculated:

• P = V x p x (htv-htr)

Where:

• P = Power (watts)
• V = Volumetric flow Rate
• p = Density
• htv = Specific enthalpy at Feed temperature
• htr = Specific enthalpy at Return temperature

Cadillac® Energy CU-E Meter – Installation

The Cadillac® CU-E BTU / Energy Meter installation instructions are outlinde in the diagram below. By implementing the CU-T Ultrasonic flow metering capability and strap-on temperature sensors/transmitters as part of the CU-E Energy System, the user eliminates the need to bring the system down for installation. With a completely non-intrusive system it allows quick and easy retrofit into an online system. With a 100:1 turn down and +/- 2.0% of the rate accuracy the CU-T flow meter provides a cost effective means to provides a flow measurement, while providing a maintenance free non-mechanical flow technology.With no moving parts or flow line obstruction the CU-T has no mechanical drift, which require re-calibration, and does no cause system head loss creating an unwanted heat source (for chilled water systems), as do all other mechanical and differential pressure flow technologies typically used.The CU-E Energy system provides a quick, easy to install, cost effective way to measure energy consumption with reasonable accuracy for the end user.
