The Series 380 BTU System from Badger Meter® provides a low cost solution for metering cold or hot systems. The 380DS can accurately measure flow and temperature differential to compute energy. Using BACnet™ or Modbus® RS-485 communications protocols or a scaled pulse output, the BTU System can interface with many existing control systems.
The rugged design incorporates an impeller flow sensor and two temperature probes. One temperature probe is conveniently mounted directly in the flow sensor tee. The second temperature probe is placed on either the supply or the return line depending on installation requirements. These minimal connections help simplify installation and save time.
The main advantage of the Series 380 BTU System is the cost savings over other systems offered on the market today. The integration of flow and temperature sensors, along with metering components provide a single solution for metering. With this system, it will be possible to meter energy where metering had not cost effective.
