Meter
We developed the concept of measuring the amount of energy
exchanged from/to the ground by comparing the entering and exiting water temperatures of the fluid within
the closed loop and multiplying this temperature differential by the fluid's
flow rate at certain points throughout the EHX system. This metering system utilizes
tried-and-true heat meter components custom designed by ABB for EnLink. Similar
components have been used for many years in Europe to accurately measure energy
transfer in "district heating" applications.
Metering energy flow to/from the ground and electricity consumption associated
with the GHP system allows EnLink to monitor, optimize and quantify EHX system
performance. Furthermore, our metering technology enables EnLink to accurately
calculate the NOx, SOx, and CO2 emissions avoided via implementation
of a GHP system. Increasingly, this benefit can be monetized through a variety
of government-sponsored incentive and credit programs. The EnLink Energy Metering System can also be used as a basis for generating monthly or periodic invoices for thermal energy consumption.
