John Siegenthaler, P.E., kicks off Caleffi's 2019 webinar series to elaborate on the benefits of heat metering, including concepts and illustrations of practical applications. The next extended edition of Coffee with Caleffi takes place on Thursday, Feb. 21 from 12–1:30 p.m. CST. Attendees will learn the following:

• Does antifreeze fluid passing through a heat meter affect its ability to accurately measure heat flow?
• Can the same heat meter be used to measure heating energy and cooling energy delivery?
• What’s the best way to change the length of a temperature sensor cable on a heat meter?
• How many conductors are necessary to connect multiple CONTECA heat meters together?

Heat metering has practical applications including apportioning energy costs to multiple customers served by a central system based on individual consumption. Another common application is verifying if a heating (or cooling) source is producing its expected thermal output. With the recently defined ASTM E3137 Standard Specification for Heat Meter Instrumentation, the stage has been set for the standard to appear in specifications and job requirements in North America.

A seasoned industry leader and passionate teacher, Siegenthaler shares over 35 years’ experience in the understanding and proper application of water-based engineering principles. He is the principal of Appropriate Designs and a regular contributor to industry publications.
