Air energy meter – initial practical experience at a brickyard
At brickworks, the medium “process air” transports large amounts of energy. Only in rare cases, however, are the airflow volumes and energy quantities continuously monitored. With a “Luftmeister” air energy meter, though, volume flow and heat rate can be quantified even in sophisticated process-air applications. The device also calculates the amount of energy passing through the air duct at any given time. Taking as an example the fully functional prototype installed at the Röben plant in Bannberscheid, this report elucidates the technology and recounts some initial field experience.
