Siemens Industry Automation Division introduces the Sitrans FUE950 thermal energy calculator, designed for use in hot water, chilled water, and combined cooling/heating applications.
The FUE950 has a modular construction, allowing it to be fitted with optional output modules, including pulse output, pulse input, and current output. Users can also opt for a temperature sensor pair and thermowells.
The new model features a 3.6V Lithium D-cell type battery with a lifespan of up to 16 years. The unit offers instantaneous values for energy and volume flow and can be integrated for use with other Sitrans products, including the FUS380, FUE380, F M MAG 5000, F M MAG 6000, F M MAG 8000, FST020, and FUS1010. +
