HOT WATER METER AND MEASURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

There is provided a hot water meter installed in each individual household in a central hot water system which produces warm water by heating raw water with a heat exchanger and supplies the warm water to the each individual household, the hot water meter including a raw water temperature receiving unit that receives a measurement value of a temperature of the raw water from a raw water temperature measuring unit, a raw water temperature estimating unit that stores a record of the temperature of the raw water or timed raw water temperature data and estimates the temperature of the raw water by using the record of the temperature of the raw water or the timed raw water temperature data, a hot water flow rate measuring unit that measures a flow rate of the hot water flowing through the hot water meter, a hot water temperature measuring unit that measures a temperature of the hot water, and a hot water heating value calculating unit that calculates a heating value of the hot water by multiplying a difference value between the temperature of the hot water and the temperature of the raw water by the flow rate of the hot water.
