Electronic (Turbine) Heat Meters

Their core component is a freely rotating rotor with blades. The rotor rotates due to the flow of fluid, with the rotations being proportional to the speed of the fluid flow. The rotations are typically detected by a contactless inductive sensor, with the output being voltage pulses that are further processed and evaluated.

Advantages: low investment costs, wide flow measurement range, reproducibility of measurement and short-term accuracy

Disadvantages: higher pressure losses, necessary disassembly during system flushing
