iSense Opti – Real-time network monitoring

iSense Opti enables real-time detection of changing conditions in the underground district energy networks, so that network can be controlled optimally based on accurate, measured data. This measured data also helps in detecting areas with exceptionally high heat loss, as well as areas which are cooled down due to unfavorable flow direction. The measured values are the network pressure, network temperature and vibration.

Accessories: iSense Power – thermoelectric generator

  • Energy is produced locally using the temperature difference between the district heating supply pipe and chamber ambient (required temperature difference min. 25 °C).
  • Only one generator is enough to produce energy for both, supply and return line metering.
  • If the required temperature difference is not reached (eg. seasonal variation), the equipment will temporarily use batteries.
