LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ:ITRI) announced today that it has expanded its
thermal energy metering portfolio into a new industry segment with its
new static flow meter for thermal energy commercial and industrial (C&I)
applications. The ITRON AXONICâ„¢ meter is a cutting-edge static
ultrasonic flow meter designed to meet the needs of district heating and
cooling applications with self-diagnostic intelligence and advanced
features and functionality. The meter will be marketed globally.
In combination with a connected Itron thermal energy calculator, the
ultrasonic static flow meter features intelligent diagnostic functions
to control and optimize the entire thermal energy system. The meter
continually monitors operating conditions and, in the case of abnormal
conditions such as back-flow or air in the pipe, sends a warning to the
utility by SMS or e-mail using Itron's mobile or fixed network solutions.
The Itron Axonic meter features the highest temperature and pressure
ratings available and helps protect the revenue of district heating and
cooling companies with exceptional performance, including highly
accurate measurement and long-term reliability. Featuring two output
ports, the meter also provides the option to add a second device, such
as a heat control system or backflow monitor.
The meter is easy to install thanks to an innovative mobile flange
design and the ability to be installed in any position. In addition, the
meter is designed with specific insulation characteristics to avoid
unnecessary energy losses.
"With Itron's proven understanding and experience delivering static
metering technology, we developed this latest generation technology for
C&I heating and cooling applications, providing utilities with the most
intelligence and easiest overall handling available," said Harald
Joellenbeck, vice president of sales, marketing and delivery for heat
solutions at Itron. "The Itron Axonic meter provides best-in-class
thermal energy metering to help utilities better manage their systems
and protect revenue."
