What are the differences between ordinary water meter and intelligent water meter?

Feb 08, 2022

With the deepening of the concept of "smart city", what are the main aspects of making the equipment truly intelligent and digital?


1. With the reduction of labor cost, the intelligent water meter no longer relies on manual reading. It can realize multi-function such as real-time data viewing, online collection of monthly expenses, repair application and so on.


2. The enhancement of metering performance is equivalent to the improvement of metering accuracy and the expansion of metering range, so as to effectively improve the measurement characteristics of small flow.


Most of the water meters used by the current water department and water supply are ordinary mechanical, with corresponding electronic devices. For this, there are the same metering defects, showing a large pressure loss. In addition, the corresponding nonlinear characteristics of the instrument increase the difficulty of correction, and the width lacks high measurement accuracy in the low flow area. Therefore, advanced flow sensing technology, such as ultrasonic, jet and electromagnetic wave, must be adopted.


3. Extended service life of water meter

Intelligent water meters will enhance the reliability of products in the future development trend. At present, IC card meters and wireless remote water meters widely used in urban water construction and water supply management are troubled by battery problems. Battery life has a great impact on signal and accuracy, and leads to reduced reliability. Therefore, we must effectively overcome the problems existing in battery capacity and battery volume, urgently develop new power supplies, and adopt advanced technologies such as low-power design and fast charging.
