Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring gas consumption by means of a gas meter (1). A gas meter (1) comprising a thermal flow sensor (1a) for determining mass flow signals (SM) and a calibrating device used as an energy measuring appliance for emitting energy value signals (SE) is known. According to the invention, a gas type is determined by the gas meter (1) insofar as combustible and non-combustible gas mixtures (3) are differentiated. For a non-combustible gas mixture (3), the gas meter (1) is operated with calibration in mass units or units of volume under standard conditions (1/min), and for a combustible gas mixture (3), with calibration in energy units (kWh). Forms of embodiment include, inter alia, the measurement of a parameter (lambda, alpha, c, eta) of the gas (3) in order to determine the gas type; a gas quality sensor (1a) with the same structure as the thermal flow sensor (1a); and longer measuring intervals for a non-combustible gas (3) and shorter measuring intervals for a combustible gas (3). The advantages of the invention are, inter alia, reliable energy measurement as a result of the automatic differentiation between a non-accountable gas (3) and a high-quality useful gas (3); recognition of manipulation attempts; and automatic calorific value tracking even without calorific value measurement.

Abstract: Method for measuring gas consumption using a gas meter, especially for measuring gas energy consumption, whereby the meter is suitable for measuring both a gas mass flow and energy consumption in that the meter determines the gas type and if it is incombustible calculates a mass flow in weight or volume units, liters per minute (l/min), while if it is combustible calculates consumption in energy units, kWh. An independent claim is made for a gas meter that functions as both a mass flowmeter and an energy meter, having a gas quality sensor with means for determining a gas parameter that is indicative of whether the gas is combustible or not. To determine the gas type its heat conductivity, heat capacity, diffusivity or viscosity are calculated, from which the gas mixture can be determined.

Abstract: The method involves passing the flow over a sensor element (1) with a heating arrangement (1a) for altering the temperature and a sensor element (1b) for determining its temperature. The heating arrangement is operated at least occasionally with a heating power in the form of heating pulses and a flow-dependent threshold time is measured until a defined temperature threshold is reached. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: an arrangement for implementing the inventive method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring gas consumption by means of a gas meter (1). A gas meter (1) comprising a thermal flow senso r (1a) for determining mass flow signals (SM) and a calibrating device used as an energy measuring appliance for emitting energy value signals (SE) is know n. According to the invention, a gas type is determined by the gas meter (1) insofar as combustible and non-combustible gas mixtures (3) are differentiated. For a non-combustible gas mixture (3), the gas meter (1) is operated with calibration in mass units or units of volume under standard conditions (1/min), and for a combustible gas mixture (3), with calibration in energy units (kWh). Forms of embodiment include, inter alia, the measurement of a parameter (.lambda., .alpha., c, .eta.) of the gas (3) in order to determine the gas type; a gas quality sensor (1a) with the same structure as the thermal flow sensor (1a); and longer measuring intervals for a non- combustible gas (3) and shorter measuring intervals for a combustible gas (3 ). The advantages of the invention are, inter alia, reliable energy measurement as a result of the automatic differentiation between a non-accountable gas ( 3) and a high-quality useful gas (3); recognition of manipulation attempts; and automatic calorific value tracking even without calorific value measurement.
