Application
SKS-4 is an universal thermal energy calculator,
which meets the requirements of EN 1434 and
OIML R75.
It can be used for calculating the amount of
consumed thermal energy in open and closed
heat supply systems, where heating agent is
water with temperatures up to 180 OC, and flow
is up to 18 200 m3/h, or in cooling systems using
water or water-glycol solution as the coolant.

The calculator is modular in design, and can be fitted with optional modules
depending on the application.
