Application
Commercial buildings are metered at two levels: the landlord meter at the inlet and the tenant meters inside. The gap between the two is what property managers have to explain every month. Chenshuo supplies DN15-DN40 ultrasonic meters for tenant positions and DN50-DN200 dual-channel ultrasonic bulk meters for building inlets and large complexes.
Typical sizes: DN40-DN200
The same meter is bought for different reasons depending on who is signing. These are the four roles that come up most often on this type of project.
Tenant billing that tenants will accept, and an explanation for the gap between the inlet meter and the sum of the tenant meters.
Fitting out tenant units before handover, with one meter spec across the whole fit-out.
Zone-level consumption control, so a rising bill can be traced to a floor or a wing rather than argued about.
A meter that drops into the building services package with the right output for the billing or BMS system.
Four things that most often settle whether a project goes ahead with us.
A meter per tenant unit, with serial numbers mapped to units, is what turns a divided bulk bill into something a tenant will pay without a dispute.
Communication options are confirmed per model. Tell us what the billing or BMS system expects and we will confirm the output before you order.
The dual-channel ultrasonic bulk meter covers DN50-DN200, which is the range most building inlets and large complexes fall into.
Certificate and test document copies are provided with the quotation, which is what the handover pack usually asks for.
These are the models most often specified for this application. Send us the pipe size and flow range and we will confirm which one fits.
DN15–DN40
CSW-UWM15-40
Static ultrasonic metering for DN15–DN40 — R250 range, no moving parts, and 24 months of history stored on board.
DN50–DN200
Two ultrasonic paths from DN50 to DN200, so turbulent or disturbed flow still measures accurately on a large main.
DN15–DN65
LXS-15E ~ LXS-65E series
The lowest-cost way to meter a household — multi-jet accuracy, no power supply, and six housing options to match the budget.
This group covers several distinct jobs. Find the one closest to yours.
A complex is billed once at the inlet and recovers the cost from its tenants. That only works if each tenant unit has its own meter, and if the meters were planned into the fit-out rather than added afterwards. Large complexes add a third level: zone meters by wing or by floor, so a leak or a rising bill can be located without reading every unit.
Where a management company buys water in bulk and resells it, the meter set is the billing system. The two things that matter are that each unit can see its own consumption, and that the meters keep reading consistently year after year so the bills are not challenged.
The inlet meter is sized on the pipe and the expected flow range, not on the building area. Undersizing gives you a meter that runs at the top of its range and wears; oversizing means low night flows fall below the starting flow and go unmeasured. Send us the pipe size and the expected minimum and maximum flow and we will confirm the size.
Meters from this application group as they go in on real jobs.
Common supply, leakage, and the fact that the meters are not read on the same date. A zone meter layer is usually what makes the difference explainable.
DN50-DN200 dual-channel ultrasonic bulk meter for most commercial inlets. Confirm against pipe size and expected flow range.
Communication options are model-specific. Send us the output your system expects and we will confirm what fits before you order.
