ROCLINK Configuration Software for DOS (Version 2.2 or greater) or ROCLINK for Windows Configuration Software (Version 1.01 or greater) is required to configure the thermodynamic calculations. ROCLINK software provides a screen that displays all pertinent data, including monthly mass and energy totals.

The inputs to the system are the actual volumetric flow rate, provided by a vortex flowmeter or another linear meter, the process temperature, the process pressure, and the steam quality. Alternatively, a mass flow input (corrected) can be read directly from another device. The data from this input is archived for historical purposes just like an internally calculated mass flow. Differential pressure input is also available; contact your local sales representative for more information. Using this program, the flow of water (chilled or hot), steam (saturated or superheated) and natural gas (orifice or turbine metered) may be measured concurrently in a ROC or FloBoss. Each flow measurement takes one of the meter runs available in the unit.

The hourly and daily averages of the process temperature and pressure, plus the mass flow and energy flow rates are available to be archived on an hourly and daily basis. The maximum and minimum values for the day are recorded for each variable archived.

To run the program, the ROC should have FlashPAC version 2.10c or greater, and the FloBoss should have firmware version 1.06 or greater. The Steam/Water Application program and user manual are supplied on a CD-ROM.
