Investing in precise, non-invasive energy measurement is essential for today’s smart buildings, industrial facilities, and utility networks. The Techknave ClampOn insertion type flow and BTU meters (TKN202B) from ConnectME Solutions delivers versatility and convenience with its advanced IoT-ready ultrasonic sensing.
What Sets the TKN202B Apart?
- Truly Non-Intrusive Installation
The TKN202B clamps onto the exterior of pipes (DN25–DN600), measuring liquid flow and thermal energy without disturbing the system—no cutting, welding, pressurization, or downtime.
- High Precision & Reliability
Accurate to ±0.5–1%, capable of measuring velocities 0.01–15 m/s. Data logging, BTU/MWh computation, and velocity/volumetric outputs are built-in.
- Flexible Connectivity
Integrates seamlessly via Modbus (RTU/TCP), BACnet (MSTP/IP), M-Bus, and optional 4G/GPRS. Compatible with cloud platforms like UBILL for centralized monitoring.
- Built for Harsh Environments
Industrial-grade, IP65-rated, weather-resistant housing ensures deployment in outdoor or plant settings.
“At ConnectMe Solutions, we believe that smarter infrastructure begins with smarter data. The TKN202B ClampOn Meter is our answer to modern energy monitoring—non-intrusive, precise, and built for tomorrow’s needs.”– KOTHANDAPANI (KOTHS), IIOT SPECIALIST AT CONNECTME SOLUTIONS
Real-World Use Cases & Benefits
Commercial HVAC & Building Automation
Scenario: A large commercial building seeks to optimize HVAC efficiency and allocate utility costs per tenant.
Application: Install TKN202B on chilled and hot water loops to track BTU usage. Real-time data feeds into BMS and tenant billing systems, enabling:
- Precise energy allocation and cost transparency
- Detection of anomalies (e.g., cooling/heating inefficiencies)
- Automated tenant utility finance with UBILL integration
District Cooling & Central Plant Energy Monitoring
Scenario: A city-scale district-cooling provider aims to improve plant efficiency and detect maintenance issues.
Application: Clamp TKN202B onto plant return lines to monitor energy usage and detect leaks or fouling. Key outcomes:
- Reduced wastage and pump runtime
- Early alerts for flow discrepancies
- Enhanced preventive maintenance through data-driven analytics
Process Water Management in Industrial Facilities
Scenario: A chemical plant needs to monitor process water flow for heat exchangers without halt or contamination.
Application: Instantly attach the TKN202B to the processing loop. Benefits include:
- Non-intrusive monitoring of corrosive or purified water
- No pressure drops, corrosion, or pipe disturbance
- Compatibility with multiple pipe materials—metal, PVC, lined pipes
Regulatory & Remote Asset Monitoring
Scenario: Water/wastewater operators require energy usage tracking in remote environments.
Application: Use the IP65-rated TKN202B with GPRS/4G connectivity to relay data to cloud servers for:
- Continuous compliance reporting
- Remote asset monitoring without field visits
- Centralised dashboard visibility and alarms via Uenergy or UBILL
How It Works – Behind the Meter
- Ultrasonic Clamp-On Sensors transmit pulses through the pipe wall.
- Flow velocity is calculated based on propagation times; combining with fluid temperature yields BTU or MWh.
- All captured data is logged and relayed through protocols like Modbus or BACnet.
- Data can be locally displayed or sent to cloud-based dashboards for analysis, billing, or alerts.
