Balancing Instrument
2007.02
Technical description
TA-CBI is a computer programmed balancing instrument. It
consists of an electronic differential pressure gauge and a
micro computer which has been programmed with the TA valve
characteristics which makes possible a direct reading of flow
and differential pressures.
The TA-CBI has two main components:
- An instrument which contains a micro computer, input touch
pad, LCD display and re-chargeable NiMh batteries.
- A sensor unit which contains a piezoresistive pressure
sensor, one measurement valve and connections. The
measurement valve has a safety function which protects the
sensor from too high differential pressures.
Measurement range:
Total pressure: max 2 500 kPa.
Differential pressure: -9 to 200 kPa.
Flow: During flow measurements the pressure range is 0.5 to
200 kPa.
Temperature: -20 to 120C

Function
Differential pressure measurement
Sensor for high total pressures and low differential pressures gives quick results and reliable readings.
Temperature measurement
A Pt 1000 temperature sensor which allows measurement direct in the media is included.
Automatic calibration
When the sensor is connected and the instrument switched on, the sensor is automatically calibrated before each measurement
sequence.
Automatic venting
The design of the sensor unit and a short flow-through during calibration eliminate measurement errors caused by insufficient
venting.
Balancing
The instrument is programmed to calculate pre-setting values for balancing and also the TA Method and TA Balance.
PC communication
Measured values can be saved in the TA-CBI and then transferred to a PC for printout as a commissioning report. It is also possible
to prepare the measurements by describing the system in the PC and then download the data to the TA-CBI. A PC program is
included for this purpose.
Media correction
TA-CBI can calculate flows with different contents of glycol or similar anti-freeze additives in the water.
Trouble shooting
TA-CBI can log differential pressures, flows or temperatures: up to 24 000 measured values can be logged. With appropriate
choice of logging interval, this means that periods from 20 hours to 65 days can be covered.

Manuals
See the following manuals for descriptions of various balancing methods:

Manual no. 2: Balancing distribution systems
Manual no. 3: Balancing of radiator systems
Manual no. 4: Hydronic balancing with differential pressure controllers
TA Balance
This method involves balancing the circuits (the modules) separately. Measure each valve at two settings: the prescribed position,
and closed. When all the valves in the module have been measured, the TA-CBI will calculate the settings and assign a pressure
drop of 3 kPa to the least favoured valve.
TA Method
In the TA Method you first choose the valve which is furthest away in the circuit as a reference valve. Using the main valve for this
entire circuit, maintain a constant differential pressure during the course of the operation (for example 3 kPa) at the correct flow
through the reference valve. Then, set the correct flow rate in the remaining valves in this circuit successively starting with the
second furthest valve from the pump.
When all circuits are ready proceed with the main line. When the entire installation is balanced all valves have the correct flow. If
it has been necessary to throttle a valve in series with the pump, adjust the pump or change to one with the correct capacity.
