Retrieving Flow Meter Data from Duke

Headed back out to Duke to retrieve our flow meter. It will be interesting to see where the data leads us. The hot water line this meter was attached to services the food court in the Bryan Center. This food court has five or six fast food style restaurants, so we would anticipate the dish-washing load to be limited to pots and pans in the kitchen. There’s actually another hot water line beside the one we metered that presumably services all other domestic hot water in the building. I may come back and install our meter on this line in a few days to see what the demand there is, too. Getting the load right is the first step in properly designing any solar water heating system!
