  "text": "A thermal energy meter is an instrument designed to measure the thermal energy which, in a thermal energy exchange circuit, is given up by a liquid called the thermal energy-conveying liquid.\nA thermal energy meter is either a complete instrument or a combined instrument consisting of the sub-assemblies, flow sensor, temperature sensor pair, and calculator, as defined in Article 4(2), or a combination thereof\nθ\n=\nthe temperature of the thermal energy-conveying liquid;\nθin\n=\nthe value of θ at the inlet of the thermal energy exchange circuit;\nθοut\n=\nthe value of θ at the outlet of the thermal energy exchange circuit;\nΔθ\n=\nthe temperature difference θin — θοut with Δθ ≥ 0;\nθmax\n=\nthe upper limit of θ for the thermal energy meter to function correctly within the MPEs;\nθmin\n=\nthe lower limit of θ for the thermal energy meter to function correctly within the MPEs;\nΔθmax\n=\nthe upper limit of Δθ for the thermal energy meter to function correctly within the MPEs;\nΔθmin\n=\nthe lower limit of Δθ for the thermal energy meter to function correctly within the MPEs;\nq\n=\nthe flow rate of the thermal energy conveying liquid;\nqs\n=\nthe highest value of q that is permitted for short periods of time for the thermal energy meter to function correctly;\nqp\n=\nthe highest value of q that is permitted permanently for the thermal energy meter to function correctly;\nqi\n=\nthe lowest value of q that is permitted for the thermal energy meter to function correctly;\nP\n=\nthe thermal power of the thermal energy exchange;\nPs\n=\nthe upper limit of P that is permitted for the thermal energy meter to function correctly.",
