The data acquisition system consists of internally integrating heat meters with matched Pt100 type temperature sensors. The integrator has a sampling rate of 1s and calculates cumulated energy amounts and mean temperatures and powers. This internal sampling rate assures a correct collection of energy data for the highly dynamic temperature patterns characteristic of adsorption systems. The integrator and further temperature sensors are read out by a computer with a sampling rate of 15s. The monitoring software further reduces these values to cumulated energies and mean temperatures which are stored with an interval of 5 minutes in the raw data measurement file. The storage interval can be set by the system operator and thus allows a flexible data management. The post processing of the raw data further reduces the values to hourly accumulated and mean values — depending on the quantity considered. For the hourly mean temperature values also a standard deviation is calculated in order to judge the stability of the temperature within the evaluated hour.
