Field Beta TestsAgua Dulce Site

• Prototype Energy Meter configured using IIT RGC
  data logger platform
• Beta Tests conducted at El Paso Energy Meter
  Station
• Data collected from Spring 2004 through December
  2004
• Initial data identified some metering and GC
  related problems at site showing unexpected
  diagnostic benefits of technology. Subject of
  SwRI paper at AGA in March 2005.
• Final results validated SwRI target of /- 2 BTU
  accuracy.
