Temperature Compensation
Temperature Compensation
We are UK distributors for Meurs TVC (Temperature Volume Compensation automatic temperature compensation (ATC), which is the first retrofit ATC kit to gain Weights and Measures approval in the UK for all electronic fuel dispensers.
With many oil companies offering STA fuel supply agreements, this is an important developing area giving fuel retailers the opportunity to remove losses due to temperature changes from their retail operation.
TVC temperature compensation
Our TVC Retrofit kits were the first to be approved by UK Weights and Measures for fitting to any electronic counter on a petrol pump.
All fuels, when sold at a temperature that is different to the one that they were purchased at, will result in either a loss or gain to the retailer. If the selling temperature is lower than the purchase temperature, there will be a loss to the retailer, and conversely if the selling temperature is higher than the purchase temperature , there will be a gain to the retailer.
Temperature compensation commonly known as ATC allows the retailer to iron out these losses/gains, at least back to 15˚C, by recalculating the dispensing volume back to an accepted standard temperature. In Europe this is 15˚C *commonly known as V15. If the retailer were to purchase their fuel at V15 (i.e. temperature compensated), and then sell at V15, all temperature losses would be eliminated.
