Why does the smart IoT gas meter run faster?

The smart IoT gas meter does not run faster. There are several reasons for this illusion:

1. During the long-term operation of the gas meter, impurities will accumulate, especially the gas meter diaphragm will be greatly affected, resulting in fast and slow operation speeds and inaccurate operation. Before using the newly replaced gas meter, it must undergo mandatory inspection by the measurement supervision and inspection department. After passing the inspection, a corresponding verification certificate will be issued, which complies with the national measurement verification regulations. Its measurement performance is accurate and normal, and the majority of residential users can use it with confidence.

2. The gas stove and water heater have been used for a long time. During use, a large amount of garbage and dust will be generated, blocking the air outlet of the gas stove, resulting in its air intake being disproportionate to the gas combustion. The gas output is the same, but the calorific value does not meet the requirements, resulting in an increase in gas consumption. Scale will form in the water heater, hindering the heat transfer of gas combustion, thereby increasing gas consumption.

3. Temperature changes. The gas consumption in winter is higher than in other seasons. This is mainly because the temperature is lower in winter, and more gas is required to heat the same food and water. In addition, the water temperature required for bathing in winter is relatively higher than that in other seasons. If the bathing time is extended, the gas consumption will also be greater. If the gas meter is replaced in autumn and winter, it will give people the illusion that the new gas meter is "running faster" than before.

4. Recharge frequency and balance display. In the past, when using IC card gas meters, you need to bring your gas card to the self-service recharge machine or business hall to pay. In order to avoid trouble, the gas volume of a single recharge is high and the recharge frequency is low. The smart gas meter can pay through the mobile phone, which is very convenient. Users can recharge at any time, thereby increasing the recharge frequency. In addition, the balance display of the replaced IoT gas meter is different from that of most previous IC card gas meters. It changes from displaying the remaining cubic meters to displaying the remaining amount. As a result, for every cubic meter of standard natural gas consumed by the gas meter, the remaining amount displayed is larger than the previous gas meter, creating the illusion that the new meter "runs faster".
