Use

If this field is selected, the Joule-Thompson effect is calculated.

The gas temperature t that was calculated normally is changed to new gas temperature NT as follows:

NT = t - (( IP - MP ) / C )

where:

  • IP = Initial pressure before register
  • MP = Outgoing pressure at register
  • C = Constant ratio: pressure difference / temperature difference (for example, 100 kPa / 0.5 °C)

Dependencies

The corrected temperature NT is used as follows, depending on what was specified in the Joule-Thomson Eff. field:

  • Direct temperature correction

    The new temperature NT is directly slotted into the temperature component Ts / ( To + t ) of the formula for the volume correction factor where:

  • Temperature correction with Joule-Thomson factor

    The temperature is corrected by multiplying the temperature component Tn / ( To + t ) by the following ratio of the temperature components, which constitutes the Joule-Thomson factor (JTF):

    JTF = ( Ts/ ( To + NT ) ) / ( Ts / ( To + t ) ).

You can maintain the values for the ratio of pressure drop to temperature drop date-specifically using a key in Customizing under SAP Utilities -> Contract Billing -> Special Functions -> Gas Billing -> Volume Correction Factor -> Temperature Maintain Values for Pressure-Temperature Ratio Joules Thomson.
