Sensors - Balance Sensor   

The Balance Sensor shows the mass, energy or element balance of the process.
The Balance Sensor shows the difference (usually in lbs/h) of the input total flows and the output total flows, if it is used a Mass Balance Sensor. If it is used an Element Balance Sensor, the sensor shows the difference (usually lbs/hr) between the input element amount and output element amount. If it is used an Energy Balance Sensor, the sensor shows the process energy balance (usually in kWhr/hr).
