Surveying large-scale heating
and HWS installations to
establish a basis for
improvements can prove daunting;
Environmental Treatment Concepts
(ETC) uses a PF330 Time of Flight
portable clamp-on flow and heatmeter
data logger from Micronics .

ETC has helped clients save
thousands of pounds with its
Effective Physical Water Treatment.

Water that is naturally hard, as in
70% of the UK, contains dissolved
calcium and other minerals and their
effect on pipe work and water
systems can be problematic, reducing
heat exchanger energy efficiency by
up to 40% due to lime scale buildup.

The Micronics products are used
to demonstrate how bad the
performance is before installation
and the improvements in efficiency
following installation with LTHW
pipe sizes ranging from circa 2 to 18in.

ETC products are said to prevent
new and reduce existing lime scale.

Water flow rate is a key factor and
the PF330 provides information for
assessment and timeframes for
improvement.
