Measures flow

Flow measurement equipment from VPInstruments was used by Air Energy Management in an air audit at the Astrum factory that produces military vehicle castings.With the help of the flow meters, the company was able determine the potential for savings.

A Carbon Trust loan helped fund the energy saving measures. For example, it paid for low pressure piping, variable speed compressors and leak-detection management equipment. VPVision and several VPFlowScope flow meters were bought for compressed air monitoring and leakage management. The entire project will be cost neutral in just four years.
