Hospital uses meters to make energy efficiencies

In the current climate of NHS cuts, managers at an acute, district general hospital, which provides healthcare services to over 270,000 people in Bedfordshire, wanted to understand their consumption of hot water and identify the requirements for replacing their equipment with the most energy efficient solution.

ETA Energy System established full weekly hot water consumption profiles allowing equipment to be accurately selected for the replacement project. Two Micronics PF330 meters were chosen for ease of installation and maintenance and service benefits.

The product, used for clean liquid monitoring, with its integral logger and software and non-invasive measurement represented significant savings on installation costs and less disruption than when installing an inline meter. The Micronics clamp-on flowmeter for liquids is portable and easy to use and offers continuity and long term reliability. It is robustly constructed and is said to provide a quick and reliable means of measuring flow accurately.
