Cost effective clamp-on flow meters

When managers at a hospital in Bedfordshire wanted to understand their consumption of hot water in order to identify requirements for replacing equipment with the most energy efficient solution, they called in ETA Energy Systems. The Bedford-based consultant specialises in determining that pumps, flowrates and balancing valves are correctly set.

Peter Richardson, ETA's MD says: "Having considered various measure ment alternatives two Micronics PF330 meters were selected due to the ease of installation and the mainten ance and service benefits delivered by this non-contact technology." The specialist Micronics product, used for clean liquid monitoring, with its integral logger and software and non-invasive measurement is said to provide significant savings on installation costs and less disruption than when installing an alternative in-line meter.
