Clamp-On for Reduced Costs and Maximum Availability!
Story
aM&T (Automatic Monitoring & Targeting) the combination of automatic meter reading and M&T are high on the list of requirements for Energy Managers and Building Services designers and Clamp-On, Ultrasonic metering can make a significant contribution. However, whilst major projects including BAA Terminal 5 and the ExCeL exhibition centre in London have taken advantage of the associated benefits, general uptake in Building Services design has been slower than expected. Micronics offer a wide range of fixed Clamp-On metering solutions as an alternative to traditional in-line meters, which offer the following benefits:
? No disruption of services or problems associated with system drain down for maintenance
? Minimum downtime and maximum availability
? Significant reductions in meter supply and installation costs for larger meters and retrofit applications.
? No in-line pressure drop and energy losses
The meters can be applied in a stand-alone mode and provide instantaneous flow, totalised energy and volumetric values, communicate selected alarm conditions via relay outputs or be integrated with BEMS, aM&T or Billing systems via M Bus and other industry standard communications.
At Terminal 5 London Heathrow Airport they were incorporated into the design to minimise system downtime and maximise availability of critical environmental systems in both the Terminal and the Energy Centre. Providing a cost-effective metering solution with the benefits of high availability and simple non-disruptive maintenance.
