With the new year looming is it time to improve your energy management?  Typically energy management involves the following steps: 1) Metering energy consumption & collecting the data Effective metering is fundamental to energy management with meter data proving invaluable for identifying energy-saving opportunities. The more data you can get and the more detailed it is, the better! 2) Finding opportunities to save energy Detailed interval energy consumption data makes it possible to see patterns of energy waste. By analysing your meter data you can find and quantify routine energy waste. 3) Taking action to target the opportunities to save energy Having analysed the meter data you should have identified some areas that could be improved. Routine waste such as water use in production could be tackled by installing new equipment, a batch controller perhaps. 4) Tracking your progress By analysing your meter data since you made changes allows you to see how well your energy-...

The E-Series water meter from Badger Meter has been given OIML approval according to R49-1 – for metering cold potable water and hot water. OIML is the International Organization of Legal Metrology established to promote the global harmonisation of legal metrology procedure. The E-Series was found to meet the requirements stipulated within the OIML R49 test. The E-Series is designed for water utility metering applications and features ultrasonic technology and electronic, solid-state construction. With no moving parts, the E-Series water meter improves accuracy and reliability by virtually eliminating the mechanical wear. The E-Series benefits from a compact encapsulated, submersible IP68 and UV-resistant housing and an easy to read LCD display. Available in sizes 5/8” up to 2” and flow rates from 0.4 to 95 l/min the E-Series is ideal in any application requiring long-term measurement accuracy. For more information on the E-Series please call +44 (0)1280 817304. ...

Last week Macnaught launched two new pulse modules- the DIN Compact Pulser Module and the Industrial Pulse Cap, to compliment their MX range of oval gear flow meters. The new pulse options have been developed to appeal to a broader range of industrial applications, including fixed and mobile plant operations, and both include sensor configuration options of Reed and Hall effect or Dual Hall. The new DIN Compact Pulser Module features a recognisable DIN plug in 5 position with a choice of cabling or field connections and incorporates the unique M-Lock mounting system found on existing pulsers within the MX Series. The new Industrial Pulse Cap is designed for those customers who wish to route the signal cables via a cable gland or through an armoured conduit, for instance use on service trucks. This cap is fixed to the meter body- does not feature M-Lock system. Macnaught have also introduced a ‘blind’ flow meter option, which is to be ordered separately, to facilitate the new pulse...

Earlier this month our technical sales team were invited over to Otočec in Slovenia for product training on the AquaLink telemetry system- a platform that enables remote online monitoring of flow meters. As strong advocates of training to boost our product expertise, our team spent two days learning about the technical aspects and capabilities of the AquaLink unit, it’s programming and how to interpret collected data via the cloud based software.  With up to 3 Digital inputs and 3 Analog inputs, a 6 year battery or mains power, real time data collection, sensor based alarms and an IP67 ABS enclosure, the AquaLink offers a complete system for data logging and leak detection. AquaLink also announced that they were working on a mobile App to be released early next year, which will make on-site programming even easier! However it was not all hard work and no play, the hosts also wined and dined our team. They visited Pleterje Carthusian Monastery where they tasted Cv...

The clocks have gone back, the nights are closing in and according to the Telegraph we are facing the longest winter in 50 years. Are you prepared for the cold? No doubt you’ve started to put the heating on already but when was the last time you checked how much heating oil you have left in your tank? Perhaps the thought of traipsing outside in your dressing gown to check your oil level fills you with dread and you long for a way to check it without leaving the warmth of your home? Well help is at hand with the Apollo Smart. Apollo Smart not only allows heating oil users to ascertain the volume of fuel remaining in their tank, but also monitor heating costs, consumption and emissions too. It consists of a transmitter and receiver unit. The transmitter easily fits onto your tank and monitors the volum e of heating oil remaining, together with fuel usage and consumption. The transmitter relays data, including estimated days until empty, wirelessly to a mains powered receive...
