Katronic to Exhibit at Energy Solutions Expo 2008

Event chosen as key shop window to the sustainable energy market.

The Energy Solutions Expo is an event intended to help various indutry sectors gain further information on how to become more energy efficient and make better use of sustainable and renewable energy sources. Katronic have decided to participe for the first time this year as it was felt that this even best reflected the opportunities that exist for the use of clamp-on flowmeters in this market.

As companies and facilities such as hospitals and universities seek to improve their energy efficiency, there are numerous uses for both portable and permanently installed ultrasonic flowmeters. For a start, before making any changes to a system it is important to be able to benchmark where you are starting from. A clamp-on flowmeter from Katronic can provide you with this information, as well as offering a solution to continuously monitor the improvements once they are made.

The ultrasonic flowmeters from Katronic can also be used as commissioning and fault find tools for large scale HVAC systems. Another growth area for the clamp-on flowmeters is in the sizing of new CHP plants. As the use of CHP of all sizes becomes more common, the ultrasonic meters can provide the ideal solution in helping finding the right solution for each installation.

The Energy Solutions Expo is based around three main areas:

• Compliance: New targets have been set for the EETS (European Emissions Trading Scheme) to lower carbon emissions by 30% by 2020 and by 60% by 2050.
  
• Cost: By lowering an organisation´s energy consumption, business costs can also be reduced.
  
• Corporate / Social Responsibility: Social awareness has forced decision makers to source more efficient energy solutions.
