Heating and cooling systems are crucial amenities that coincide in day-to-day operations. However, much like other utilities, measuring efficiency levels is the key to saving costs and energy. The complexity of newer buildings, stricter laws and regulations and changing requirements for heating and cooling pose challenges for plant personnel. With smart energy solutions, personnel can optimize their production processes and ensure their operations are running efficiently.
Heating systems and district heating
It's common to find a multitude of industry-specific heating processes and technologies. That’s why customized approaches and specific measured values are needed to assess their performance and improve their output.
Energy loss is typically high in boilers and furnaces due to inefficient combustion, incorrect operation or poor maintenance and servicing. Measuring the efficiency is the best way to prevent loss and cut energy consumption by up to 55%.
By monitoring fuel consumption, air combustion, flue gas temperature or the transmission rate of thermal energy you can:
Identify and quantify energy loss, such as no-load or partial-load operation of the burner
Assess and optimize degree of boiler efficiency and consumption
Minimize maintenance costs and downtimes
Quantify improvement measures such as the pre-heating of combustion air
There are multiple steps in the heating systems process that can be improved to reduce costs.

Cooling has even more potential for savings than heating. In many industries, the production of cooling energy accounts for roughly 10% of electricity consumption, so even minor energy reductions can mean significant cost savings.
An individual analysis of the supply and demand is needed to identify the ideal operating point, which means electricity (watt) meters are not sufficient in monitoring total energy demand reliability.
Enhance your cooling water process
Cooling happens in a variety of ways throughout industrial processes. One common area where many efficiencies can be achieved is the cooling water process. An efficient cooling system requires more than just efficient components. The configuration and operation of the system must also be considered. Often, cooling systems are developed based on a customer’s specific needs.
To enhance your cooling water process and your overall cooling system further you can implement the following maintenance measures:
Manage proper flow and pressures
Minimize leaks
Avoid deposit buildup in cooling tower and pipes
Analyze water chemistry to ensure certain quality parameters are met
Gain transparency and insights into your process and increase safety with these instruments for water cooling
Steam serves as a crucial heat transfer medium across various industries, emphasizing the utmost priority on safety throughout its production, distribution and utilization.
