Boilerhouse projects

"In addition to our range of standard products, we design, manufacture and commission special components and systems. Our broad experience and flexible approach means we can adapt standard products to suit individual control strategies. We have tackled some unusual projects with great success." Colin Snook

"We have an excellent record for designing automatic and energy efficient solutions for individual control problems. Designing and implementing reliable systems for new applications is a challenge we all relish.
    Projects enhance ETC's understanding of boilers and burners and ultimately benefits all of our customers." Martin Thirsk

VSD pump project at Land Rover reduces CO2 emissions by 270 tonnes and saves £26,800 pa on electricity bill

Land Rover paint shopFollowing a very successful trial in Land Rover's Solihull East Works boiler house, ETC won an order to supply and install variable speed pump controls in the North and South works boiler houses.
   The performance of the pumps in East Works was monitored by the site Building Energy Management system before and after installation. Prior to the installation two pumps ran continuously at 45kW each. After installation the pumps run at an average of 7.9kW each. The pumps are in use 24 hours per day throughout the year and the resultant saving of 37kW per pump amounts to a total 640 Mega Watt Hours p.a.
    Land Rover enjoy electricity savings of £26,853 p.a. and the environment benefits from a reduction of 270 Tonnes CO2 emissions p.a. at the power generating station.
    It is thought that the emissions reductions and electricity savings will treble when all three boiler houses are equipped with ETC's pump speed controls.
    In all three boiler houses the system and installation costs have been kept to a minimum as the ETC design permits sharing of inverters, e.g. in East Works three pumps share two inverters and in South Works four pumps share three inverters.
