Economatics name is synonymous with the supply of Compressor and Pneumatics products and services. This has been the core of its business for 40 years

As someone with responsibility for the compressed air system, you will be expected to guarantee air at the right pressure and flow, but also at least cost.  To do this there are two aspects: you need to produce and use compressed air as efficiently as possible.  Disproportionate emphasis on efficient generation of compressed air in the compressor house, may lead to other factors such as the value of effective maintenance and user behaviour being overlooked.  Here the role of maintenance in a reliable and energy efficient system.

Compressed air systems rely on effective maintenance for reliability, safety and energy efficiency and compliance with legislation.  All of these contribute to a cost-effective compressed air system.

Missing a maintenance service is a false economy, for compressors, ancillary equipment and the distribution piping connections.  Effective maintenance not only saves energy it helps address the more critical issue of air supply reliability for processes.  For most operations reliability of supply (whether this be pressure, volume or air purity) is paramount.   Although energy efficiency receives wide coverage, reliability of supply has even greater business implications, e.g. a metal products manufacturer had paid little attention to its compressed air system, stating that it only represented 4% of the site energy costs.  However if the supply failed then the cost of lost production of a number of critical processes dwarfed the energy costs, so improving the system should have been a priority and delivered energy benefits as an added bonus.

European Chiller Rental specialist, Cool Energy, has successfully launched their latest range of energy-saving chillers which feature integral free cooling coils

The replacement of the original 1960s high temperature hot water heating system with Nor-Ray-Vac continuous radiant tube heaters has transformed comfort conditions

Many warehouses are now suffering the effects of heat, particularly in areas where mezzanine floors have been built.  Also many pharmaceutical products now need to be stored at temperatures below 250C  to comply with the requirements of the MHRA. Previously this temperature has only been properly achieved and maintained using expensive refrigeration-based air conditioning systems because simple ventilation systems are not able to match this standard. EcoCooling can now offer a balanced evaporatively-cooled ventilation scheme which can ensure full compliance.

18 EcoCoolers were installed in a large pharmaceutical warehouse in Orleans France. The coolers were linked to a common control system which monitors temperature at multiple levels in the warehouse. A combination of ventilation, evaporative cooling and air throughput are regulated by an integral control system to meet temperature criteria.

Watkins Hire Ltd is proud to announce the launch of their brand new heater hire range.
We have recognised the market place requires reliable high output (60 to 300kw), high quality and high usage indirect fired heaters. This range of heaters reflects that need and will meet the varied range of applications. These will include the Construction Industry, Corporate and public events, Manufacturing, Exhibition Halls, Sports Halls, Storage, Retail and Education. This is a brief list and is not exhaustive, in fact where-ever heat is needed in large quantity these units will be of value.  
 
Supported be an extensive range of accessories and ancillaries to include dedicated fuel storage tanks compliant to Pollution prevention guidelines PPG2/PPG26 and UN/ADR compliant to allow transportation on the highway full of fuel, flexible high temperature ducting and room diffusers.
