"production" and "bottling". Associated sectors, for example the bottle supplies western Germany and the
cleaning facility or the brewing kettles, are supplied with the necessary heat Benelux countries.
energy from these circuits by means of heat exchangers.
Up to now, there was only one energy measuring possibility for the two
boiler of the central boiler house. Neither the actual net heat consumption
of the respective operating sectors nor the heat exchange between the
two boilers could be measured.
Now, an online control and analysis of the energy flux is available thanks
to non-invasive heat quantity measurement. FLUXUS® ADM delivers the
necessary data for the energy-optimized operation of the connected
systems and provides useful information in order to optimize the total
system.
