Hanns Seidel Foundation -Foundation - Electrification of 2 School in the Ohangwena Region
Hanns Seidel Foundation
2018
CTS has electrified two schools in remote northern Namibia funded by the Hanns Seidel Foundation with the aim to provide electricity for lighting, thus extending learning hours for learners well into the night. Both systems are based on BlueNova 4kWh lithium ion batteries, Victron Energy charge regulators and inverter technology. Remote monitoring is possible via the integrated Colour Control GX from Victron. Special attention has been given to the system configuration to prevent total battery shutdown. This is achieved by switching the inverter off at a predefined battery state of charge (typically 20%) and only reactivate the inverter once the batteries are charged beyond a predetermined threshold.
The systems where officially inaugurated by the Ambassador of Germany in June 2018.

Supply and Installation of Automatic Weather Stations at Kanovlei and Koichab Pan
National Botanical Research Institute
2014
National Botanical Research institute approached CTS to upgrade two of their existing AWS to satellite communication and subsequent installation at Kanovlei in the Tsumkwe Area as well as Koichab Pan close to Lüderitz.
Communication is via Meteosat satellites and based on a “fire and forget” principal which unfortunately does not allow remote maintenance procedures.
The stations form part of the SASSCAL Weathernet and measure all important meteorological parameters.
Weather data can be viewed at: www.sasscalweathernet.org

Installation of 10 Automatic Weather Stations in Botswana
University of Hamburg
2014
CTS was approached by the Botswana Meteorological Department and the University of Hamburg with the request to install automatic weather stations across Botswana. A total of 10 stations were engineered and build at our workshop in Windhoek prior to installation commencement. With our own tower design, the installation time is reduced to nearly 8 hours per tower.
The stations are equipped with sensors from Vaisala, Kipp and Zonen. At the heart of each station is the CR1000 logger from Campbell Scientific. Each station is capable to measure the following:
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Humidity
- Air Temperature
- Irradiance
- Barometric pressure
- Ground Temperature
- Rain
- Leaf wetness
In addition to the above parameters the following parameters are calculated by the logger by means of mathematical models.
- Dew point temperature
- Wet bulb temperature
- Sunshine duration
The data from the station is transmitted to ftp servers situated in Gaborone/Botswana as well as Hamburg/Germany on an hourly bases over locally available GSM network providers. Once the data is uploaded to the server in Hamburg, it is processed and posted on a publicly available website. This website collects data of numerous stations across Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Angola and South Africa for research purposes. A total of 8000km was covered in just under 4 weeks.

Supply and Installation of a Hot Water Plant at Ongwediva Meat Processing Facitly
Ministry of Agriculture
2020
A modern hot water plant was installed based on heat pump technology. Stiebel Eltron storage tanks as well as heat pumps are supplied that are extremely energy efficient and long life expectancy while at the same time low on maintenance. Further energy savings are achieved as the system is connected to heat recovery units as part of the refrigeration plant.
The challenge of such a system is to guarantee even loading and unloading of the tanks with water to guarantee a uniform temperature distribution in all tanks. This has been achieved by careful piping planing based on the Tichelmann principal.
The system comprises of the following:
- 6x 1000 L buffer tanks
- 2x 23kW heat pump units.
- various pumps and control unit

Supply and Installation of Laundry Equipment at Okankolo Heath Care Centre
Ministry Of Health And Social Services
2010
CTS was awarded the tender in February 2010 for Okankolo Health Centre’s laundry.
The scope of the work included the supply, manufacture and assembly, delivery to site, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of laundry equipment.
Health Centers have to ensure that their laundry is hygienically clean. Our washing machines have a special sluicing program, which is ideal for blood stained linen and operation gowns. After the sluicing program, washing resumes as normal at higher temperatures, ensuring that all bacteria are destroyed, leaving laundry clean and safe to be used again. Our washers can be equipped with a second drain valve to recycle drain water, making them environmentally friendly.
Using roller ironers further sterilizes the linen; ensuring optimum care is taken for patients as well as Health Center staff.
