Design, Manufacture and Supply 21 Automatic Weather Stations
National Botanical Research Institute (BIOTA)
2009
CTS has supplied 21 weather stations for the Biota research project. These weather stations are designed according to world meteorological standard.
Each station consists of:
- Wind Speed and Direction Sensor
- Irradiance Sensor
- Humidity/Ambient Temperature Sensor
- Barometric Pressure Sensor
- Ground Temperature Sensor
- Leaf Wetness Sensor
- Rain Bucket
The weather stations are equipment with the CR1000 logger from Campbell Scientific. Special software has been developed to allow automatic transmission of the weather data to a server based in Germany via GPRS using the local GSM network. Software updates can be done remotely minimizing travel.
Weather data can be viewed at: www.sasscalweathernet.org
Installation of 26 Autoclaves Country Wide
Ministry of Health and Social Services
2014
CTS was awarded four tenders in 2015, to supply, deliver to site, install, test and commission of autoclaves throughout Namibia.
In addition to the 160L Steri Tech autoclaves, water softeners were installed to increase the life span of each unit and reduce overall maintenance cost.
A number of installation teams worked hard to complete the project within the stringent timeframe set by the client. Each site came with its own challenges such as:
- Removing of existing units that were beyond repair
- Low supply water pressure
- Space limitations where the new units were to be installed
- Breaking out of walls to fit new autoclave
17kW Grid Tied Photovoltaic System
Stier Vente Chartered Accountant
2016
In early 2017 Stier Vente Chartered Accountant did take the decision to move to renewable energy. A 17kW grid feed system was installed on the roof of the office building to reduce the monthly electricity bill.
A total of 67 260W PV modules and a SMA SunnyTripower 17kW inverter was installed. Remote monitoring allows CTS to advise the client on possible faults and recommended actions to be taken.
Supply of Solar Resource Measurement Station to NUST
Namibia University of Science and Technology
2015
Central Technical Supplies was approached by the University of Stellenbosch to take part in a tender to supply a solar resource measurement station to the Namibia University of Science and Technology in Windhoek.
We were successful in winning the tender. The station is based on the Kipp and Zonen Solys 2 sun tracker with CMP 10 Pyranometer and CHP1 Pyrheliometer.
The station is based on the CR1000 logger from Campbell Scientific and measures wind speed and direction as well as ambient temperature, humidity and rain in addition to the solar resource data.
6kw grid feed photovoltaic system installed in Klein Windhoek
Private
2010
CTS was approached by a senior resident of Klein Windhoek to install a grid-tied photovoltaic system with the aim to cut back on the monthly electricity bill. The system included:
- 42x 130W photovoltaic modules and mounting structure
- 1x 6kW grid tied inverter
The system is designed such as to generate an estimated 900kWh per month.
Supply and Installation of a Hot Water Plant at Ongwediva Meat Processing Facitly
Ministry of Agriculture
2019
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
