Chell Instruments Ltd, Condenser Efficiency Calculator

Folgate House, Folgate Road,

North Walsham, Norfolk, NR28 0AJ This tool allows you to calculate additional fuel costs incurred when your condenser is not running under optimal conditions.
England Please note that this is a very conservative estimate as it does not include increased running costs due to:

- Increased corrosion due to high disolved Oxygen levels

Tel: 01692 500555
- Increased anticorrosive useage
Fax: 01692 500088 - Increased CO2 Emissions
International code: + 44 1692 - Running additional air pumps
- Increased maintenance

The AIM100 Air Ingress Monitor continuously monitors condenser conditions so the control room knows when problems begin to develop. If it isn't monitored, it
isn't known. For full technical detail refer to: http://www.chell.co.uk/product_details/power-generation/air-ingress-monitor
