October
2002: Hukseflux announces cooperation on the subject of intelligent
sootblowing with Clyde Bergemann Power
Group.
The
water cannons of Clyde Bergemann in combination with heat
flux sensors and the appropriate software, offer the optimum solution for
automation of the (otherwise manually controlled) sootblowing process in
electrical power plants.
The
first installations indicate that by improving heat transfer between furnace and
wall, savings in fuel of between 1 and 2 % can be attained. Additional benefits
are in increased lifetime of tubing (sootblowing is done only if and where
necessary) and reduction of workload for personnel.

popularity. It is now taken into the standard delivery program of Campbell
Scientific for high accuracy Bowen Ratio Systems.
For operation
of TP01 and HFP01SC with the Campbell Scientific CR10X two new programs have
been developed. These are available free of charge via e-mail.
We have included our most common brochures and scientific literature
