The fastest route to energy reduction

The Ultra Effect


Ultra is based on a breakthrough in current improvement and energy saving technology. Ultra improves the efficiency of the current by decreasing the demand curve of inductive motor loads on start-up and during variable operation. The Ultra effect responds to the frequency and amplitude of a loads normal demand curve. Simply put the more frequent the change in demand and the higher the level of demand in a given period of time, the higher the level of savings Ultra can deliver. Ultra is designed to deliver savings where inductive motor loads are present, and where the equipments normal demand curve is varied due to the design or the usage profile.

To create the Ultra effect the Ultra unit emits a magnetic wave into the electrical supply that changes the polarity of the electron spin causing an alignment of the electron spin vortexes, producing a spin wave within the electrical supply. The magnetic wave emitted by the Ultra unit results from a combination of far infrared rays, emitted by the ceramic lining of the unit, and the effect of the alternating electromagnetic waves within the supply on the electromagnetic properties of a second ceramic compound within the unit.

Delivering measurable results

Survey
To ensure clients achieve the optimum levels of performance following installation, Keseco collects certain key data during the survey including: Identification and location of all main and sub distribution boards and the size of their loads Operating days and hours of all loads Details of any installation constraints such as access and space Variables influencing the consumption of the loads Historical consumption data for the site and individual equipment (typically 12 months of half hourly readings)

Performance Measurement
Measuring the performance of Ultra ensures that all savings data is accurately provided for clients. By clearly identifying the savings delivered by Ultra, Keseco is able to accurately predict the return on investment the client will achieve.

Design and Installation


The Ultra solution design process involves the analysis of the data collected during the survey and the evaluation of the operating profile of each individual load and the building as a whole. The operating profile and consumption is determined using Kesecos data analysis software. The consumption profile of the load is determined, allowing the matching of the correct Ultra model to the load. Keseco has adopted the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) as used by the leading energy service companies and suppliers. IPMVP allows Keseco to adopt a variety of approaches to measuring energy savings that correspond to the specific environment where Ultra is being installed.
