Design, Manufacture and Supply 21 Automatic Weather Stations
National Botanical Research Institute (BIOTA)
2010
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.

Installation of 5 Automatic Weather Stations in Botswana with Satellite Communication
University of Hamburg
2015
Based on our excellent service and knowledge we have rendered to the Botswana Meteorological Department as well as University of Hamburg, CTS was able to secure the 2nd Phase of the manufacture, supply and installation of automatic weather stations in Botswana.
The stations supplied to make use of satellite communication due to the extreme remoteness of the sites, these were:
- Mababe (Savuti Marsh)
- Tubu (Okavango)
- Baines Drift (Eastern Botswana)
- Xade (Central Kalahari Game Park)
- Ngwaltle (Western Botswana)
These stations are not located at any Meteorological Department property, thus fences had to be erected for protection against animals.
Station design is based on our well proven tripod mast with all relevant sensors and a CR1000 logger as the processing unit. Data is transmitted at fixed timeslots allocated by EUMETSAT (Germany) on an hourly basis. Satellite transmission is based on a fire and forget principle, thus no remote maintenance can be done.

Supply, Delivery and Installation of a Gas Fired Water Heating System for Hilton Hotel Windhoek
Hilton Hotel Windhoek
2010
CTS was awarded the tender to install a water heating system for the Hilton Hotel Windhoek.
The system was installed according to the following specifications:
• 2x 250kW gas fired hot water boiler
• 2x 6800 liter hot water storage tank (also known as calorifier)
• 1x Danfoss Aqua drive 11kW for glycol circulation pump control
• 2x Automatic bypass valves to control water temperature inside tank
• 4x Hot water circulation pumps
The boilers as well as glycol circulation pumps and one hot water storage tank were installed in the boiler room located in the upper basement of the hotel. The second hot water storage tank is installed on the 9th floor of the Hilton Hotel. A glycol circulation system connects the two calorifier with the two gas fired hot water boilers. The glycol circulation pumps are controlled from one Danfoss Aqua drive with cascading functionality to control the pumping speed depending on the temperature in the glycol line.
Each hot water boiler is cycled on a 24 hour basis, should the glycol temperature fall below a predetermined threshold for certain period of time the second boiler will start automatically.
Automatic bypass valves guarantee that the water temperature of each calorifier is kept at a constant 60 – 65 degrees Celsius.

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.
