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:

1. Removing of existing units that were beyond repair
2. Low supply water pressure
3. Space limitations where the new units were to be installed
4. Breaking out of walls to fit new autoclave
   

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.

CTS removed old and obsolete laundry equipment and installed new machines.

The installed equipment sonsisted of:

• 3 x new Primus RS35 washer extractors
• 3 x Maytag energy saving tumble dryers
• 2 x Miele through-feed drying ironers
• including laundry trolleys, ironing trolleys, hand-irons and ironing tables
  
  

CTS was awarded the tender in July 2011 for Katima Mulilo’s Hospital laundry. The scope of the work included the supply, manufacture and assembly, delivery to site, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of laundry equipment.

Safety is born of experience. In the field of clinical practice, medical know-how and professional laundry care ensure optimum treatment and care of patients. For this, systematic cleaning, disinfection, drying and sterilization of linen and operating garments are prerequisites for avoiding risk to both patients and staff.

Katima Mulilo’s Hospital has to process over 1 ton of laundry per day. Our high speed washer extractors have a spin factor of 830rpm, greatly reducing tumbling time. With built in soap dispensers, the correct amount of soap is used each time, and the perforated lifting ribs mean more mechanical action and lower water consumption. The high speed washers significantly reduce water and electricity consumption, and still ensure hygienically clean laundry.

Miele offer rotary ironers with roller diameters ranging from 210 to 500 mm. Aluminium heater plates instead of steel guarantee an excellent distribution of heat and considerably reduced heating up times. The foot control ensures that the roller can be easily stopped, eg. for steaming.

A pneumatic lifting device creates a high pressure ironing action for an excellent finish. Katima Mulilo’s Hospital has the largest Miele rotary ironers in Namibia.

Pionieerspark Medical Centre can call themselves a proud owner of a 38kW photovoltaic grid feed system. Considerable savings on the monthly electricity bill are achieved as most of the electricity requirements are produced directly at the customer. Excess energy is fed back into the grid and credited on the monthly electricity bill by City of Windhoek.

The system consists of 144 265W PV modules mounted flat on the roof of the building with 2 Fronius three phase grid feed inverters and remote monitoring via the Fronius App on the cell phone. Remote monitoring allows CTS to advise the client on possible faults and recommended actions to be taken.

The University of Hamburg approached CTS directly with the request to quote and subsequently manufacture and install 3 automatic weather stations at:

• Khorixas
• Kaoko Otavi
• Okangwati

Once again, satellite communication has been chosen, this time not because of GSM not being available, but to reduce future cost of the stations as satellite communication for these stations has got no costs associated.

In addition to the basic data measured:

• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Humidity
• Air Temperature
• Irradiance
• Barometric pressure
• Ground Temperature
• Rain
• Leaf wetness

The stations are equipped with a WLAN interface. This allows the connection of 49″ SmartTV to be connected to each station to display the current weather inside close by offices.
