Our Product

Ultra provides a new approach to energy saving that

combines state of the art technology with a range of

models and bespoke installation to match our clients’

operational and energy consumption profiles. Ultra will

reduce an organisation’s carbon emissions and power

consumption, delivering typical cost savings of 10-15%

and a return on investment of less than 2 years.

The level of saving that can be achieved by Ultra depends

on how and when a client uses their energy and the types

of equipment a client uses on site. Each Ultra client is

different and Keseco will always conduct a detailed survey

to establish what level of saving can be achieved prior to

each installation.

Ultra can be installed alongside other existing energy

saving solutions including Voltage Optimisation, Power

Factor Correction and Soft Start Technologies to deliver

additional savings.

A unique and flexible solution

Ultra is connected as a T-connection to the supply at any

point before or after the electrical distribution board. Ultra

is not fused and is designed as an open circuit with no

current being drawn by the unit. Ultra requires no

maintenance and runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

A unique feature of the Ultra solution is its ability to target

specific loads using a multi-unit installation design. Units

can be installed immediately prior to specific equipment

maximising both the achievable savings levels and the

return on investment.

Keseco’s team of registered engineers will project manage

the installation of Ultra from start to finish. Our engineering

team manage a UK-wide network of experienced electrical

engineers to undertake the site surveys and installations.

A normal installation takes less than one hour to install

each unit.

• All installations are made by NIC EIC or ECA registered

qualified electricians.

for Electrical Installations (currently 17th Edition)

BS 7671.

• Ultra is installed within an insulating box and all cabling

is protected within an armoured conduit.


A unique and flexible solution


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 load’s 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 equipment’s

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.

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)

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 Keseco’s data analysis software. The consumption

profile of the load is determined, allowing the matching of the

correct Ultra model to the load.

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.

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.

Delivering measurable results



CASE STUDY 1

Aggregate Industries quarries, manufactures and supplies a

wide range of heavy building materials to the construction

industry. On 26th August 2011, an Ultra model UC50 was

installed in the company’s Barton under Needwood on a

Haarup 75kW aggregates mixer used in the manufacture

paving stone composites. During a test period of 10 weeks

prior to installation the average consumption was

17.68kWh; during the continuous 4 week period post-

installation the average consumption was reduced to

14.64kWh. Ultra delivered an average 17.15% reduction in

kWh consumption.

Based on the operation of the single mixer the reduction in

consumption produces an annual saving of £5,064, an

anticipated Return on Investment of 6 months and an

annual carbon reduction of 31,171 kilogrammes. Following

the successful pilot Keseco UK are planning to roll out the

Ultra solution to other areas of the Barton under Needwood

production facility. Finding a suitable location for

installation is simple as Ultra units are up to 90% smaller

and lighter than equivalent capacity equipment used by

other optimisation and load management technologies.
