Load profile
Incomer and feeders logged at one-minute resolution across a full duty cycle
Stage 1 of 4: Measure
See every kilowatt-hour as it is used
Most sites learn their consumption once a month, as a single number on a bill — we clamp meters onto your incomer and your biggest loads and show you the load, hour by hour, so waste has nowhere to hide
- 1 min logging resolution
- 2 wk+ baseline before any change
- ½ day typical install, no shutdown
- 0 production stoppages
Figures on this page are typical or illustrative ranges from our method, not audited results for a named site — your own baseline sets the real numbers
The night baseload tells the truth
When the site is quiet, consumption should fall — a cold store never goes fully quiet, but the shape of the night tells us how much is real refrigeration load and how much is plant running when it does not need to
What the meters tell us
Night and weekend baseload
The most revealing single test: what runs when nothing should
Peak demand
Which loads create the peak, set against your tariff windows
Power factor
Reactive power and where correction is, or is not, working
Harmonics and imbalance
Phase imbalance and distortion that heat motors and cables
Compressor run and starts
Run-hours and starts per hour read from the current signature of each machine
How it is installed
-
01
Scope
We agree which feeders matter — typically the incomer, each compressor, condenser fans and evaporator groups
-
02
Clamp on
Split-core current sensors go on live cables with your electrician present — no shutdown
-
03
Log
At least two weeks, so weekdays, weekends and a weather change are all captured
-
04
Report
A load map, the baseline and a list of what is avoidable
What you receive
- A load map showing which asset consumes what, and when
- Night and weekend baseload finding, with the avoidable share
- Peak-demand analysis against your tariff windows
- Live dashboard access on phone and desktop
- A written baseline that every later saving is measured against
From a meter on the wall to a saving you can defend
-
01
Meter
Clamp-on meters on the incomer and the big loads — no shutdown, no rewiring
Output Load profile and a baseline
-
02
Survey
A radiometric thermal camera finds hot connections, cold-line losses and leaking envelope
Output Ranked findings with images
-
03
Tune
Setpoints, sequencing, defrost and fan control corrected one change at a time
Output Lower runtime, fewer starts
-
04
Verify
The same meters run again — savings are measured against the baseline and normalised
Output A saving figure you can defend
Questions we hear first
Is it safe to clamp onto live cables?
Split-core clamps are non-invasive and do not break the circuit — work follows your site permit-to-work rules, with your electrician or ours present, and nothing is left exposed
Can I keep the meters afterwards?
Yes — under Continuous Monitoring the meters stay and the dashboard keeps running — otherwise we remove them after the logging period
Do you need access to our building system?
No — the meters are independent and report over their own connection — we only need power outlets and safe access to the panels
Why two weeks and not two days?
A cold store’s load changes with weekday throughput, weekend quiet and the weather — two days can mislead — two weeks gives a baseline that stands up
Book a free assessment
Find out what your plant is wasting
One call of about twenty minutes — we work out whether there is enough on the table to justify a site visit, and tell you plainly if there is not
- Free first assessment, no obligation
- NDA before the visit if you want one
- We sell no equipment, so findings are findings
