NOVELTIES

Hot Water Mixture Central System for Industrial and Penal Settlement Cloakrooms
CELITE S/A counted on AGÊNCIA ENERGIA advisory to prepare the hydraulic distribution of hot water for their central cloakrooms, where approximately 400 employees use showers everyday. It was used a modern central mixture system, thus preventing mixing water for each worker. For generation of hot water at the cloakrooms of CELITE S/A, it was used a heating system on natural gas with generation capability of 20,000 liters per day. Our expectation was confirmed: the employees turned to have a more comfortable
shower, and it is CELITE S/A's intention to turn off their burdensome vapor boiler, which is fueled with BFF oil.
This system was used successfully at the premises of ETELBRAS cloackrooms (ETELBRAS - Industry of Telecommunication Equipment).
At the Minors Detention Center, located in the city of Sete Lagoas, MG, a modern water mixture system was successfully implanted with technical advisory of AGÊNCIA ENERGIA. The system allows the water to reach the cells in the right temperature for bath. No mixing is required by the prisoners.
The hot water used at the Minors Detention Center is generated by a Solar Heating System.

Recovering Energy
Recovery of Heat from Air Conditioning for pre-heating of Solar Heating Systems AGÊNCIA ENERGIA is very pleased to contribute with their knowledge of engineering for generation of hot water and its distribution unto the points of consumption of the LIFECENTER complex. The Apart-hotel, the clinic rooms and the swimming pool counted on systems of heat recovery from the central air conditioning, interconnected to solar heaters for generation of clean and inexpensive hot water in a rational way.

PLUG-SOL - Total control of the Solar Heating System Electronic Follow-up of the Solar Heating System AGÊNCIA ENERGIA has invested in an electronic monitoring system which is capable to read, store and make graphs of important parameters of a functioning solar heating system. For instance, important conclusions and optimizations were made at installation of the solar heating system of the
Nucleus Gym swimming pool, located at Pampulha, in the city of Belo Horizonte.

Know-how on Swimming Pools
A New Chapter in the Story of Swimming Pool Heating is Started - Minas Tênis Club - Unit II
AGÊNCIA ENERGIA has been monitoring, since July 1999, the temperature of four semi-Olympic swimming pools at the MINAS TENIS CLUB, in Belo Horizonte, MG. In the first month, the reading was made every minute and the average of the latest ten minutes read was recorded. The information raised served as basis for optimization of the present swimming pool heating system.

Water Heating for all
Solar Heating for Low Income Population Homes Agência Energia offers a new service designed to attend Institutions and companies that wish to apply a solar heater on low cost homes.
Based on participation in the major projects of this nature developed in Brazil, Agência Energia has developed a package of services to allow feasibility, preparation of enterprises to receive the solar heaters, supervision of installation and results analysis.

Success on one more Audit for maintenance of the ISO 9001 Certificate.
For the eighth time Agência Energia was successful on an audit for maintenance of its Quality Certificate. It is said that maintaining the
certificate is still harder than conquering it. As from 2001 we have been investing in a management system to render to our clients quality services as attested by ISO.
