Energy efficiency is at the heart of the economic and environmental challenges facing our societies
Whether it involves an industrial company, the public sector or a private individual, identifying energy losses and controlling the consumption of installations, buildings and production equipment are essential for economic performance.
Any on-site energy performance project starts by measuring energy consumption. With nearly 130 years’ expertise in electrical measurement, Chauvin Arnoux maintains its commitment to energy performance in industry and across society, developing ranges of specially-designed instruments. Most of the instruments developed in Chauvin Arnoux’s R&D departments follow a common trend as they strive to store ever more data covering an ever longer recording period, while also acquiring near-instantaneous data and calculations by means of software. The new CA 8345 Qualistar Class A is dedicated to the inspection and maintenance of industrial and tertiary installations. It offers a snapshot of the electrical network's main quality parameters in compliance with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Edition 03, which is essential information when you need to choose corrective solutions.
Aware of the future issues for controlling the use of polluting energy sources, the Chauvin Arnoux Group and its subsidiaries, particularly Pyrocontrole, are incorporating this strategy in their instrument development work.
In the automotive sector, with the 2035 deadline for the prohibition of new petrol and diesel vehicles, Chauvin Arnoux has launched an electric vehicle charging station tester, the CA 6651, which has been so successful that no new orders can be taken before the end of August. The Chauvin Arnoux Group's temperature measurement subsidiary, Pyrocontrole, is meanwhile focusing its drive for growth on the Hydrogen sector and the new range of Thyritop power controllers, known as the "superheroes of decarbonization".

Energy efficiency – or how to optimize your energy consumption
When we talk about energy efficiency, there are multiple objectives: making sure that energy is used intelligently, cutting energy bills or reducing your environmental footprint.
To achieve the goal of energy efficiency, you need to identify all the parameters influencing consumption. These parameters may be internal, like the operation of the processes, the period of use, etc., or external, such as climate factors or the environment.
This phase is a prerequisite for identifying abnormal consumption or process drift and for setting up performance indicators. Extensive regulations for industry (ISO5001, CEE, etc.) and the tertiary sector (RT2012, RE3020, HQE, EN15232, etc.) help all the actors to complete their energy efficiency projects successfully.
Before launching any energy metering project, you have to ask the following questions: What should be measured? Where should we measure? How should we measure?
A global energy efficiency project means measuring different energy sources: electricity, gas, hydraulic energy. In such an energy efficiency approach, Chauvin Arnoux Energy covers everything involving electrical measurement.
Our solutions help with the implementation of a measurement plan involving single and multiple-feeder meters. From single-phase networks to high-power three-phase grids, equipped with a simple pulse output or with a digital communication output, our meters meet all your needs.
Chauvin Arnoux Energy proposes a solution which is particularly suitable, both practically and economically, for projects involving the installation of multiple electricity meters. Thanks to our Ulys MCM meters for measuring multiple feeders, you can instrument a large number of measurement points and meter up to 18 three-phase feeders or 54 single-phase feeders quickly and easily, in a very small space.
Once the parameter supervision system is in place, you still need to take the right measurements to improve your energy efficiency.
Contact us to implement your metering plan and adopt an energy efficiency approach.

Expert Focus – Hydrogen "heralds the start of a new era"
Pyrocontrole, part of the Chauvin Arnoux Group, has been developing its solutions and expertise for nearly 130 years. Today, for its first edition, "Expert Focus" interviews Bruno Burioni, Hydrogen Key Accounts Manager at Pyrocontrole.
Pyrocontrole, part of the Chauvin Arnoux Group, has been developing its solutions and expertise for nearly 130 years. Today, for its first edition, "Expert Focus" interviews Bruno Burioni, Hydrogen Key Accounts Manager at Pyrocontrole, about the evolution of the Hydrogen value chain in 2022. I can confirm that their awareness of climate issues runs particularly deep!
- Why choose hydrogen?
We have been manufacturing temperature sensors for harsh environments in all types of industries for more than 70 years. We handle applications involving both gases and fluids, which may be corrosive. We work in hazardous areas with ATEX certification and SIL2 safety levels. It was therefore clear to us that we had a role to play in the hydrogen value chain, from production to usage and including transport and storage. We turned our attention to hydrogen because we have solutions suitable for that sector. The temperatures can range from -258°C for liquid hydrogen storage to +100°C, at high pressures, with a safe working pressure of 1,000 bar.
We have proven, safe technical solutions for measuring the temperature of hydrogen: that's why we have our place in this sector.
- In your opinion, is hydrogen the new oil?
According to Le Figaro Magazine: "For OPEC, oil demand will be driven by developing countries, whereas it will begin falling in the richer OECD countries in 2023. Worldwide, the growth in demand is expected to be significant for the first few years before gradually slowing until it reaches a near-plateau from 2035 onwards," so oil is far from finished .
But, yes, for the richer countries, hydrogen may be the new Eldorado and gradually replace fossil fuels, at least partially. As a reminder, we need to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 to avoid +1.5°C global warming. Hydrogen should help us to do this, but there are still a lot of technical issues to be settled in order to produce it, store it, transport it and distribute it. Hydrogen is a gas, so its temperature is a physical quantity which has to be controlled: Pyrocontrole can contribute considerable expertise in this field.
Much of the hydrogen used today is manufactured from fossil fuels, so the challenge is to produce it from renewable energy sources.
- Why is there such enthusiasm surrounding hydrogen and why now?
It's the start of a new era! As we only have the one planet, we have to leave it in good health for future generations. By working on temperature measurements in applications linked to H2 and covering the whole hydrogen value chain, Pyrocontrole is contributing to this effort. It's gratifying and I admit that I'm enjoying developing this market and discussing the issues encountered with the various actors – particularly when the subject is temperature measurement, of course.
- Will the prohibition of internal combustion engines in 2035 give Pyrocontrole a boost?
On June 8th, 2022, the European Parliament voted to prohibit the sale of new vehicles with petrol or diesel engines. This means that cars will have to be driven by an electric motor powered either by batteries or by fuel cells running on hydrogen. Work is also under way to enable internal combustion engines to run on hydrogen so that our current vehicles can be converted to use H2 as fuel.
A major effort will be needed to provide the various countries with coverage by H2 refuelling stations.
Pyrocontrole is helping certain H2 distributors to reduce and optimizing vehicle recharging times through improved temperature control of the H2 in the dispenser. In this context, Pyrocontrole could well see a boost to its sales in this sector, to use your term.
- Which project in the hydrogen sector has surprised you most?
What surprises me the most is the way hydrogen has imposed itself as the energy source of the future. In just a few months, projects have been developed and funded, companies have been founded, research projects are being brought back out of the filing cabinet, specialized training cycles have been set up and technical issues have been resolved... As I'm an optimist, I tell myself all this has arrived just in time to help us deal with global warming.
One project which surprises and inspires me is the H2 scooter with a removable H2 cartridge: you can keep some in reserve and it's easy to change, so there's no risk of running out. I find the idea original and it should help to cut noise and pollution in our cities.
- At what level in the hydrogen value chain does Pyrocontrole get involved?
H2 is a gas and, as for all gases, temperature is a crucial parameter which must be controlled art all stages of the value chain. We are involved in the H2 production stage, whatever the process used, the transport stage (truck, boat, and soon by hydrogen pipelines), the storage of pressurized or liquid gas, and during use for the dispenser stations, fuel cells, electrical generator sets and mobility (Air/Sea/Land).
- What are the upcoming events where we can meet Pyrocontrole?
I will be at the 9th Regional Hydrogen Days in Rouen, from July 5th to 7th 2022, and we will have a stand at the HyVolution trade show at Paris Porte de Versailles on February 2nd and 3rd, 2023.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you want to discuss your hydrogen projects.
