Armstrong Fluid Technology has introduced an expanded range of Design Envelope Permanent Magnet pumps that are engineered to deliver 35-65% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional integrated pumps with induction motors.
Available in mid-February with motors up to 60hp, these Design Envelope Permanent Magnet operate at NEMA Ultra-Premium efficiency levels that exceed the targets set by the US Department of Energy and the NRCan Office of Energy Efficiency.
Design Envelope Fire pumps are designed, assembled, and tested to meet the code requirements of a Self-Regulating Variable Speed Fire Pump Unit, as described in NFPA 20 – 2019 edition. Design Envelope Fire pumps are factory-built, integrated fire pumps consisting of a Vertical In-Line pump, driver, and variable speed control unit. They’re configured to maintain a set pressure until the maximum power draw is reached, while modulating pump speed to control to meet limits on pressure or suction.
Design Envelope 6800 boosters are pre-assembled, compact systems. With Vertical Multi-stage pumps, these systems are energy-efficient and require minimal maintenance for reliable, long-term occupant comfort.
A domestic water pressure booster system is essential for buildings with inadequate supply pressure from the city or buildings served from storage tanks. A booster ensures potable water is available at appropriate pressures on every level of a building. Because flow demand in most buildings is highly variable, variable frequency drives and automatic controls are an excellent option to reduce the energy used to maintain constant pressure.
Anacostia is a commuter train station in Washington, D.C. on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (wmata) Metrorail Green Line. The station serves Metrorail and Metrobus passengers traveling to and from the Anacostia neighborhood in Southeast Washington.
Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced that its Design Envelope pumps are available with a three-day quick-ship delivery time.
Encompassing the most widely-used Armstrong pumps for commercial-scale applications, the delivery includes Vertical In-Line, End Suction and Tango models.
To help facilitate remote HVAC management during the COVID-19 pandemic,Armstronghas announced that it will extend until the end of 2020 the offer of free subscriptions for its cloud-based service, Pump Manager.
“The original offer of three free monthsof Pump Manager service to new customers was scheduled to expire in August but we recognize that there is still a need to maintain social distancing wherever possible,” said Tunji Asiwaju, Global Performance Management Services with Armstrong. “Pump Manager helps buildings operate at peak efficiency without the need for onsite monitoring.”
Armstrong’s Design Envelope technology is an innovation that enables cost savings and energy savings in HVAC systems.
Armstrong Fluid Technology has been selected to receive the TEA award for the Connectivity - Building Services and Facilities category. For several decades, Armstrong Fluid Technology has provided cost-effective solutions that elevate the fluid-flow manufacturing industry to a new level across the globe. Armstrong maintains seven manufacturing facilities located on four continents, and the company currently employs more than a thousand people worldwide.
As remote monitoring seems poised to gain popularity, the time is right for this data-rich technology
The growing use of digital twins as a key strategy in manufacturing and systems optimization has left many designers, installers, operators and building owners wondering about the technology and what benefits it might have for the modern built environment, and specifically HVAC systems.
