To help facilitate remote HVAC management during the COVID-19 pandemic, Armstrong has 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 months of 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.”

Kevin Laidler – Sales Director, Middle East and Africa, Armstrong Fluid Technology, discusses how Digital technology is key to addressing regional challenges in the HVAC industry to improve life cycle costing. 

Energy plays a crucial role in our daily lives, and in our economy. More than just a basic human necessity, energy is a strong indicator of social and economic development. As our world becomes more and more urbanised, we are witnessing a rapid increase in the global demand for energy, with predictions for growth of up to 55% over the next ten years.

The incorporation of zero carbon or renewable technologies in modern buildings is moving from the fringe into the mainstream. Many system designs now attempt to marry biomass or heat pumps or solar thermal with more conventional, low carbon technologies like gas fired condensing boilers as back-up. Unfortunately, a very high proportion of these designs fail to achieve the high operating efficiencies possible because the two technologies (low and zero carbon) have not been correctly integrated. It is just not sufficient to ‘bolt-on’ a zero carbon system to a condensing boiler system and expect improved efficiencies and reduced energy bills. Integration is much more than simple addition. It is a cohesive, co-ordinated and harmonious whole.

Variable speed is the new norm. Everything that functions in heating, ventilation and air conditioning requires a motor that moves air or water to transport heat, and the speed, the velocity, matters. Now that the power to adjust speed is accessible, we have options, we have range, we have Design Envelope, and specifically, the Compass circulator. 

Calling all, sustainability champions! Ready for a new digital solution that will shake up the HVAC world and help us all kick carbon to the curb? Say hello to Envelope, Armstrong’s brand-new digital platform designed to make buildings smarter, greener, and more efficient.

Mechanical Technologies, a pioneering provider of PHVAC and fluid-flow solutions, based in New York City, has reached an agreement to partner with Armstrong Fluid Technology as a manufacturer’s representative.

Too many choices. Too many iterations.

Conversations with practicing design engineers have revealed that the overarching process for selecting equipment often means making sizing decisions, selecting from numerous options. Because the design approach for an HVAC project is often iterative, design professionals may be required to select and reselect equipment three to four times.

Dissecting pump curves:

Does adding a VFD to a pump change the size and shape of the efficiency contours (or efficiency islands)?

Adding a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) can change the size and shape of the efficiency contours, but not because the pump itself changes — it's because you're now operating that same pump at multiple speeds, and each speed has its own set of pump and efficiency curves.
