Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced the introduction of the new IPC 9521 Integrated Plant Control system designed to help building owners achieve greater energy efficiency in chiller plant systems. Featuring the latest advances in control technology, the IPC 9521 uses an innovative base-level platform that can be easily upgraded as installation requirements evolve.

Key features that can help make a substantial difference to the performance and financial viability of HVAC designs and installations include:

  • Resident sensorless pump feedback and Parallel Sensorless pump staging for variable primary systems minimizes installation costs and maximizes pump energy efficiency
  • Embedded sequences for water cooled variable-primary configuration, all-variable chiller plant automation, and optimization
  • Factory-configured for easy activation of the optional Armstrong ECO*Pulse HVAC health management and diagnostics system

In related news, in what is thought to be an industry first, Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced a Savings Guarantee Program for its Chiller Plant Optimization Systems (IPC 11550 and Opti-VisorTM).

The essence of the offer is that Armstrong will guarantee the savings on its plant optimization programs for a period of one year following the commissioning.  Should there be a shortfall in savings in the first year, Armstrong will reimburse the customer for 3 times the difference.
 
“We are so confident that our chiller plant optimization systems will help our customers save on energy costs that we are willing to provide a written guarantee,” said Mark Gallagher, Program Manager, Building Services. “Some of our Chiller Plant optimization installations are saving building managers as much as 50% on their chilled water costs.”
