Manufacturer says Wi-Fi Connectivity Kits will be provided at no extra cost with all new orders of Design Envelope pumps where the Pump Manager subscription service is also purchased.
Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced that Wi-Fi Connectivity Kits will be provided at no extra cost with all new orders of Design Envelope pumps where the Pump Manager subscription service is also purchased.
An important district heating scheme in Sheffield, which generates heat and energy from waste wood, has come to fruition with the help of an integrated packaged pump solution from Armstrong Fluid Technology.
The pump solution incorporates six large Armstrong 4300 Series variable speed pumps with built-in inverters, integrated with Armstrong’s IPS 4000 pump controller, which optimises operation of all 6 pumps to minimise energy consumption.
Armstrong Fluid Technology announced that the company has moved to a newly expanded facility for European production and warehousing of circulator products.
This whitepaper presents a review of technical literature plus post-installation analysis of three types of HVAC systems: Variable refrigerant flow (VRF), traditional hydronics and hydronics integrated with Armstrong Design Envelope technology. A detailed comparison of the first installed cost and lifecycle operating cost of these technologies is established by reviewing the full product lifecycle of these technologies — paying particular attention to energy efficiency and consumption, design considerations and constraints, installation requirements and operational and/or occupant risk.
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.
The 11th annual HVR Awards took place on Thursday 15 October and, while the established industry event was unable to go ahead in its traditional format, the live stream served as an incredible celebration of the very best products, businesses and initiatives from across the heating and ventilating sector.
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.”
Located in downtown Toronto, the Delta hotel on Lower Simcoe Street, near the waterfront, is one of the largest and most luxurious in Canada. Sustainability is an important part of operations for the entire Delta organization, and the Delta is rated as one of the top sustainable hotels in Canada. But the hotel managers also maintain a careful focus on customer satisfaction and comfort and that has a direct effect on the HVAC system, as temperatures in the guest rooms and meeting spaces are maintained within a narrow band.
DESIGN CONDITIONS: “Proper pump operation at design conditions should be verified against the manufacturer’s published curve,” said Ben Needham, field applications engineer, Taco Comfort Solutions.
The argument can be made thatpumpsdon’t fail, they just function less efficiently. If the bearings are completely seized and refuse to turn, then the failure argument is valid — otherwise, the pump keeps on pumping in most cases. Poor design, like operating too far to the left or right on the pump curve, can cause problems, and misapplications can bring about premature failure, but the pump still pumps.
Designed to do their job without wavering, hydronic pumps do require maintenance to optimize their performance — even the maintenance-free ones. According to Ben Needham, field applications engineer, Taco Comfort Solutions, there are two general types of pump maintenance to consider as a technician — mechanical maintenance and pump assessment.
