Armstrong In The Media

Crown Realty Partners: Pearson Corporate Center is a 300,000 square foot complex in Toronto consisting of two eight-storey office towers joined together by a central atrium. In 2018 the building owners asked Armstrong to upgrade the original pumps to new Design Envelope pumps.  

Bernardin Manor is an assisted living facility in Chicago. Armstrong approached the building managers with a proposal to upgrade existing constant speed pumps with new Design Envelope Tango pumps. 

Texas Christian University (TCU) is a private university in Fort Worth, Texas. Established in 1873, TCU now enrolls over 10,000 students per year. Athletics is a key focus for the university, so the TCU Horned Frogs compete in the Big 12 conference of the NCAA in most sports.

Armstrong Design Envelope pumps were selected to retrofit this 80,000 m² office and hotel complex. Because the hvac system is required 24/7 to support hotel operations, ease of installation and minimal labour were important considerations. Armstrong upgraded the existing equipment with 10 Design Envelope 4300 pumps and an IPC 9521 controller.

The Armstrong Design Envelope 4300 Vertical In-Line (VIL) pump offers unmatched performance flexibility and cost efficiencies, plus industry-leading control and connectivity capabilities.

The Armstrong ipc 11550 controller reduces the energy consumption of Central Chilled Water Plants by managing component output for optimal system-wide efficiency. eco*pulse™ is an HVAC Performance Management service for improving and maintaining chilled water plant efficiency. 

Armstrong recently completed a project in the United Kingdom, retrofitting a building belonging to National Grid.

Blackburn Meadows, Sheffield

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 optimizes the operation of all 6 pumps to minimize energy consumption.

Inox, a leader in India’s Cinema exhibition industry, started a journey of energy conservation and carbon footprint reduction in its Laserplex theaters. Armstrong helped inox replace four constant-speed pumps with three Design Envelope pumps and changed the system to use primary-variable control. 

Our most recent video is an explanation of how flow levels inform HVAC optimization.

Many of today’s buildings rely on HVAC systems that were oversized on installation to address uncertainty in cooling and heating loads. Unfortunately, many building occupants still experience discomfort, even with the extra capacity in HVAC systems. To make matters worse, most HVAC systems operate inefficiently and this poor performance goes unnoticed by building owners and operators. Without automated maintenance alerts, and regular recommissioning, most buildings will experience a drift in HVAC performance efficiency of 10-30% in just 2 years.
