Case study: Delta Hotel

Written by Armstrong Fluid Technology | Sep 29, 2023 1:53:07 PM

Delta Hotels Toronto is one of the largest, most luxurious hotels in Canada and is rated as one of the most sustainable. Delta commissioned an upgrade of one of their existing pumps to a new Design Envelope Tango. Energy savings post-installation have proven that the Tango pump was the right choice.

Savings from upgrading just one pump will be over $2200 per year. Total energy savings will be 22,000 kWh: A 40% efficiency improvement. 

Armstrong maps each individual pump’s hydraulic, motor and inverter variations at the factory to achieve exceptional accuracy throughout the flow range.
 
With this calibration, Armstrong Design Envelope pumps also serve as flow meters, providing reliable system 
flow data (+/- 5%). The testing ensures optimal performance efficiency at start-up, while Armstrong’s Pump Manager helps maintain and extend efficiency throughout the pump’s operating life.
