Armstrong Fluid Technology has introduced new versions of the popular Astro 2 Hot Water Recirculation (HWR) pumps. A hot water recirculation system can save a typical family over 12,000 gallons of water per year by eliminating the waste of water that occurs when occupants open a hot water faucet and have to wait for hot water to reach the fixture.
Astro 2 HWR circulators are suitable for use in a 3-pipe installation with a dedicated return. The Astro Express 2 System includes the innovative Astro Express LF Valve and is designed for use in a standard residential 2-pipe installation.

Facilities managers with responsibility for air conditioned buildings often ask how they can improve energy efficiency and drive down utility bills. Typically, access to information is not the problem. The latest BMS technology provides sophisticated data collection and display, with the ability to manipulate data to create statistical reports. The difficulty is how to take the next step - tackling the environmental performance of the building with practical measures (that do not require complete replacement of existing HVAC plant).

Manufacturers and Service Providers Offer a Variety of Products and Strategies
HVAC SYSTEMS CAN USE AS MUCH AS 40% OF A BUILDING’S ENERGY, says the utility company Pacific Gas & Electric. “When properly designed, implemented, and operated, these systems ensure the comfort of the people in the facility in addition to ensuring the quality and financial viability of the processes and products produced. However, while simple in concept, most air handling systems are dynamically complex and highly interactive. A disturbance in one element can ripple out and affect the stability and viability of the entire system and the utility systems serving the air handling unit. In some cases, these issues manifest themselves in a manner that demands correction; tenants complain, product quality becomes substandard, or in extreme cases, the area serves becomes un-inhabitable.

In hydronic heating and cooling systems, circulator pumps move water or refrigerant throughout a closed-loop system in order to transfer energy from the source to the point of need. While older circulator pumps utilized single-speed motors and were largely inefficient, advances in motor technology, controls, and pump design have transformed the market and ushered in a new era of highly efficient products that feature variable-speed motors, easy installation and setup, remote connectivity, and more.

Datacenters present the HVAC system designer with a number of challenges. Cooling loads are significantly higher than other commercial buildings, and there are specific demands relating to the sizing of equipment and the shorter-than-average upgrade cycle. Most importantly, system designers face a raft of regulatory guidelines around the energy efficiency performance of data centres, and the systems they specify are scrutinised closely throughout their lifecycles. So how do these challenges impact on design strategy?
