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:
Armstrong Fluid Technology introduces a circulator featuring Design Envelope technology. The COMPASS circulator helps contractors and wholesalers with easy selection, fast installation and broad performance capabilities for a wide variety of installations. It also helps homeowners reduce energy consumption and operating costs. In auto mode (one of eight operating modes), the circulator adjusts operating speed to match HVAC demand at any given moment. Over time, the circulator learns a system’s patterns of demand and appropriately adjusts output to further reduce energy usage.
Como ingenieros, utilizamos cálculos para lograr determinar que bomba nos conviene de acuerdo a nuestro proyecto y cual es la mejor para minimizar el desperdicio de energía. En esta nota analizaremos la formula para conocer el “Life Cycle Cost” (LCC) o mejor conocido por nosotros como “CCV – Costo del Ciclo de Vida” y realizaremos un comparativo entre 2 bombas de agua helada marca Armstrong.
Armstrong Fluid Technology has launched its 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 three times the difference.
Armstrong launched its Parallel Sensorless technology, with the introduction of the new Parallel sensorless pump controller. The Parallel sensorless pump controller is an innovative, add-on control device that coordinates the output of multiple pumping units in a parallel configuration to achieve significant energy savings. armstrongpumps.com
Armstrong Fluid Technology's PSPC is designed to provide intelligent orchestration of the full pump array using the combined pump performance map. To do so, PSPC deploys a fundamentally different pump staging concept called "best efficiency staging," which constantly evaluates the optimal number of operating pumps and their ideal speeds against the pressure and flow requirements of the system. This allows the operator to control overall pumping efficiency across a parallel pumping configuration at any given time.
Andrew Harrop on how new approaches to the design of heating systems are making it easier for schools save energy and money
Replacing ageing school boiler plant can be daunting. Heating systems can only feasibly be replaced when the site does not require heating or a continuous water supply. In addition, projects often have to be squeezed into the summer vacation to avoid traffic, disruption and the presence of contractors during term-time. This small window of opportunity can create inconvenience and cost. As summer is the busiest time for the building industry it can be difficult to guarantee availability of contractors for the designated weeks. Many independent schools have additional challenges relating to the architectural heritage of their school buildings. Access can be problematic and something as basic as the size of doorways can present problems when removing the old boiler or positioning its replacement.
Toronto – The Ontario Chapter of the Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) — one of three EASA chapters in Canada, held its 2015 annual general meeting in Toronto in January, with exhibitors and attendees coming from across Canada and the US.
The event includes a tabletop trade show featuring exhibitors who service the motor repair and sales industry.
This year’s technical course was presented at the Armstrong Fluid Technology pump facility, where attendees had the chance to tour the plant, discuss pumps and their applications, and attend a half-day seminar on rotor balancing.
Armstrong Fluid Technology announces its enhanced HSC Firepak, a completely integrated fire pump solution that delivers a set of advantages to both designers and contractors.
Featuring a compact design for fast and easy installation, Armstrong’s “Plug and Leave” design provides fire safety professionals with a complete fire pump solution that offers:
The IPC 9521 Integrated Plant Control system is designed to help building owners achieve energy efficiency in chiller plant systems and uses a base-level platform that can be easily upgraded as installation requirements evolve.
