The new COMPASS circulator helps contractors and wholesalers with easy selection, fast installation, and extremely broad performance capabilities for application to a wide variety of installations, the company said. The circulator features Design Envelope technology. The circulator also helps homeowners reduce energy consumption and operating costs. In “Auto” mode — one of eight operating modes available for selection — the circulator adjusts its 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 reduce energy usage even more. According to the manufacturer, the circulators are suited to applications requiring up to 20 gpm and 20 feet of pressure.

Customer Misconceptions Stem from Lack of Awareness, Fear of High Cost

While radiant heating has been around for a long time and is common in Europe, there are still many misconceptions swirling around these systems on this side of the pond. Some customers consider it a new and untested technology, while others categorize it as a luxury beyond what they can afford.

However, according to experts in this field, it’s time to bust these myths and introduce radiant heat to the masses.

Armstrong Fluid Technology launches a new control solution that improves the energy efficiency of chiller plants. Seamlessly interfacing with an existing building or chiller-plant automation system. the OPTl-VISOR controls the key components of a plant, providing the optimal operating settings for equipment, such as water-cooled variable-speed chillers, variable-flow cooling towers and variable-speed pumps on the chilled water and tower water circuits. By controlling the chiller plant settings to maximize system-wide efficiency, OPTI-VISOR will generate valuable energy savings even when applied to recently installed equipment. Armstrong estimates an energy savings of 15% to 30% can be expected from a typical installation on an existing all-variable-speed chiller plant.
