Pump Cavitation

Cavitation is a condition that can affect any fluid flow system. Despite it being an ever-present threat, it is not well understood. In the simplest possible terms, cavitation involves the formation of water vapor bubbles that damage metal components when they collapse back to the liquid phase. Here are some common questions and answers that relate to cavitation. To help operators diagnose cavitation remotely, Armstrong offers Pump Manager, a cloud-based subscription service that tracks performance and provides notifications on any issues.

It’s important for HVAC system designers to understand that the relationship between pump costs and pump size is not a simple straight line. As pump sizes increase, the costs for the equipment, related components and installation increase faster. The result is that a pumping system that serves an HVAC load using two small pumps is less expensive than buying and installing one large pump.

The Taiwan Semicon Manufacturing Company is one of Armstrong’s major clients in Asia Pacific

The emergence of smart buildings was a very welcome development in the sector as it trimmed the simple tasks, simplified communications and created a livelier and more productive office environment.

“As technology comes into play in a workplace, people become more efficient, and time is freed up for more engaging experiences,” said Jenny Soo, Regional Head of Workplace Experience at JLL Asia Pacific in her article posted on the JLL web site. “A smart building and thoughtful workplace experience create an environment that keeps people happy and builds a sense of belonging that can contribute to staff retention.”

Motor & Variable Speed Controller Technology

Over the last 150 years, development of the electric motor has gone in fits and starts. Initially, all electric motors used direct current (DC). But with the advent of alternating current (AC) and amid the “battle of the currents” between industrial development giants George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla unveiled
his induction motor, a new design that converted the power of alternating electrical current into rotational torque.

It was a game changer. As well as helping Westinghouse win the battle of the currents, it was relatively easy to make, efficient and, crucially, needed no slip rings or brushes to transmit electrical current to the shaft. These parts were the Achilles’ heel of the DC and slip-ring type AC motor, requiring regular maintenance to replace them as they wore out.
