Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used by a system. It is defined as the ratio of real power (measured in kilowatts, kW) to apparent power (measured in kilovolt-amperes, kVA). Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Pumps are essential components in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, playing a crucial role in maintaining optimal temperature levels and ensuring efficient operation. These pumps are responsible for circulating the system fluid, facilitating the transfer of heat and enabling the cooling process. By continuously moving the fluid, pumps help transfer heat from the indoor environment to the outside, thereby maintaining comfortable temperatures indoors.

With just minutes left in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA finals, the Toronto Raptors drained a 16-foot jumper to pull ahead by six points. Hardly a soul was sitting down or silent as fans cheered the team toward Canada’s first basketball championship.
But the sellout crowd also posed a challenge. The National Basketball Association requires arenas to be chilled to between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. And, left unchecked, the arena’s 20,144 attendees were likely to produce a sweltering mess that would set off alarms at league headquarters.

At Datacenter Dynamics Converged Armstrong Fluid Technology will be featuring its portfolio of ultra-efficient products and systems for datacentre cooling and air conditioning. All solutions harness the benefits of Hartman LOOPTM digital relational control technology which is capable of treating the entire system ‘holistically’, rather than as individual sub-systems. This provides a number of environmental benefits. Controlled ‘holistically’, rather than as three independent control loops, chilled water system components are operated along their Natural Curve or “sweet points” for optimal energy consumption.
