In 2018, the HVAC system at a popular holiday resort suffered a series of failures and leaks, resulting in frequent downtime. An initial review determined that the existing pumps were the cause and had to be replaced. The review also noted that the pumps were oversized, which affected system efficiency. With the resort occupancy rates near 95% for most of the year, HVAC performance and reliability are crucial, so managers decided to go ahead with an upgrade.

CAD (computer-aided design) drawings are digital files that house 3D & 2D models of physical objects. CAD files can include information such as geometric data, manufacturing data, material properties, and other data. CAD files are ‘to-scale’, meaning designers are able to create drawings in real-world dimensions.

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.

As facility managers, contractors and service professionals gain experience working with remote performance tracking capabilities for intelligent pumps, the HVAC industry is learning how valuable this type of subscription service can be. It seems that many customers originally agreed to the purchase of a performance tracking subscription service on the assumption that it would serve only as a security blanket, but would be mostly unnecessary. Based on the testimonial stories provided by customers describing service, maintenance and performance management scenarios, the subscription service has proven its value many times over. Examples detailing how remote performance tracking prevented a serious negative outcome, organized into categories, are presented below.
