Manufacturers and Service Providers Offer a Variety of Products and Strategies
HVAC SYSTEMS CAN USE AS MUCH AS 40% OF A BUILDING’S ENERGY, says the utility company Pacific Gas & Electric. “When properly designed, implemented, and operated, these systems ensure the comfort of the people in the facility in addition to ensuring the quality and financial viability of the processes and products produced. However, while simple in concept, most air handling systems are dynamically complex and highly interactive. A disturbance in one element can ripple out and affect the stability and viability of the entire system and the utility systems serving the air handling unit. In some cases, these issues manifest themselves in a manner that demands correction; tenants complain, product quality becomes substandard, or in extreme cases, the area serves becomes un-inhabitable.

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.
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.
Armstrong's desire for sustainable profitability has encouraged it to offer tailored solutions for individual customer needs
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - December 1, 2014 - Based on its recent analysis of the fluid technology market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Armstrong Fluid Technology with the 2014 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Leadership.

A new pump controller has been launched by Armstrong Fluid Technology.
Developers of the IPS 4000 say pump performance will be improved while it presents opportunities for energy savings in both new build projects and refurbishments as capacity is automatically matched with changing building demand.
Designed to control multiple secondary pumps for HVAC systems in both heating and cooling applications, the IPS 4000 can control up to six variable speed pumps in parallel or standby configurations covering up to 12 zones.
