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.

Armstrong develops chiller plant automation system service plan

Posted by Armstrong Fluid Technology on Feb 5, 2014 3:34:35 PM

As seen on Engineered Systems - February 5, 2014

Armstrong Fluid Technology has introduced its Factory Service Plan for IPC chiller plant automation systems.

According to the company, as products have become increasingly intelligent incorporating embedded controls, the skillset required to provide proper service becomes less generic and more dependent on factory-trained resources. Key aspects of the Factory Service Plan include: inspection and review of key components, assessment of operation conditions, control system tuning, software upgrades as they are released, back-up and secure storage of parameters and settings, and annual training for the building operators.

Armstrong Fluid Technology has unveiled an innovative pump selection software program that is completely intuitive, easy-to-use, highly visual, and provides an excellent user experience on multiple devices and platforms. Based on extensive Voice-of-the-Customer research, ADEPT makes it easy for users to select a wide range of equipment as well as organize schedules, and source submittals, and specifications.

Intuitive screen designs allow users to view line drawings, multi-curves, photos, voltage, motor size, inlets, outlets, accessories, seal operating limits, seal options, construction options and more than a dozen motor options.  ADEPT then lists the pumps that meet the users’ specific criteria, as well as the key characteristics of each selection – such as ‘efficiency at average load’, ‘operating costs’ and ‘motor size’.

VIL pumps and design envelope technology reduce energy use and cool Toronto’s downtown.

By Brent Ross, Armstrong Fluid Technology

Deep lake water cooling (DLWC) is a groundbreaking cooling system that provides an alternative to conventional air conditioning. The system uses cold water from Lake Ontario to cool buildings in Toronto’s downtown core. The DLWC system has enough capacity to cool 3 million square meters (32 million square feet) of building space and is the largest renewable, lake-source cooling system of its kind in North America.
