Armstrong
has launched a series of pre-designed packaged pump solutions that
offer specifiers lowest first installed cost, reduced footprint and
the opportunity for outstanding energy efficiency performance.
Pumps, pipework, controls and motive power are fully-integrated and
the packages are manufactured off-site, for fast, efficient
installation.
The traditional approach to purchasing a pumping system is to
procure pumps, pipework and controls separately, and build the
system on site. As a leading supplier of off-site manufactured
packaged plant and integrated plantrooms, Armstrong is extremely
experienced in offering a more effective option. The new 8000 Series
of Fully Integrated Pumping Modules however takes this a step
further.
The new 8000 Series are complete fluid management systems,
pre-designed and pre-assembled by Armstrong, that can be configured
to suit the widest range of applications, with a choice of four
levels of control. Costs involved in designing the system are
removed, and as the pump solutions are designed by Armstrong (a
world-leading manufacturer of HVAC equipment with almost 80 years
experience in pump design) they offer the best possible integration
of pumps with controls technology for exceptional performance.
In addition, as the pump package is fully assembled and tested
before it leaves Armstrong’s factory, many potential project risks
are eliminated. Poor system integration during installation is
avoided, and the pump solution can be manufactured concurrently with
other parts of the construction or refurbishment project to reduce
the schedule significantly, at the same time as avoiding delays or
bottle-necks that might occur on-site. These factors combine to
offer specifiers a high-performance product solution, at the lowest
first installed cost, with reduced risk and shorter installation
times.
Suitable for the full range of applications
The four options encompass the widest range of requirements – from
pump-only to fully controlled pumping systems.
8001 Series FMS (Fluid Management System) - the most basic option –
is a traditional-style fixed speed packaged pump set without
controls or variable speed drives.
8002 Series IVS (Intelligent Variable Speed) is a variable speed
packaged pump set. It incorporates Armstrong’s extremely popular IVS
pumps with motor mounted inverters that are capable of being
controlled to meet demand.
8003 Series IVS (Intelligent Variable Speed Sensorless) also
incorporates Armstrong IVS variable speed pumps with motor mounted
inverters. It utilises sensorless control, reducing the requirement
for sensors in the systems, and automatically matches the pump speed
to the building load without BMS control. This option is
particularly suited to duty/standby applications (up to 90kW) and
includes a set mounted control panel that shares the load of the
duty pump and relays alarms to the BMS. It is suitable for single
zone control.
8004 Series IPS (Integrated Pumping System) is capable of
controlling up to 18 zones and includes Armstrong’s set mounted IPS
(Integrated Pumping System) which is fully wired and
pre-commissioned to the pumps within the set. The system is capable
of operating outside of BMS control and can communicate to the BMS
via Modbus as standard. Lonworks, BACnet and other protocols are
also available on request.
Control
The 8000 range is based on the pump manufacturer determining how the
pumps are controlled. This is accepted best practice for energy
efficiency, equipment life, and simplicity of installation and
commissioning, further reducing risk and carbon emissions.
Accountability
Finally, an important benefit of the 8000 Series is that it provides
a single source of responsibility for the entire process of design,
procurement, supply, installation, commissioning, service and
maintenance. In addition to being a technically-superior approach to
equipment supply, this offers significant commercial advantages by
offering a shorter, simplified and more robust supply chain for any
project.
Space saving
The 8000 Series harness the space-saving advantages of Armstrong
vertical in-line pumps, Suction Guides and Flo-Trex valves, to
reduce plant room footprint. Provision of 3D and 2D drawings upon
quotation gives designers the opportunity to optimise the available
space and to accurately lay out the plant room in the early stages
of a project for smoother installation.
