Armstrong Fluid Technology has launched an innovative modular energy transfer system, enhanced by its Envelope platform, aiming to refine the selection and functioning of HVAC systems. The new System Envelope - Energy Transfer Station (SE-ETS) is available in a range from 56 to 840 tons of heat load, offering a modular, packaged design that minimizes lead times, provides cost-efficiency, and decreases pump energy consumption by up to 50%.
Performance Optimization
The optimization process begins at the selection phase with extensive performance maps that allow for precise selection based on specific needs such as temperature, redundancy, flow, and pressure. This system uses patented predictive algorithms for effective heat transfer control, along with Sensorless pumping and Envelope technology to ensure reliable and efficient performance. The system’s integrated controls facilitate demand-based operations and smooth integration with building automation systems (BAS).
Noteworthy Features
The system comes with several notable features. It is fully assembled and tested in the factory, which ensures a complete packaged solution ready upon delivery. The modules can be configured in various arrangements within the mechanical room to accommodate the available space. During periods of low demand, an innovative fouling detection capability initiates automatic self-cleaning for continuous operation. The modular design of the system allows units to be delivered as separate modules that fit through standard mechanical room doorways, simplifying on-site installation and connection.
Brent Ross, Global Director of Product Management, commented on the launch of this new solution, stating, “These new energy transfer stations will change the way HVAC systems are sized, selected, and operated, resulting in significant savings. Everyone involved in a project, including contractors, engineers, developers, and maintenance professionals, will benefit from the design innovations.”
