Design Envelope Technology

Industry Leading Capabilities

Armstrong has reinvented and redesigned our pumping solutions to include connectivity and performance management services. Design Envelope solutions provide optimal lifetime efficiency and lowest cost. No other pumping solution offers the same expanded performance range, one touch commissioning, Sensorless speed control, flow monitoring accuracy and operating notifications.

Connectivity

Optimum Lifetime Performance

Design Envelope solutions offer up to 70% energy savings compared to standard industry pumps. 

A breakdown of incremental and cumulative savings looks like this:

In multi-pump installations, Armstrong's patented Parallel Sensorless Pump Control saves up to 30% more energy over industry-standard pump staging methodologies. Now, Armstrong's Intelligent Motor Technology, certified to IE5 standards and available on 1 to 10 hp models, delivers 3 – 12 % additional motor efficiency.

This adds up to pumping efficiency that is simply unmatched anywhere in the industry.

Control Capabilities

With the new advanced controller, offering extended intelligence and control options, Armstrong has advanced pumping technology well beyond the current standard. Control packages currently available with design envelope technology include:

Optimum life-time building performance

Pump Manager is a performance management service to help operators maintain optimized long-term efficiency. 

Unmatched efficiency

• In the 1-10 HP range Design Envelope uses a completely new, fully-integrated design, where every element is optimized for overall performance. The new Armstrong iECMTM motor with integrated controls, delivers IE5 levels of efficiency.
• Tango pumps offer the pinnacle of energy performance and lifetime value with on-board Parallel Sensorless Pump ControlTM , enabling a completely new approach to system and component redundancy 

Optimized lifetime performance through real-time insight and action

• Our full line of pump offerings, from 1 hp to 1250 HP, are all delivered with both wireless and wired connectivity, providing both on-site access to real-time performance and pump conditions as well as connectivity to support Pump Manager, an optional performance management monitoring and reporting service
• Real-time pump performance monitoring capability supports extended energy performance of each pump as well as notifications and recommendations based on pump conditions
• industry studies suggest that “as commissioned” HVAC performance can be extended through a program of monitoring and tuning, resulting in energy savings of 10 to 15%

No other pumping solution offers comparable features for automation, self-diagnosis, reporting and commissioning.
