Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced a new version of its Design Envelope pump to serve light-duty installations where the available power is single phase.
“Many light-commercial and residential buildings use single-phase power and some mechanical rooms ‘step down’ three-phase power to make single-phase power available,” said David Lee, Program Manager, Product Development, Armstrong Fluid Technology. “These new pumps provide a practical and economical solution for those installations.”
Features of Design Envelope pumps
The new Design Envelope pumps are available for use with single-phase power (200-230V) from 1/3 to 2hp and, for increased reliability, are built to a design standard carried over from commercial pumps. In addition, because the mechanical room piping for light-duty fluid-flow applications is often installed vertically, these new single-phase pumps can be installed and operated in vertical piping.
As with all Design Envelope pumps, the technology is built around a demand-based intelligent control solution that:
- Models equipment and system behavior
- Monitors actual system conditions
- Dynamically adjusts equipment operation to match system demand
- Is designed to provide the highest energy efficiency and lowest installed and operating costs.
