21. 15% 10% 15% 40% Key differences to Armstrong
Design Envelope Integrated Plant Control
Digital control algorithms that work from computer base equipment performance maps (not feedback control)
The ability to effectively operate the cooling tower in a variable water flow mode (not just fan speed)
Mechanical Equipment Manufacturer built and tested controller platform, fully interoperable with the BMS (not an island)

22. Intelligent pump solutions
Save Greater Than 30% Energy over best practice
Integrated assembly with controls, variable speed power supply, designated motor, and pump assembly
Load Limiting Logic eliminates the need for non-overloading motor and drive selection so connected kW ratings are lower
Internal performance map enable self responding control or feedback of actual flow and pressure head 22

23. Why would I want an intelligent pump?
Does a VFD save money? Need controls to save.
Self regulating – doesn’t need sensors for speed control, on board controls
Provides a reading of flow
Is a smaller lower HP assembly
Has a 6-12 month payback
Doesn’t require changes to your electrical cabling 23
