The Armstrong IVS Sensorless pump is designed to meet the need for energy-efficient pumping systems in today's buildings. Traditional smaller pumping systems, up to and including 55 kW, incorporating fixed-speed pumps waste energy through crude throttling valve flow control. Lifetime Cost Analysis shows that the capital cost of a fixed-speed pump is typically only 5% of its lifetime cost.
The IVS Sensorless pump is a new generation variable-speed pump, completely integrated into a compact package. Pressure transducers/sensors are no longer required, which reduces the installed cost of the unit and makes it practical to use these IVS variable-speed pumps in a retrofit installation.
Applications for this technology include variable volume heating and chilled water applications.
- Variable speed technology allows the speed of the pump to be tuned to suit system demand.
- Technological advancements make variable speed pumps attractive in terms of both capital and lifetime cost.
- Pressure transducers/sensors are no longer required, further reducing capital and installation cost.
- The IVS Sensorless pump is a new generation pump, completely integrated into a compact package.
