Armstrong's Integrated Pumping System (IPS) automatically ensures delivery of required
pumping capacity to match key building loads, while pumping energy costs are kept to
a minimum.
With the use of system load detectors, such as differential pressure sensors, at one or more
remote load locations, the Armstrong IPS automatically and continuously provides the
required flow for the current needs. HVAC system load requirements vary considerably during a
typical day. Considerable energy savings result when pumping capacity is continuously matched
to the load.
Pumps may be operated as 100% standby or in a multiple pump, staged parallel
sequence. Armstrong's IPS can control as many as 6 pumps in parallel, with up to
18 remote system load sensors.
Dedicated Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) may be used, with or without power bypass
systems. Armstrong offers the most advanced IPS available, with features to serve the most
demanding pumping applications.
Armstrong's IPS concepts should be considered for constant-speed primary with variable speed secondary, or variable speed
primary heating and cooling systems.

The Armstrong Series 8200
ARMPak
is a line of pumping packages specifically designed to meet the require-
ments of chilled water and heating water systems in a commercial building. Armstrong
ARMkool
Series 8100
HVAC Chilled Water Packages include a range of traditional HVAC components that are brought together in
an UL Listed package to save installation time, reduce material costs and improve the quality of assembly.
A unique feature of the
ARMPak
that separates it from the competition is its compact, modular design.
For example, two units, a constant-speed
ARMPak
and a variable speed
ARMPak
can be connected to
create a packaged pumping and control solution for a constant-primary/variable-secondary chilled water
system.
By mixing and matching
ARMPak
units for any desired combination of HVAC pumping system configura-
tion, system designers can optimize mechanical room space. The variable speed
ARMPak
includes controls with pre-designed
terminal block connections for seamless communications between units.
All
ARMkool
packages include a structural steel base suitable for grouting (floor mount systems only), Armstrong Series 4300
VIL or Series 4030 horizontal base-mounted pumps, IEC rated motor starters and 6 panel-mounted pressure gauges. Units
also include Armstrong Suction Guides and Flo-trex triple function valves, all inter-connecting piping spools and elbows, isolation
valves, electrical wiring, suction and discharge headers, single-point electrical power connection and flanged connections.

The IPC 11550 system creates a new standard for HVAC system communications, with full
remote control capabilities through web-based interfaces. In addition to helping predict
equipment failures, the ‘all variable speed’ IPC 11550 controller helps avoid system failures,
as operating at a lower speed will extend equipment life.
‘All variable speed’ plant control offers the greatest opportunity for energy savings. The IPC
11550 system employs the Hartman LOOP® Natural Curve sequencing logic to ensure
that the variable speed chillers are always operating as close as possible to their maximum
efficiency.
The IPC 11550 system also provides secure, remote plant assessment, easily down-
loadable plant data, operator assistance with plant alarms, protocol translation between
field hardware and the BMS, scalability for future plant extensions and a user-friendly
touch-screen interface.
