  • Summary
  • Applications

    New and retrofit water pressure boosting for residential, commercial, or industrial settings (such as apartment buildings, office towers, hospitals, hotels, schools, water treatment plants, industrial washing, etc.)

  • Description

    Armstrong Design Envelope 6800 Boosters are fully assembled, programmed, integrated and factory-tested turn-key booster systems. They are equipped with vertical multistage pumps in arrangements of 2 to 5 pumps. The integrated controls and IE5 motors provide superior performance and energy efficiency across broad operating envelopes. Most suitable for applications where energy efficiency, low maintenance costs, installation space and occupant comfort are high priorities.

  • Materials

    Piping: Stainless Steel 304

  • Configuration

    The Design Envelope 6800 Booster offers high-value features such as colour touchscreens, remote monitoring of the HMI, easy-to-use selection software, and onboard energy and flow. Options such as AV kits, break tanks and BMS protocols are available.

  • Performance Range

    Up to 380 m3/hr (105 L/s) flow; up to 270 m (27 bar) pressure 

  • TemperatureMax ambient temp: +45°C; Max fluid temp: cold water
  • Power

    Up to 225 kW (up to 300 hp)

  • SizeFrom VMS-04:03 to VMS-60:05

Lowest Installed Cost

  • Compact, light design for 10-15% smaller footprint and related mechanical room space savings over competition models of equal capacity.
  • Integrated intelligent controls eliminate procurement and installation costs for standalone variable frequency drives and HMI/Control panel.
  • Superior energy performance qualifies for significant cost recovery under utility and government rebate programs

Lowest Operating Cost

  • Integrated intelligent controls – combined with permanent magnet motors (IE5) – for up to 70% in energy savings over traditional constant speed pumps.
  • Pressure setback mode allow optimum pressure control at each load requirements to save energy without compromising comfort.
  • Advanced software features and operating routines substantially reduce maintenance requirements (e.g. uniform load distribution across all pumps avoids pump overloading and premature failure; controlled soft-fill mitigates water hammer and related plumbing system damages)

 

Lowest Project and Operating Risk

  • High-efficiency performance envelopes create a performance comfort zone around the preliminary design point, enabling swift and easy adaptation to changing design, site or operating conditions
  • Integrated intelligent controls afford fast and easy commissioning and remote access to HMI for monitoring and troubleshooting to ensure soft landing of projects
  • Single source-responsibility for optimum design and field support
