BENEFITS

Armstrong recommended The Delta Hotel upgrade one of their existing DualArm pumps to a new Tango pump. Even though the original pump was only 3.5 years old, the new Tango pump is better - with a new design, control algorithms and performance management features. Installed and tuned to match the output of the original pump, the Tango pump is producing the same flow, but using 40% less energy.

The Design Envelope Fire Pump Solution will save you, the contractor, $53,000 on your net installed cost by eliminating the need for 72 PRVs. We are also able to provide a less costly Fire Pump controller , that may also save you money on electrical infrastructure costs. This will also save the building owner an average of $12,500 per year in PRV inspection and maintenance. 

Guaranteed Savings 

Armstrong, the leader in intelligent pumps, offers innovative solutions that reduce costs dramatically, improve the safety of your tenants and protect your property and assets. Design Envelope Fire Pump Units reduce the cost for the purchase and installation of sprinkler and distribution piping, while reducing associated design work. They also reduce ongoing costs for building operation and maintenance and maximize available space.

YOUR FIRST STEP TO 
FIRE SAFETY SAVINGS 

Design Envelope fire pump units bring designers installation saving opportunities, far beyond existing variable speed controller installations supplied with constant speed fire pumps. Design Envelope fire pump units save on installed costs with:

Smaller fire pump controllers: with soft-start features included in the onboard frequency converter

Precise adjustable speed pressure control: eliminates the requirement for pressure reducing valves (PRVs) 

Complete solution including pump , bypass and adjustable speed drive at a fraction of the price of a traditional wall mounted AFD- Adjustable Frequency Drive controllers  

Design Envelope Fire Pump Units include the NFPA SRVSFP unit function of
