By implementing Armstrong Vertical In Line Pumps, The hotel achieved significant cost savings and optimized space utilization. The integrated Variable Speed Drives enhanced operational efficiency, resulting in lower energy consumption and maintenance costs.
The hotel, a landmark in Singapore’s hospitality scene, undertook a significant upgrade of its chilled water system during a chiller replacement project in 2017. The existing horizontal split case pumps were not only outdated but also inefficient, leading to increased operational costs and space constraints in the mechanical room.
To address these challenges, Newark Engineering proposed the installation of Armstrong Vertical In Line Pumps equipped with Integrated Variable Speed Drives (VSD). This innovative solution was designed to maximize space efficiency while enhancing energy performance, crucial for the hotel’s operational sustainability.
The vertical in-line design of the new pumps minimized the physical footprint, allowing for optimized use of the limited plant room space. Furthermore, the integrated VSD eliminated the need for bulky standalone control panels, which would have further encroached on valuable mechanical room real estate.
With the ability to automatically adjust pump speed based on real-time demand, the new system significantly reduced energy consumption during part-load operations. This not only improved overall system efficiency but also contributed to long-term cost savings for the hotel.
As a result of this upgrade, The hotel experienced substantial reductions in both energy and maintenance costs, while also achieving a more streamlined and efficient mechanical setup.
