STEAM, AIR, AND HOT WATER EDITION

Close The Knowledge Gap With Armstrong

The US Department of Labor estimates that up to half of the country’s energy workforce will retire within 5 to 10 years. This creates a huge knowledge gap – and a big opportunity for you to close it – with help from the Armstrong Utilities Engineering Team!

Join us on Monday, February 17th for an informative, one-hour webinar featuring Armstrong team members including Nevena Iordanova, Prathamesh Ternikar and John Smith. Two sessions are planned for your convenience – one at 9:00 am EST and the other at 4:00 pm EST. Sign up below and tap Armstrong to help you close the knowledge gap for your customers!

Two webinar sessions are available to accommodate your busy schedule. Please select from the times offered below to register.

If you have a heating emergency, then take a look at the Armstrong solutions designed to withstand cold weather environments. With our HotBreath™ Quick Ship Program, you can order up to 5 standard units for delivery within 5 business days!

Armstrong Hot Water Group Doubles Your Triple Options

Faced with a hot water delivery and redundancy volume that requires three heat exchangers? Faced with height or width restrictions? No problem! The modular creativity of the Armstrong Hot Water Group doubles your Flo-Rite-Temp® and Digital-Flo® triple heat exchanger configuration options.

The conceptual views feature three DF8120 heat exchangers feeding a DMC80-80-80BS in a stacked or side-by-side orientation. In the presence of steam at 15 psi, CWI of 40°F, and a DRV setpoint of 140°F, this assembly is rated to deliver 372 gpm at full flow – or 248 gpm with 100% redundancy.

If site access is a challenge, the assembly can be disassembled into four individual skids, delivered to the point of installation, and then easily reassembled.

Triple hot water generation, precise temperature control, and hot water system monitoring and reporting all on a single-source modular assembly. Stacked or side-by-side. It’s another intelligent solution to add to your hot water portfolio.
 

Consulting Engineer Seminar Planned for March 17th - 18th, 2020
