Armstrong International Resources
These customer stories are great examples of how Armstrong International can help you.
Hospitality Building
A 44,000 square feet across 44 stories with residences, entertainment and retail amenities inclusive of outdoor space, a skyline pool, a fitness club and dining. The design team provided for a 140°F riser through the building for domestic hot water use. The building was divided into seven zones with each supplying hot water to five to six floors.
Educational School District
A School District with 7 high schools, 6 middle schools, and 34 elementary schools. Two significant hot water problems were resolved, leading to additional projects at the other buildings. 1) A lack of temperature control during varying levels of demand, and 2) The frequency and high cost of maintenance associated with the existing thermostatic mixing valves.
Healthcare
A Hospital with over 400 beds. The hospital was experiencing fluctuating water temperature to the facility’s central sterilization machine. The lack of water temperature control was caused by a thermostatic mixing valve that was unable to provide accurate control at the required low flows.
Industrial
Infineum is a manufacturer of petroleum additives for lubricants and fuels, a joint venture of ExxonMobil and Shell. Infineum’s Business and Technology Center (LBTC) is supplied low pressure (140 psig) steam from a nearby refinery through a 16” (410 mm) diameter steam line that runs underneath a major roadway. Steam is used at LBTC for Cogen plant operation, space heating, and light process use.
After years of being supplied steam on a flat contract, LBTC was notified that they would now be billed for actual usage. In order to avoid additional costs of over a hundred thousand dollars, Infineum decided to improve the accuracy of steam flow metering and reduce steam consumption.
