Armstrong Fluid Technology introduces DEPM pumps 

Armstrong Fluid Technology introduced its range of design envelope permanent magnet (DEPM) pumps for the Australia and Asia-Pacific markets at ARBS 2024.  

“Armstrong’s extended range of DEPM pumps, with motors up to 45kW, deliver a 35–65 per cent reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional integrated pumps with induction motors, translating into 50 per cent embodied carbon reduction for end users,” the firm says. 

“Design envelope pumps provide better flow measurement accuracy (+/- 5 per cent) than most flow meters and are available with Parallel Sensorless Control for optimised pump loading and redundancy. DEPM pumps use smaller motors and controls for a given duty profile, resulting in lower costs and a 50 per cent weight reduction.” 

The firm says the introduction of the DEPM pumps to Australia is aligned with the Australian government’s National Energy Performance Strategy to accelerate actions that improve energy performance and drive demand for energy management solutions.  

“As Australia works to change commercial building energy efficiency (NCC 2025), solutions such as Armstrong’s range of DEPM pumps will help builders, construction managers, and facility managers work towards their sustainability goals,” Armstrong says. 

The are used across construction, hospitals, energy upgrading, data centres, hotels, commercial property, and other sectors with mission-critical facilities, to drive energy monitoring and optimisation in HVAC&R.  

“The DEPM pumps’ motors are built to IEC5 “Ultra-Premium Efficiency” standards,” says the firm, “and exceed the targets of the US Department of Energy and the NRCan Office of Energy Efficiency.”
