Armstrong launch MBS and win 2 prestigious awards
| During October, Armstrong Integrated Systems Ltd, Armstrong’s UK packaging division launched the highly efficient MBS Integrated Heating Solution at 2 trade shows and won back to back awards, the first being the new product award at London HEVAR, the second being the Best Innovation in Building Services award at the M&E Event, Olympia. | |
 |
The MBS is a fully integrated commercial heating solution for medium sized applications (120 to 320 kW). It combines the functions of low NOx gas fired condensing boilers, intelligent variable speed circulating pumps, |
| automatic fill/top up device, expansion vessel, water treatment dosing,PLC controls, piping, electrics and thermal insulation in modules which are easily manoeuvred and connected on site. | |
| “This is a major innovation in the commercial market sector. Previously, intelligent sub-systems like condensing boilers and variable speed pumps worked in isolation so that much of the potential energy savings were wasted.”, says Steve Cooper, Managing Director for AISL. | |
| “The user friendly, integrated controller ensures that an optimal number of boilers are run at the lowest load (highest efficiency) and maintain the lowest system supply temperature and lowest system flow rate required to maintain pre-set internal temperatures. The aim is to maintain steady state conditions by modulating the load so that thermostatic radiator valves and two-port zone valves ideally remain open for as long as possible. With its easy-to-install modular design, the MBS combines excellent seasonal operating efficiencies with rapid installation. These benefits create a win/win situation for the designer, installer and owner alike.” | |
| The MBS is equally suited to new build or refurbishment projects and its high overall seasonal efficiency exceeds the latest U.K. Part L of the Building Regulations, ASHRAE 90.1 and California Title 24. It is well suited to installation in schools, office blocks, hotels, sport arenas, apartment blocks, student accommodation, nursing homes, healthcare facilities, prisons, military establishments and government buildings. | |

May 2005
Armstrong Integrated Systems have secured a £ 1 Million order to supply, build and deliver four chilled-water packaged pump rooms for two data centre sites located in Leeds (Pudsey and Copley) for the Halifax Bank of Scotland.
As part of the order requirements and to release our design development fees; drawings and design documentation were required within 3 weeks to maintain this fast track programme of 16 weeks from order to delivery. AISL are pleased to announce that with teamwork playing a fundamental role, the customer's requirements and expectations were fully met during this particularly demanding 3-week period.
Each of the 2 sites will include both a primary and a backup plant room
12 meters x 10 meters x 4 meters high. Each plant room will arrive on site in 3 separate modules weighing aprox 15 tonnes per module.
Delivery of the plant rooms is scheduled for August 2005 .
April 2005
Armstrong Integrated Systems have recently secured an order to build and deliver a 3200kW low-pressure hot water heating plant room, coupled with hot water storage for HMP Birmingham (formerly known as Winson Green Prison).
The plant room will contain four 800kW gas fired boilers, acoustic burner shrouds, two in-line 65 l/s circulation pumps, domestic hot water load levellers, a gas meter, a water meter, pressurisation equipment, air and dirt separation equipment, electrical works, a fire alarm system, pipework, valves and security gates.
The completed unit will be approximately 10 meters x 7 meters x 2.9 meters and will weigh in excess of 30 tonnes. Four flues will be individually installed exiting the plant room on a central support mast terminating approximately 6 meters from floor level.
It is anticipated that the plant room will be manufactured and delivered in 2 sections. Due to the restrictive access at the site, the two sections will be craned into place on a pre-cast foundation.
The order also includes a separate gas booster plant room in addition to the main plant room.
Delivery dates for the gas booster room and the main plant room are April 2005 and June 2005 respectively. Congratulations to everyone at Armstrong Integrated Systems on securing this important and high profile contract!
