Glycol Pump System
The SMART Water-Glycol Pump system takes advantage of the HPT pedigree in heat pipe coils and brings that expertise to water coils. By designing the whole system, HPT provides a solution that outperforms most glycol systems, with sensible effectiveness of >50% for a 6-row system at 500 fpm. (This is key when trying to meet ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Section 6.7.7.3 for Laboratory Exhaust Systems.)
The system comprises a pump skid, coils, and air sensors, which all ship from HPT. The contractor will pipe between coils and skid, wire the power supply, Building Management System (BMS) and air sensors. They will also provide standard hydronic services such as startup and installing insulation. The skid includes all the hydronic components, electrical components and water sensors, all fully installed in the factory and ready to use.
Optimal Performance
The system controller modulates valve positions and pump speeds to maintain optimal performance. During different times of the year, this includes heating, cooling, economizer and frost control. The 10-inch touchscreen interface provides a tactile and intuitive representation of the system so maintenance personnel can quickly see how it is performing. The controller can communicate with your BMS via BACnet or Modbus, or connect to a remote interface using MSTP or ethernet. It can also operate independently with fully automatic control.
The fluid can be a variety of ethylene or propylene glycol mixtures and, for warmer climates, water (don’t forget the corrosion inhibitor!). Selection is easy as part of HPT’s pre-engineered approach. Simply provide similar information that you would for a heat pipe: air flow rates, design summer and winter conditions, unit geometries, desired supply conditions, and the distance between airstreams.
This system complements the passive HRM-V, spanning longer distances (>200 feet), integrated controls, and the ability to recover in both seasons regardless of airflow position.
Why SMART?
System – HPT is responsible for the entire system design, so pump selection, controls sequence, and coil design all fall under one responsibility.
Modular – By pre-engineering modules, HPT can configure a system to match your solution while reducing design costs.
Affordable – The systems are economical for their function and performance due to energy recovery.
Reliable – A 5-year warranty covers the system’s performance and individual components.
Technology – This system uses proprietary technology to offer higher effectiveness while consuming less power.
