TORONTO, ONT — The Park Hyatt Toronto is positioned within the metropolis’s Yorkville neighborhood, house to museums, artwork galleries and swank cocktail bars. The posh resort not too long ago underwent a four-year renovation, the biggest facelift within the property’s 85-year lifespan.

The renovation included main structural adjustments to the unique towers, designed by architects Peter Dickinson and Hugh Gordon Holman, in addition to refreshed eating places and facilities. All 219 visitor rooms—together with 40 suites—have been fully revamped, as have the rooftop bar (the Author’s Room), boardrooms and ballrooms. The bottom-floor podium that connects the resorts two towers acquired a full overhaul, as did the doorway, which is now adorned by an summary bronze sculpture by artist An Te Liu.

Do not Overlook the Mechanicals

When planning the renovation, managers on the Park Hyatt wished to enhance heating effectivity and cut back power use. Armstrong Fluid Expertise—a pacesetter in demand-based management, digitalization, fluid circulation, and warmth switch know-how for the final 80 years—really helpful changing 1 of two current pumps with a Design Envelope DEPM pump, to offer a head-to-head effectivity comparability. 

Along with providing 24/7 service and assist, Armstrong was capable of present complete help throughout the design and specification section.

Set up, set-up and commissioning all proceeded easily. The pump’s vertical In-line design eradicated the necessity for inertia bases, housekeeping pads, and flex connectors whereas reduces piping necessities, vastly simplifying the set up course of. Built-in clever controls eradicated the necessity for separate mounting of the variable frequency drive (VFD) in addition to procurement, set up (together with wiring), calibration and maintenance of the differential strain sensor.

The pipe-mounted UL 778 pumping unit options:

  • Ductile iron e-coated casing
  • Stainless-steel impeller
  • Sintered silicon carbide mechanical seal
  • Break up-coupling design

Stream necessities have been 600 GPM at 75 ft. of head.

Outcomes Matter

The efficiency of Design Envelope DEPM know-how, with high-efficiency motors, meant that the pump may present the required output utilizing a smaller motor – simply 15 HP. The smaller pump (and motor) choice helped to cut back capital prices.

All informed, kWh consumption was decreased from 1.66 to 0.66, an power financial savings of 60%, with an annual value financial savings of greater than $17,000 (USD). Common annual CO2 emissions have been decreased from 96,283 kg. to 80,831 kg. —a financial savings of 16,542 kg. And the efficiencies do not cease there.

Armstrong maps every particular person pump’s hydraulic, motor and inverter variations on the manufacturing facility to realize distinctive accuracy all through the circulation vary. With this calibration, Armstrong Design Envelope pumps additionally function circulation meters, offering dependable system circulation information (+/- 5%). The testing ensures optimum efficiency effectivity at start-up, whereas Armstrong’s Pump Supervisor works through an Web connection to reinforce reliability and maintain peak efficiency over the lifetime of the pump.
