the load. As they are Armstrong DE (Design Envelope) models, they also provide energy efficient operation across a wider operational range than other pumps, providing flexibility to adapt in the future without the need for replacement or system over-sizing.


The IPS4000 calculates how best to meet demand and automatically manages pump operation accordingly. Its advanced control technology ensures that pumps are operated at their most efficient


points at all times, and are phased in and out in the best possible configurations to deliver the required capacity. By treating the system holistically, and balancing supply across all six pumps, the IPS4000 is able to achieve levels of efficiency that exceed those made possible by less sophisticated capacity-based control methodologies. As the biomass-based district heating scheme has a particularly wide range of operating scenarios, the advanced control made possible by the IPS4000 ensures that energy efficiency is optimised whatever variations may occur. In the future, as additional plant rooms across the Sheffield area are integrated with the district heating scheme, the IPS4000 will ensure that the pumps adapt to accommodate the changing requirements whilst still maintaining optimum energy efficiency. In conclusion, over-sizing of equipment to

accommodate future expansion is a thing of the past. There are a number of ways of delivering effective environmental performance from the outset. Projects may need to scale-up over time, but energy efficient operation can begin from day one.
