Armstrong Fluid Technology’s new Design Envelope pumps with permanent magnet motors feature advanced performance mapping technology and load-limiting logic that can help reduce energy consumption up to 30%, the company notes. The new 1- to 10-HP, 4X/IP66-rated pumps can also save an additional 20% compared to competing integrated products with induction motors, Armstrong adds.

Simple, versatile, sophisticated, reliable. The A.Y. McDonald DuraMAC 1 1/2- to 3-HP vertical multistage variable-speed simplex booster is capable of up to 140 psi and 40 gpm. This pump changes motor speed based on demands of the system, allowing users to save energy costs over traditional constant speed booster systems, A.Y. McDonald notes.

The Grundfos CMBE booster is designed for residential and commercial water supply, pressure boosting, irrigation and dewatering applications. The CMBE series is available in both 1x110-120V and 1x200-240V variants and uses energy efficient, permanent magnet motor technology, which provides unmatched reliability, quiet operation and energy savings, the company says.

Franklin Electric Co. announces the launch of the Little Giant VCCA series of condensate pumps: the VCCA-20ULS and VCCA-20-P. Both pumps are designed for use in the automatic collection and removal of condensate from air conditioning, refrigeration and dehumidification equipment when gravity drainage is not possible or practical. The VCCA Series’ low tank height allows these condensate pumps to be used where other condensate pumps will not fit.

The Bell & Gossett MiniBoost Extreme packaged booster system is a pre-engineered, factory assembled pump that has hydraulic capabilities ranging from 20 to 200 gpm with improved pressures to 100 psi, ideal for booster and HVAC systems. The MiniBoost includes an advanced quadratic performance mode for optimal energy efficiency.
