Peerless Pump

Peerless Pump turns to AmbiRad


Background...Peerless Pump of Indianapolis has a long history of success and corporate responsibility in the Indianapolis market. Its origins go back to the purchase of its existing facility from the US army in 1946. Peerless Pump is a subsidiary of Grundfos who is one of the worlds largest pump manufacturers, based in Denmark with more than 18,000 employees globally. It is through the parent companies global commitment to the reduction of energy consumption and overall carbon footprint that facilitated this project. When Energy and Safety Coordinator, Todd Walterman was tasked with this challenge he reached out locally to Freiji Engineered Systems. Frieji has a long history of leading the market in technology and performance in industrial facilities. Application...The building had minimal insulation and provided little resistance to inltration. The prior system utilized 34 gas unit heaters. These units are estimated to be operating at less than 65% efciency. The unit heaters were controlled with independent non-programmable thermostats and were in need of repair. Benets...Mr. Walterman and Freijis energy specialist, Mark Montgomery, investigated two different system types when considering the proposed upgrade of the heating system. Forced air heat and radiant heaters were analyzed. The analysis showed that radiant heat was the better solution based on the leaky nature of the building and the increased fan horsepower required with forced air. Once the determination was made what the best course of action would be, Mr. Montgomery contacted Craig Hale with Advanced Radiant Systems of Fishers. Advanced Radiant Systems is the National Distributor for AmbiRad. Energy projects with Advanced Radiants input have won US Department of Energy Recognition. AmbiRad manufactures the highest efciency heater of its type in all of North America. The proposed upgrades included installing new ultra high efciency radiant tube heaters with overall thermal efciency greater than 90% and radiant efciency in excess of 76%. To take advantage of occupancy schedules, these units included controllers with programmable schedules, password protection, holiday override and network capability. The units were grouped into eleven zones to allow for maximum turn down during light shifts and unoccupied periods. Citizens Energy participated by providing a $25,000 rebate in support of the Peerless project. Through energy conservation and rebates this project will have a return on investment of less than 4 years! Through investment in their own facility Peerless Pump has benetted the entire community.
