Integrated Piping System

Introducing IPS

Take advantage of an existing piping infrastructure to satisfy heating and cooling requirements.
IPS is a 2 pipe system that utilizes the domestic water source to provide on demand 24/7 365 heating and cooling.

Speed to market

IPS is an auto-calibrated and self-balancing system that requires less calibration taking weeks off a project.

Phased opening

Allows for sections of a building to be opened.

Some of the savings:

15%

less to operate and maintain

20%

reduction in labor costs

30%

less to build

5x

less refrigerant

60%

less piping

Traditional 7 Pipe System

Not really 4 pipes -- actually 7 pipes, 3 more than our IPS system

30% more plumbing and piping cost than our IPS System in a typical multi-unit building
Up to 20% more overall installation costs including labor

Typical Fan Coil / Plumbing Fixture Piping Diagram

THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE:

▹Piping material for IPS ONDemand mains and runout piping to fan coils should be Copper, Stainless Steel or Polypropylene.

▹Piping material for plumbing fixtures should be Copper, Stainless Steel, Polypropylene or PEX.

What powers it?

Our proprietary fan-coil technology utilizes the potable water supply already existing in the building.

A Better Solution

Costs up to 15% to operate & maintain. Quiet and comfortable heating and cooling with lowest installation cost and highest operational savings!

TRACvalve

Variable performance value at a fixed performance cost!

The TRACvalve™ variable fan coil is a budget-friendly, cost efficient approach to increasing comfort through the leaving air temperature control. With TRACvalve™, the horsepower required by the system’s central pumps is reduced. Plus, central plant efficiency is improved by moderating and lowering overall demand. TRACvalve™ adjusts to the design LAT, maintaining a high Delta-T across the coil. Variable fluid flow reacts to room and system changes, reducing GPM at lower load demand. TRACvalve™ variable fan coils are an excellent choice for any indoor environment in which tracking and adjusting to real time variable load is critical.

The TRACvalve Advantage

Test Ports
Ball Valves
On/Off two-way valve, 50 PSI close
Strainer with blow down
Cleanable flow limiting valve
Requires balancing

With TRACvalve, you get:

Reduced flow of up to 80%!
Improved chiller efficiency
TRACvalve™ , 130 PSI close
Self-cleaning with LAT sensor
Rangeability 300:1
Pressure independence
Self-balancing

ComforTRAC

A totally variable fan coil

Supreme comfort through optimum control

The ComforTRAC™ from Williams has the ability to recognize changing room conditions and adjust automatically, matching real time variable load in virtually any indoor environment for the ultimate in comfort conditioning. Since moving BTUs in water is a superior method than moving them in air, the result is a higher level of comfort with lower system costs and greater energy efficiency. The ComforTRAC™ totally variable fan coil is the demand-controlled fan coil, offering variable CFM, GPM, LAT and dehumidification. Ideal applications include classrooms, conference and meeting rooms, dorms, suites, common areas or any space where discriminating occupant demand for comfort is required.

Design Features

Performance is demand-controlled and matches heating and cooling load in any climate.
Energy consumption is also demand-controlled as the load is continuously monitored and matched as needed. This allows the ComforTRAC™ unit to “sip” capacity from the main chiller system or boiler far more efficiently than conventional systems.
Open protocol-compatible, may easily be incorporated into building automation systems (BAS). BTL certified BACNet.
Coil design minimizes flow requirements and increases design Delta-T which reduces pipe size and the associated sizing of mains and central system components.
Leaving air temperature control (LAT) delivers comfort and quick response at the unit. The unit is continuously recomissioning itself to space and system variations.
Self-balancing and cleaning capabilities eliminate flow control devices, strainers and test ports saving capital and operating costs.

Features

Digital controller - variable capacity based on set point difference to actual room temperature and humidity
Proportional two-way TRACvalve, characterized-port ball type with integral LAT sensor
Self-balancing
Self-cleaning
Maintains Delta-T
Individual control of temperature and humidity
Less "ON-OFF cycling
Slow ramp rate and low RPM motor performance
NetSensor sets temperature, set point and humidity
