Lowara sails through a high-rise project in Moscow
20/04/2009
Application: Residential Building

ITT Lowara products are meeting the high demands of a high-rise residential complex in Moscow. The riverfront Scarlet Sails complex is ranked among the ten tallest buildings in the city, and ITT Lowara’s EMEA Residential & Commercial Water operation was commissioned to provide pumping solutions for heating, air-conditioning, and hot and cold water systems in the fifth tower of the project. The development provided the common challenges of a high-rise building: high heads for water supply and high static pressures for circulating pumps. Seven booster pump sets have been designed and installed to meet the specific demands from technical staff for the building’s water supply. SV series multistage pumps are married with Hydrovar® frequency controllers which vary the speed of the pumps to ensure maximum efficiency and economy. They achieve the high heads required (up to 180 mwc, 18 bar) and have low-maintenance strainless steel construction. The air-conditioning and ventilation systems use eight in-line circulating FCS series pumps with durable cast iron body and stainless steel laser welded impellers. These also ebenfit from variable speed Hydrovar® controllers. ITT Lowara was chosen under competitive tender for the project, selected for the advanced design of our products, energy saving features and and well-known durability of the FCS pumps.
