Thermal Assessment
During a thermal assessment, Armstrong’s factory-trained representatives or our own thermal utilities engineers perform a high-level walk-through of your facilities to evaluate your thermal utilities system. Our experts will:
- Establish an initial baseline of your thermal utilities
- Identify pain points in your thermal utilities infrastructure, from generation, distribution and use to condensate return
- Provide overall observations of system deficiencies, potential impact if these are not addressed, and
- Recommend next steps
Comprehensive Thermal Studies
Based upon actual operational data and measurements, Armstrong’s experts establish a baseline of utility generation and use.
Conduct Thermal Mapping Analysis of the Plant’s Thermal Systems
