Systecon Modular Central Plants and Pumping Systems

A Pioneer in Custom Modular Central Plants

Systecon is a leading manufacturer of custom modular central plants. This includes chiller plants, hot water/steam boiler plants and cogeneration plants; CritiChill® modular indirect evaporative cooling; custom modular pumping systems including VariPrime®; central plant controls; and standard pump packages. 

Innovative Modular HVAC Technologies

Systecon works with engineers and contractors to provide the most efficient and advanced modular HVAC solution for a project. One that’s custom-designed for efficiency of both space and energy. The systems are factory-assembled and performance-tested, then delivered to your work site ready for installation. The results are the highest-quality systems with lower installation and operating costs, shorter lead times and less risk to you.

Factory-Built Systems Reduce Risk and Lead Times

New system or retrofit, we provide customers with the most efficient and advanced utility solutions for their projects – custom designed, factory assembled, performance tested and delivered to the worksite ready for installation. Systecon’s factory-built systems offer less risk, shorter project schedules and improved quality compared to traditional field-built systems.

Highest-Quality Systems and Service

Further, Systecon doesn’t just design and build the best-quality systems. They also provide the best-quality service for those systems. Systecon can manage the entire lifecycle of utility systems, from design and assembly, to installation and maintenance, as well as upgrades and retrofit.

Custom Modular Pumping Systems

Modular pumping systems are typically integrated within a modular central plant. They are custom designed, factory assembled and performance tested to provide the highest-quality solution for your specific project.

A modular pumping system can be applied to chilled water, hot water and condenser water systems. These are applicable to constant speed, primary/secondary and variable primary systems or VariPrime® systems, which include integrated chiller minimum flow bypass and control valve.

Systems can be designed for indoor or outdoor applications with several enclosure options.

Typical System Components

• Structural Base
• Piping and Pipe Supports
• Pumps: Flex Coupled (End Suction, Horizontal Split Case, Vertical Split Case), Closed Coupled (Vertical In-Line, End Suction)
• Motors and Motor Control: Variable Frequency Drives – VFDs (Primary, Secondary, Condenser, Cooling Tower Fan), Combination Starters (Primary, Condenser, Cooling Tower Fan)
• Controls and Wiring
• Mechanical Components: Air Separators and/or Combination Mixer, Expansion Tanks, Suction Diffusers, Valves, Strainers
• All Instrumentation

Optional Components

• Glycol Feed Systems
• Capacitance Tank
• Chemical Treatment
• Heat Exchanger
• Make-Up Water Systems
• Gauges
• Other Specialties

Key Features

• Customized solutions for your specific application
• Single-source responsibility

Standard Pump Packages

These packages provide indoor comfort systems and comprehensive facility solutions for institutional, commercial and industrial uses.

By combining components into standard configurations, Systecon is able to offer pump packages that cost less and require less time to manufacture.

All Systecon Standard Pump Packages come with factory-mounted controls for pump sequencing and remote monitoring. Major system components include pumps, variable frequency drives, headers and structural steel bases.

Design Flexibility

Three basic systems exist:

• Constant Speed (Primary Chilled, Condenser)
