WATER-COOLED CHILLER

1 General
1.0 Related Documents:
a. This section of the specifications is subject to the provisions of Division 1, Division 23 in
general and specifically, Section 15670 - General Mechanical Requirements. Work de-
scribed in this section shall comprise an integral part of the work of Division 23 and shall
be referenced by all mechanical trades for purposes of coordination so that a complete
mechanical installation will result without additional cost to the Owner.

1.1 SCOPE OF THE WORK:

a. “Provide,” meaning “Furnish and Install,” as described in these specifications and as
shown on the drawings, a complete replacement air cooled chiller system.
b. New Chiller: Provide Microprocessor controlled, multiple-scroll compressor, water-cooled,
liquid chillers of the scheduled capacities as shown and indicated on the Drawings, includ-
ing but not limited to:
– Chiller package
– Electrical power and control connections
– Chilled water connections
– Charge of refrigerant and oil installed at the factory for factory mounted evaporator, or provided
on site if the evaporator is shipped separately for field installation and piping by contractor).
c. This installation, sized for 5 no. (4 duty and 1 stand by lead/lag operation) of 625 tons
cooling each, requires a dual circuited unit configuration with control to effect a seamless
operation of the overall unit, but with either circuit able to run independently of the other as
in the case of the loss of one circuit compressor or its related evaporator, including
devices and controls. Owner will consider, and invites, presentation of two separate 625
ton units, the pair to be provided with controls to make the function equivalent to a
“twinned” pair capable of “either one, or both” operation. This is thought to be equivalent
to the dual compressor, independent circuit function of a single machine.

4 Execution
4.0.1 MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS
a. Compliance:
– Comply with manufacturer's written recommendations or specifications, including product
technical bulletins, handling, storage and installation instructions, and datasheet.

4.0.2 Pre-Installation
a. The unit needs to be handled with care during transportation and it is prohibited to move the
unit by holding on to the blower or blower blade.
b. The unit is designed to take its own weight. As such, do not transfer the load of duct, water
pipes and other accessories to the unit. This may cause the hanger to deform and fail.
c. Before any installation work starts, the following should be checked:
– Chilled water pipes and condensate water drainage pipes must be properly connected and
standby for use.
– Electrical wiring is properly connected and all terminals are tightened to prevent loose
wires.
– Sufficient space must be reserved for installation, service and maintenance purposes.
– Ensure the hanging rod is capable of supporting the weight of the unit and the position of
rods are according to drawing.
 – Ensure the supply and return duct installed (for units that required ducting) is according to
the specification of the unit

4.0.3 Unit Installation

a. Mount or hang units as indicated.
b. Make power and control connections.
c. Co-ordinate ducting of fresh air with other Divisions at floor.
d. The top connecting pipe is for water outlet and bottom connecting pipe is for water inlet. Dur-
ing installation, do not tighten the pipe with excessive torque to prevent deformation of heat
exchanger. Both inlet and outlet pipes should be insulated, connecting threads should be
sealed using PTFE tape and sufficient gradient should be maintained for condensate water
pipe for proper water drainage.
e. It is recommended to use union for connection of unit to the supply and return water pipes
and to have isolation valves for each unit to ease servicing work / upgrade of equipment in the
future.
f. Water piping should be sufficiently supported at proper intervals to cater for the weight of the
pipes and also water flowing inside. Consideration for expansion and contraction is a must to
prevent leaking and breakage of pipes.
g. A manual air vent is located at the water outlet pipe. During commissioning or changing from
cooling to heating cycle (or vice versa), the valve must be opened to release air that might be
trapped inside the pipe in order to ensure good heat exchange efficiency.

4.0.4 Direction of Pipe Connections

a. Direction of pipes is determined by facing the supply air side of the unit. If the pipes are loc-
ated at the left, they are left piping and vice versa. It is important to specify the piping direction
during ordering to avoid installation problem at site.

4.0.5 Pipes Connection

a. All threaded pipes must be sealed using PTFE tape during connection.
b. After leak testing of water pipes, all pipes must be insulated to prevent heat lost / heat gain.
c. AII valves on the piping system must be located within the area of the drain pan of the unit. If
the site condition does not permit that, additional insulation or an additional drain pan should
be installed to prevent condensation.
d. The drain pan is designed to have gradient to ease the flow of condensate water. To facilitate
the proper drainage of condensate water, it is recommended to install the unit at a gradient of
3 ~ 5mm tilting to the drainage pipe.
e. Condensate water pipe should be insulated to prevent condensation at the outer pipe due to
the cool drainage water. It is recommended that the gradient of the pipe should not be less
than 1:75 to facilitate the flow of drainage water

4.0.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

a. All electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified technician who is certified by the local
authorities.
b. All electrical wires used for wiring must comply to the local codes and regulations.
c. Fluctuation of electricity should be within +/-10% of the rated power supply.
 d. During installation, wiring should be connected according to the wiring diagram provided by
the manufacturer and do not wire all of the three speeds of motor together to a single power
source.
e. Earth wire is provided and it is being connected to the casing of the motor for protection. The
unit should be properly GROUNDED to avoid incident of electrical shock.
f. Unit of different model should not share a single 3-speed switch, or the motor will not work
properly or it will be burnt

4.0.7 COMMISSIONING
a. Perform tests in accordance with Section 26 05 00 – Common Work Results - Electrical.
b. Section 01 91 13.13 – Commissioning (Cx) Requirements.

4.0.8 CLEANING
a. Proceed in accordance with Section 01 74 00 - Cleaning.
b. Upon completion and verification of performance of installation, remove surplus materials, ex-
cess materials, rubbish, tools and equipment.
