About this file

This is a Technical Specification document issued by the Department of General Services, Procurement Division for the State (Event ID 0000036539, BU 7760), detailing requirements for centrifugal water chillers under specification section 23 64 16. The specification calls for factory-assembled and tested water-cooled chillers featuring semi-hermetic, oil-free centrifugal compressors with single-point field-power connections. The equipment must include compressor-drive assemblies, refrigeration systems using R-513a refrigerant, shell-and-tube evaporators and condensers with copper tubes, variable frequency controllers, microprocessor-based controls with graphic displays, and integrated accessories such as vibration isolation and sound barriers. Approved manufacturers include Daikin Applied, Carrier Corporation, Johnson Controls, and Trane. The specification requires comprehensive factory testing, functional run tests before shipping, and compliance with multiple AHRI, ASHRAE, ASME, NEMA, ASTM, IEC, and UL standards. Chillers must be delivered with one-year manufacturer warranties covering the complete package and compressor, plus twelve to eighteen-month warranties for variable frequency drives.

The specification emphasizes performance requirements including modulating capacity control from 100 to 15 percent of design capacity, energy efficiency ratings of at least 96 percent at full load, and motor protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, phase loss, overcurrent, and overtemperature conditions. Installation requirements include factory-authorized startup service, leak testing, bearing lubrication verification, and performance validation of all protection devices and controls. The specification mandates training for the Owner's maintenance personnel conducted by factory-authorized representatives with video documentation of sessions. Additional requirements for chillers with open-type motors include installation of fan coil units with cooling capacity equal to motor heat dissipation, connection to campus building management systems, and pump performance increases to accommodate auxiliary equipment. All electrical components must be listed by Underwriters Laboratories, and the chillers must include comprehensive control functions such as manual or automatic startup scheduling, chilled-water temperature reset, demand limits, and remote BAS interface capabilities through ASHRAE Standard 135 BACnet communication protocols.

b. Fabricate pads from 40- to 50-durometer neoprene.

c. Provide stainless-steel square bearing plate to load the pad uniformly between 20 and 40 psig with a 0.12- to 0.16-inch deflection.

C. Sound Barrier:

1. Furnish removable and reusable sound-barrier covers over the compressor housing, hermetic motor, compressor suction and discharge piping, and condenser shell.

2. Provide for repeated installation and removal without use of tape or calk.

3. Inner and outer cover shall consist of a PTFE-impregnated fiberglass cloth enclosing heavy-density, needled fiberglass insulation material with a mass-loaded vinyl acoustic barrier.

4. Covers shall be double sewn and lock stitched with edges folded and sewn so no raw cut edges are exposed.

5. Form covers around control devices, gages, conduit, piping, and supports without degrading sound-barrier performance.

6. Continuously lap all exposed seams at least 2 inches for better sound containment.

7. Permanently label each section of cover to indicate its location, description, size, and number sequence.

8. Randomly place stainless-steel quilting pins to prevent covers from shifting and sagging.

D. Tool Kit: Chiller manufacturer shall assemble a tool kit specially designed for use in serving the chiller(s) furnished. Include special tools required to service chiller components not readily available to Owner service personnel in performing routine maintenance. Place tools in a lockable case with hinged cover. Provide a list of each tool furnished and attach the list to underside of case cover.

2.13 SOURCE QUALITY CONTROL

A. Perform functional run tests of chillers before shipping.

B. For chillers located indoors, rate sound power level according to ARI 575.

2.14 CHILLERS WITH OPEN MOTORS

A. For chillers with open type motors provide the following:

1. Chilled water fan coil units in the chiller rooms with total cooling capacity equal to the heat dissipation of the chiller motors.

2. Provide FCUs with flexible piping connectors, INSULATED PIPING connected to the chilled water piping loop, power supply, control valves, shutoff valves and appurtenances, as required.

3. Provide FCUs with DOC controls and connect to the campus BMS system.

4. Submit design of the system, signed by a registered mechanical engineer.

5. Increase performance of primary chilled water pumps to account for additional fan coil units.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.04 START UP SERVICE

A. Engage a factory-authorized service representative to perform startup service.

1. Complete installation and startup checks according to manufacturer's written instructions.

2. Verify that refrigerant charge is sufficient and chiller has been leak tested.

3. Verify that pumps are installed and functional.

4. Verify that thermometers and gages are installed.

5. Operate chiller for run-in period.

6. Check bearing lubrication and oil levels.

7. Verify that refrigerant pressure relief device is vented outside.

8. Verify proper motor rotation.

9. Verify static deflection of vibration isolators, including deflection during chiller startup and shutdown.

10. Verify and record performance of fluid flow and low-temperature interlocks for evaporator and condenser.

11. Verify and record performance of chiller protection devices.

12. Test and adjust controls and safeties. Replace damaged or malfunctioning controls and equipment.

B. Inspect field-assembled components, equipment installation, and piping and electrical connections for proper assembly, installation, and connection.

C. Prepare test and inspection startup reports.

3.05 DEMONSTRATION AND TRAINING

A. Engage a factory-authorized service representative to train Owner's maintenance personnel to adjust, operate, and maintain chillers.

B. Video record the training sessions.
