Summary of Addendum 2 for ITB-24-101 RPHS Chiller Replacement Project

This document is Addendum Two to the contract documents for the North Clackamas School District's Rex Putnam High School Chiller Replacement Project (ITB-24-101) located at 12400 SE Freeman Way, Milwaukie, Oregon 97222, issued on September 24, 2023. The addendum addresses two chiller substitution requests and clarifies project requirements. Two substitution requests were submitted and rejected: a Dunham-Bush AVX-BE model chiller and a Quantech QTC4290H model chiller. The addendum confirms that completion dates are non-negotiable and firm, and specifies that witness tests for the owner or owner's representative are not required. All affected subcontractors must be notified of these changes and requirements.

The Dunham-Bush substitution was rejected due to the manufacturer not being approved under specification 23 64 00, insufficient number of installed units available for owner inspection within 30 miles of the project site, electrical requirements exceeding design specifications without the required 115 VAC 15 Amp convenience outlet, and performance metrics (IPLV and EER) falling below design requirements. The Quantech substitution was similarly rejected for non-approved manufacturer status, incorrect unit tag designation, electrical parameters exceeding maximum design requirements without required outlet provisions, and failure to meet design efficiency requirements (IPLV and EER). Additionally, the Quantech unit's physical footprint and required service clearances (6 feet side-to-wall, 6 feet rear-to-wall, and 4 feet control panel-to-wall) could not be accommodated within the existing enclosure while maintaining adequate service accessibility.

Stable and efficient operation with precise chilled water temperature control. Chilled water temperature is controlled at ±0.8 oF [0.5 oC] range for your comfort cooling, with best energy saving

REFRIGERATION CYCLE

Dunham-Bush rotary screw air cooled chillers are designed for efficiency and reliability. The rotary screw compressor is a positive displacement, variable capacity compressor that will allow operation over a wide variety of conditions.

The refrigerant management system is shown in the refrigerant cycle diagram.

- 9 -

OPERATING BENEFITS

Liquid refrigerant enters the flooded evaporator uniformly where it absorbs heat from water flowing through the evaporator tubes. The vaporized refrigerant is then drawn into the suction port of the compressor where the positive displacement compression begins.

This partially compressed gas is then combined with additional gas from the vapor injection port at an intermediate pressure. Compressed gaseous refrigerant is then discharged into the integral oil separator where oil, which is contained in the refrigerant vapor, is removed and returned to the compressor oil sump.

Fully compressed and superheated refrigerant is then discharged into the condenser, where air is being drawn through the condenser tube by the propeller fan cools and condenses the refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant then passes through the economizer. A portion of liquid refrigerant is tapped passes through the expansion valve back into the economizer for further subcooling of main liquid refrigerant flow.

The gaseous refrigerant is then drawn out of the economizer and into the vapor injection port of the compressor. The remaining subcooled liquid refrigerant then passes through electronic expansion valve which reduces refrigerant pressure to evaporator levels where it is then distributed evenly into the evaporator.

With the additional subcooling, the enthalpy of the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator is reduced which increases the refrigeration effect and improves the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle.

Economizer/ Vapor Injection Cycle for Increase Capacity and Higher EER The renowned Dunham-Bush screw compressor allows for economizer vapor injection cycle to be incorporated, increasing capacity by significantly with marginal increase in kW-input. Thus, unit EER is improved!

PART-LOAD PERFORMANCE

Through the use of economizer, electronic expansion valve and multiple compressors, Dunham-Bush air cooled chillers have some of the best part-load performance characteristics in the industry when measured in accordance with AHRI Standard 550/590.

In most cases, actual building system loads are significantly less than full load design conditions, therefore chillers operate at part load most of the time.

Dunham-Bush air cooled chillers combine the efficient operation of multiple compressors with an economizer cycle and advanced controller to yield the best total energy efficiency and significant operating saving under any load.

When specifying air conditioning equipment, it is important to consider the system load characteristics for the building application. In a typical city, the air conditioning load will vary according to changes in the ambient temperature. Weather data compiled over many years will predict the number of hours that equipment will operate at various load percentages.

The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) has established a system, in AHRI Standard 550/590, for measuring total chiller performance over full and part-load conditions. It defines the Integrated Part-Load Value (IPLV) as an excellent method of comparing diverse types of equipment on an equal basis. The IPLV is a single number estimate of a chiller’s power use weighted for the number of hours the unit might spend at each part-load point. IPLV’s are based on Standard Rating Conditions.

The formula for calculating an IPLV is:

IPLV =

where: A= kW/ton at 100% load point

B= kW/ton at 75% load point C= kW/ton at 50% load point D= kW/ton at 25% load point

0.01 + 0.42 + 0.45 + 0.12 A B C D
