system, interconnecting wiring, safety and operating
controls including capacity controller, control center,
motor starting components, and special features
as specified herein or required for safe, automatic
operation.
C. Operating Characteristics:
1. Provide low ambient control and high ambient
options as required to ensure unit is capable
of operation from 0°F to 125°F (-18°C to 52°C)
ambient.
2. Provide capacity control system capable of
reducing unit capacity to (10% for 2 compres-
sor units and 7.5% for 3 compressor units) of
full load. Compressor shall start in unloaded
condition. Application of factory installed hot
gas bypass shall be acceptable as required to
meet specified minimum load.
D. Cabinet: Unit panels, structural elements, control
boxes and heavy gauge structural base shall be
constructed of galvanized steel. Unit panels, control
boxes and structural base are finished with a baked
on powder paint. All painted surfaces shall be coated
with baked on powder paint which, when subject to
ASTMB117, 1,000 hour, 5% salt spray test, yields
minimum ASTM 1654 rating of “6”.
E. Unit shall ship in one piece and shall require installer
to provide only a single evaporator inlet and outlet
pipe connection. If providing chiller model that ships
in multiple pieces, bid shall include all the material
and field labor costs for factory authorized personnel
to install a trim kit to connect the pieces as well as
all interconnecting piping and wiring.
2.02 COMPRESSORS AND MOTORS
A. Compressors: Shall be direct drive, semihermetic,
rotary twin-screw type, including: muffler, tempera-
ture actuated ‘off-cycle’ heater, rain-tight terminal
box, discharge shut-off service valve, and precision
machined cast iron housing mounted on neoprene
isolators Design working pressure of entire compres-
sor, suction to discharge, shall be 350 PSIG (24bar)
or higher. Compressor shall be U.L. Recognized.
B. Motors: Refrigerant suction gas cooled accessible
hermetic compressor motor, full suction gas flow
through 0.006” maximum mesh screen, with inher-
ent internal thermal overload protection and external
current overload on all three phases.
C. Lubrication: External oil separators with no moving
parts, 450 PSIG design working pressure, and UL
listing. Refrigerant system differential pressure shall
provide oil flow through service replaceable, 0.5 micron,
full flow, cartridge type oil filter internal to compressor.
Filter bypass, less restrictive media, or oil pump not ac-
ceptable.
D. Capacity Control: Compressors shall start at minimum
load. Provide Microprocessor control to command com-
pressor capacity to balance compressor capacity with
cooling load. When required to meet minimum load, hot
gas bypass shall be factory installed and integrated into
standard control system.
2.03 REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
A. Each independent refrigerant circuit shall include: liquid
line shutoff valve with charging port, low side pressure
relief device, removable core filter-drier, sight glass with
moisture indicator, and electronic expansion valve.
B. Chiller manufacturer shall provide independent circuit
for each compressor to provide maximum redundancy.
If equipment does not have independent circuits per
compressor, manufacturer shall provide owner one spare
compressor of each unique size.
C. Discharge lines shall be provided with manual compres-
sor shutoff service valves. Suction line shall be covered
with closed cell foam insulation.
2.04 HEAT EXCHANGERS
A. Evaporator:
1. Direct expansion type or flooded type shell and
tube evaporator with high efficiency copper tubes.
Independent refrigerant circuits shall be provided
per compressor.
2. Constructed, tested, and stamped IAW applicable
sections of ASME pressure vessel code for mini-
mum 235 PSIG (16 bar) refrigerant side design
working pressure and 150 PSIG (10 bar) water
side design working pressure.
3. Shell covered with 3/4” (19mm), flexible, closed-
cell insulation, thermal conductivity of 0.26k
(BTU/HR-Ft
2
-°F/in.) maximum. Water nozzles with
grooves for mechanical couplings, and insulated
by Contractor after pipe installation.
4. Provide vent and drain fittings, and thermostati-
cally controlled heaters to protect to -20°F (-29°C)
ambient in off-cycle.
B. Air Cooled Condenser:
1. Coils: Internally enhanced, seamless copper tubes,
mechanically expanded into aluminum alloy fins
