1.3 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
A. Each chiller shall produce a capacity as scheduled on plans when operating on a fluid
mixture of 30% propylene glycol.
B. The coolers shall be selected for 0.00010 fouling factor. Water side shall be designed for
150 psig working pressure. The condenser shall be selected for 0.00025 fouling factor.
Water side shall be designed for 150 psig working pressure.
C. Chillers shall give 15 to 25% more capacity with better efficiency when condenser water
temperature is lowered.
D. Seismic Performance: Centrifugal chillers shall withstand the effects of earthquake
motions determined according to California Building Code.
1. The term "withstand" means "the unit will remain in place without separation of
any parts from the device when subjected to the seismic forces specified."
E. Condenser-Fluid Temperature Performance:
1. Startup Condenser-Fluid Temperature: Chiller shall be capable of starting with
an entering condenser-fluid temperature of 40 deg F and providing stable
operation until the system temperature is elevated to the minimum operating
entering condenser-fluid temperature.
2. Minimum Operating Condenser-Fluid Temperature: Chiller shall be capable of
continuous operation over the entire capacity range indicated with an entering
condenser-fluid temperature of 55 deg F.
3. Make factory modifications to standard chiller design if necessary to comply
with performance indicated.
4. Site Altitude: Chiller shall be suitable for altitude at which installed without
affecting performance indicated. Make adjustments to affected chiller
components to account for site altitude.
5. Performance Tolerance: Comply with the following in lieu of ARI 550/590:
a. Allowable Capacity Tolerance: Zero percent.
b. Allowable IPLV/NPLV Performance Tolerance: Zero percent.
