Schedule III
Acceptance Testing
This schedule necessarily varies from project to project. It must be specific to the
particular equipment selected for the RET project, the characteristics of the renewable
energy technology being utilised, the capabilities and limitations of the project’s design
and equipment, the scope of the work to be done as part of this contract, and the nature of
the intended use.
The illustrative description of work shown below relates to the design and construction of
a cogeneration facility are offered to provide an example of the scope and detail of a
workable scope of work description.
=====
Contractor shall provide Owner at least fourteen (14) days advance notice of the date
upon which Contractor intends to start up and have the qualified independent testing
company perform the Acceptance Tests upon the Facility. In connection with such
Testing, Contractor shall further notify any Governmental Authority to whom such notice
is required. Acceptance Tests shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable
Acceptance Test protocols, as set forth below:
1. Acceptance Tests for Chilled Water Production Equipment:
Factory Tests and Associated Performance Curves (ARI Standard 550/590-98)
Certified Field tests of one chiller. If the chiller satisfies such tests, such testing
will be deemed complete. If such chiller fails to satisfy these tests, then the Parties will
proceed to test all chillers.
Cooling tower capacity testing in accordance with Cooling Tower Institute (CTI) test
protocols.
System Acceptance Testing: (a) Capacity – Demonstrate 20, 000 tons, @ 40 degrees
Fahrenheit having a temperature differential of 10 degrees from chilled water return at
50º F, with a 85º F condensing water temperature and maintaining a 32 PSIG pressure
increase between campus chilled water return pipe and campus chilled water supply; (b)
System Efficiency Test .85kW/ton; and (c) Duration of system tests in accordance with
ARI standards.
Secondary Chilled Water Pumps – As per factory tests.
2. Acceptance Tests for Steam Generation Equipment
Factory Tests, associated performance curves and associated data
Field Test of equipment coordinated with acceptance testing of electric system.
System Acceptance Testing: (a) Capacity – demonstrate 400,000 lbs/hour @ 175 PSIG
with 1 degree Fahrenheit superheat; (b) Steam Quality – USDA Food Grade Water
Treatment Chemicals; (d) Duration of system tests – over a period of one hour.
