Controls

Chilled Water Pumps, Bypass Valves & Desiccant Wheel are Controlled Via Building / Refrigeration EMS System (Danfoss AKC-55)

Danfoss System controls Bypass Valve via two algorithms (Summer & Winter). A Manual Switch is used change from Summer to Winter Mode of Operation

Sub-cooler solenoid valves are “always on” in Summer Operation

Danfoss System Provides “Chiller Run” Input Only

Heating, Cooling & Desiccant have “redundant” Systems

Challenges

– Site Required a Roof Top Installation

– Weight of System Required Additional Steel Support

– Location / Pre-Fabricated Weight Required 600 ton Crane to Install

– Pre-Fabricated Size Of System Required Special Permitting for Delivery (Over Width & Over Height)

– Mechanical / Electrical Engineers not Familiar with Technology

– Utility not Familiar with Technology

System InstallationSystem InstallationSystem InstallationSystem Installation Benefits of Pre-Fabrication

– Quality Control – Assembled in Controlled Environment

– Simplified Installation: Seven Point Connection

• Chilled Water Supply & Return

• 400 amp 480v

• High Natural Gas (5 PSI)

• Make up water

• Tower / Chiller Drain

• Exhaust Duct to Desiccant

• Phone Line

– Less Design Required by Local Project M/E Engineers

– Very Accurate Documentation for Utility Interconnection Applications

– Faster Start-up & Commissioning

System Inst. (Utility Interconnection)System Inst. (Utility Interconnection)System Inst. (Utility Interconnection)System Inst. (Utility Interconnection)Utility Interconnection:

Was Not an Issue!

– Turbines are NY State Type Tested and Approved for Interconnection

– NY State Law Forces Utilities to accept Standard Type Tested Interconnection

– Hardest Part was Getting to “the Right Person” within the Utility and “Educating” them about the System.

– Overall Application and Approval Process was very Simple

– Did Not Cause Any Delay or Additional Expense for Project

System Installation (Commissioning)System Installation (Commissioning)System Installation (Commissioning)System Installation (Commissioning)Commissioning:

A Problem Develops:

– Turbines will not automatically re-start in “multi – pack mode”

– Turbine Software found to be the problem

– Software has to be NY State Approved

– Delayed System Interconnection test three weeks

That Was the Only Real Problem!!

What’s the Bottom Line?What’s the Bottom Line?What’s the Bottom Line?What’s the Bottom Line?Reduced Energy Costs! Great PR!

Estimated Annual Avoided Energy Loads & Cost

Quantity % of Annual Baseline – Energy

Annual Cost Savings [$]*

Grid Electricity 54% $44,000

Refrigeration Compression 10% $10,000

Space Cooling Compression 70% $45,000

Desiccant Regeneration 50% $9,000

Space Heating 75% $21,000

Total $129,000

Gas = $0.69/therm & Grid Electric at $.13 kWh

Things To Consider:Things To Consider:Things To Consider:Things To Consider: Local Utility Costs (Can you do it cheaper?)

Can You Use The Chilled Water?

Is High Pressure Gas Available?

Local Interconnection Regulations?

– State Law?

– Local Utility Control?

– What are The Requirements?

Can You Get It There? (Permit Issue)

Would We Do It Again?Would We Do It Again?Would We Do It Again?Would We Do It Again?

Yes!
