Mechanical and plumbing design to add a new chiller plant to the north of the existing Lot 3 plant for the new Fullerton College Instructional Building. The existing plant did not have adequate cooling capacity in the chiller plant to satisfy the additional building loads. The new plant consists of three 600-ton high efficiency water cooled chillers with associated cooling towers installed outside within an enclosed yard space similar to the existing towers.
We conducted a high level campus-wide cooling load analysis and developed a 24-hour daily load profile for each month (January-December). As part of this effort, we identified the peak load, night low load, etc. Subsequent to this, we analyzed different chiller manufacturer’s part load characteristics and selected YORK water-cooled chillers for optimum part load and low load efficiency. The new plant consists of three 600-ton centrifugal chillers, three cell cooling towers, primary/secondary chilled water systems, and all other accessories.
The entire new central plant is equipped with open architecture direct digital control (DDC) system for energy and continuous optimization.
