h)

For multiple units, furnish remote chiller plant manager with all required wiring
and parts. The plant manager should have the capability to be connected to the
building management system. If BMS not available the chiller plant manager
shall be capable of controlling multiple chillers and to provide lead-lag switching
between them.

i)

All cables shall not be exposed, they shall be truncated.

AIR COOLED CHILLER NOISE CONTROLLED

a)

All chiller compressors shall be totally enclosed with acoustic sound attenuating
blankets or compartment, weather proof and fire resistant.

b)

Units shall have a compressor compartment to minimize the sound pressure

values; this compartment is made of 3mm outer skin and 0.1 mm perforated
sheet, with 2-inch fiberglass insulation.

c)

For chillers placed on the roof, the noise of these units may be quite noticeable
along the upper floors (about 60 dBA compared to a background of about 25-35
dB). If required, an acoustic damping plenum to act as a snorkel for the air
discharge and air intake shall be constructed to achieve a maximum of 35 dB
during night time in the nearest overlooking part of the building, and distance
shall be identified..

d)

These damping plenum panels shall be constructed of galvanized steel with

perforated metal covering and batt insulation exposed on both sides of the
panel. The exposure of the inside toward the discharge air steam shall act as a
silencer to deal with the fan noise; the outside will help control the
reverberation of the residual noise from the bottoms of the fans as well as
absorb much of the sound radiating from the compressors as it reverberates
within the rooftop enclosure.

e)

In addition, if required to satisfy the noise criteria inside the building the full
perimeter walls of the open chiller yard enclosure shall be strapped with 41 mm
galvanized metal dry wall studs, that 50 mm of batt insulation be placed
between the studs, and that the studs be covered with galvanized 22 gauge
perforated steel. The perforation shall have between 25 and 35% open. The
perforated metal should compress the batt insulation from 50 mm to the 41
mm of the stud.

f)

It is important to ensure that the perforated metal not to be painted after the
assembly of the panels. If any of the perforated metal is to be painted, it must
be painted prior to the assembly of the panels for either the perimeter lining
inside of the wall or for the snorkel of the discharge of the chillers.
