2 INEXPENSIVE RETROFIT DESIGNS FOR ABOVE CEILING UNITS Fan coil units Fan terminal units Single ducted fan powered units Heat pump units Where air filtration applications are difficult to perform service install / change-out

3 WHY WOULD A RETROFIT TO THE FILTER SECTION BE NECESSARY? Where the existing application has a poor quality air filter in place. Where the existing application has a poor quality or broken down holding mechanism to hold the air filter in place.

18 Fan Powered Box retrofit, Size: 24X20X2

19 Fan coil unit consists of a fan that blows room air over a coil of finned pipes that carry heated or chilled water. Some types have a single coil supplied with hot water; these can only heat the air. Others types have a single coil supplied with chilled water, these can only cool the air. Yet others have 2 coils and heat or cool the air. The electrical loading is small, consisting only of a fan and usually a controller that operates valves to control the flow of heated or chilled water. Almost always single phase. The chilled and/or heated water would be supplied by remote central plant, with appreciable energy use.

22 Evaporative PreCooling for Air-Cooled Condensers

23 The Evaporative PreCooling Principle Increase Cooling Capacity Reduce Energy Usage

24 Small Packaged Unit Performance Data (12.5 Tons) CAPACITY INCREASE Increase in Tons 11% Decrease in KW 19% Increase in SHC 6%

25 CAPACITY INCREASE Mid-size Scroll Compressor Chiller Performance Data (50 Ton) Increase in Tons 11% Decrease in KW 18% Increase in EER 27%

26 Large Scroll Compressor Chiller Performance Data (100 Ton) CAPACITY INCREASE Increase in Tons 11% Decrease in KW 19% Increase in EER 27%

27 kwh ENERGY SAVINGS Unit Description: Location: Customer: 40 Ton Packaged Condensing Unit Cypress, TX (Houston Area) Large Telecom Company Summary of Results Cooling Degree Day (CDD) Without PreCooling With PreCooling CDD % Savings % % % % % % %

28 ENERGY SAVINGS Evaporative PreCoolers Installed

29 REDUCED MAINTENANCE Cleaner coils mean more efficient operation. A dirty condenser coil can increase compressor energy consumption by 30%. - Federal Emergency Management Program Fact Sheet If the coil is dirty. this raises your electricity cost for air conditioning and may shorten the life of the outdoor condensing unit. - Saturn Research Management

30 WATER CONSERVATION The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) reports: U.S. electricity production consumes over 20 gallons of water per KWH created. Other studies confirm this water usage, and state that depending upon the power plant type, the water usage can range from 10 gallons to 25 gallons of water consumed per KWH created. PreCooling systems use approximately 1.9 gallons of water for each KWH saved. This savings covers 90% of water usage cost while saving electricity Precooling systems annual water costs are measured in hundreds of dollars, while saving thousands of dollars annually in electricity costs. By reducing electricity demand and consumption Evaporative Cooling actually SAVES water on a global scale!

31 ADDITIONAL BENEFITS Reduces Energy Use Reduces Demand Charges Reduces Overall Maintenance Increases tonnage capability Improves the KW/Ton Ratio Reduces Head Pressure Increases system reliability Protects Coils from Debris and Damage Extends the life of HVAC equipment

32 XCEL ENERGY REBATES Direct Evaporative PreCoolers for Air-Cooled Condensers (DEPACC) The measure will focus on retrofits for existing commercial rooftop units 10 nominal tons or greater. Public Service will provide a prescriptive rebate of $100/nominal ton of cooling for the installation. The rebate will be capped at 60% of total project cost and will be consistent with the existing terms and conditions of the current Public Service Company prescriptive measure incentives and measure. DEPACC will contribute 2,788 net generator kw of demand savings and 2,465,098 kwh of electric savings. The forecasted spend amount for this new measure is $1,102,500.

47 What is it? Retrofit package to replace motor starter on centrifugal compressor water chillers. AFD is designed to maximize chiller efficiency and reduce power consumption by adapting the motor speed to the chiller s operating load Designed to interface with a variety of controls Suitable for CVHE and CVHF chillers Offered as unit mounted or remote mounted Using adaptive logic, the AFD meets the systems required load conditions and at the same time maintains maximum efficiency of the chiller By communicating with the control panel, the AFD maintains safe and uninterrupted chiller operation

48 Chiller With AFD Retrofit Can be unit or remote mounted.

49 Why? Does anyone have a chiller that runs 100% loaded, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?

50 Features and Benefits - Energy Savings AFD Comparison Curves kw/ton % 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Percent Load Without AFD, Without Condenser Relief With AFD, With Condenser Relief

51 Applications Serves buildings with a variety of cooling needs Commercial offices Retail buildings Chillers with high run hours (over 1,000) at part lift Facilities where water temperature can be reduced by 10 degrees or more an AFD will result in higher savings Hotels Data processing facilities Arena and Sport Complexes Systems designed for peak operation (sporting event, game, etc.) 24-hour dehumidification for locker rooms, pools, etc. Manufacturing facilities

52 Applications Product Overview Misapplied chillers Oversized chillers (older chillers were sometimes oversized) Building that have changed owners and type of use Heat recovery or ice making that is no longer used Hospitals Hotels Soft start requirement, reduces startup inrush High utility rates Utility rebates available.

53 Renewal/Refresh Programs

54 What is it? Renewal / Refresh Webster s definition: re new: to become new or as new; to begin again. an investment that delivers a manufacturer s original commitment of reliability and performance that is backed by a long-term warranty.

55 For what Products Centrifugal Chillers Helical Rotary (screw) chillers (air cooled and water cooled) Large Package Rooftops Units (>20 tons) Vertical Self Contained Units. Building Automation Systems

56 What is Renewal / Refresh Service Program? Under Normal Conditions, Components Can Wear and Deteriorate Over Time... Gaskets - internal and external elastomer seals give up elasticity and harden with time. The rate of deterioration depends on time, temperature, and operating conditions. Bearings - individual unit-operating conditions can influence bearings performance. Certain site conditions can cause bearing damage and ultimately compressor failure. Slide Valve slide valve wear, common result is the loss of load and temperature control.

57 What is Renewal / Refresh Service Program? Technology improvements can lead to improved performance. Mechanical Upgrades can lead to improved efficiencies and reliabilities. Software Upgrades can also lead to improved efficiencies and reliabilities.

58 Why? Budget Constraints Saves Money vs. Compressor Failure or Unit Replacement - Budgeted Expense, Planned, Predictable, Not a Surprise Lowest Life Cycle Cost for Your Equipment Proactive - while compressor wear is not preventable, catastrophic compressor failure can be reduced Financial Constraints With a Major Failure or Complete Chiller Replacement Budget planning in advance Maintenance budget vs. capital expense

59 Why? Long term assurance... Additional two, three, five year parts and labor warranties available. Environmentally conscious - prevent refrigerant leaks Legal (and moral ) obligation to conserve the environment
