Fan Powered Box retrofit
Fan Powered Box retrofit, Size: 24X20X2
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.

ENERGY SAVINGS Evaporative PreCoolers Installed
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
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!
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
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.

Renewal/Refresh Programs
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
