3.6 SYSTEMS SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
3.6.1 Chilled Water System
3.6.1.1 The chilled water system consists of 4 No. water cooled chillers
(CHLR-1,2,3&4) in the basement 2 plant room, with 1 No. dedicated
primary chilled water pump per chiller (P-6, 7, 8 & 9). Secondary
chilled water pumps will then distribute the chilled water to various
circuits serving air handling units, tenant fan coil units and heat
exchangers. Heat Exchangers and their associated secondary
chilled water pumps are used as pressure breaks within the tower.
The secondary circuits downstream of each heat exchanger have
dedicated secondary pumps, pressurisation units and controls to
distribute chilled water to the air handling units, fan coil units and A/C
units, etc in their respective zones.
3.6.1.2 The primary chilled water pumps (P-6,7,8,9&10) are sequenced with
the 4 No. chillers, with 1 No. standby pump (P-10). The primary
pumps are headered together so that the number of chillers and
primary pumps in operation are always matched. Any one pump can
operate with any one chiller. The BMCS shall provide auto
changeover to the standby primary pump in the event of failure of the
running pump (via differential pressure sensors). The primary
pumps shall be automatically scheduled by the BMCS to change
over in their sequence of starting (i.e., once per week - adjustable)
so that even wear is placed upon all 5 No. primary pumps.

9 March 2007
3.6.1.3 When the BMCS calls for cooling, as determined by a rise in the
primary return chilled water temperature above the setpoint (initial
setting 13C), 1 No. chiller shall be started by the BMCS in the
auto mode. The BMCS shall sequence the order of the starting of
the chillers on a weekly basis to provide even wear on all 4
chillers. When the first of four chillers is given the command to
start, 1 No. primary pump shall be started and the motorised valve
at the inlet to the chiller shall be sequenced open. When the
chillers flow switch has signalled proper chilled water flow, the
chiller shall be started.
3.6.1.4 After a time delay of 15 minutes (adjustable), if the return primary
chilled water is still above the setpoint, the BMCS shall signal the
next chiller in sequence to start. If the primary return water
temperature falls below 12C (adjustable) after 15 minutes, 1 No.
chiller shall be turned off. This control sequence is to be repeated
until all 4 No. chillers are in operation or all 4 No. chillers are off.
The chillers shall control their own discharge temperatures via their
factory controls. The initial setting for the chilled water discharge
temperature is 5C. Chilled water discharge temperatures from the
chillers shall be capable of remote re-set from the BMCS (co-
ordinate with the chiller manufacturer).
3.6.1.5 The chilled water systems serving the tower and the podium each
have 1 No. duty and 1 No. standby pump (P-11A, P-11B, P-12A, 1
2B, 13A, 13B, 14A, 14B,15A,15B,16A,16B). All pumps have variable
frequency motor drives (VFDs) to vary the secondary chilled water
flows in response to the loads. The VFDs for pumps P-11, P-12
and P-13 shall vary the flow into the primary side of the plate heat
exchangers (PHX-1A, PHX-1B, PHX-2A, PHX-2B, PHX-3A, PHX-3B)
to maintain the secondary side chilled water supply temperatures
(see Drawing M-202 for initial temperature setpoints).
3.6.1.6 The VFDs for the pumps on the secondary side of the plate heat
exchangers shall be controlled by the pressures in the chilled water
systems. Pressure sensors located 2/3 of the distance in the piping
system from the pump.
3.6.1.7 All valves serving the fan coil units, air handling units and fresh air
units shall be 2-port modulating valves to ensure the VFDs throttle
the pumps to the lowest setting. VFDs shall have a minimum
flowrate of 15 HZ. All pumps shall be started by the BMCS in the
auto mode at low speed and shall ramp up and down as required to
meet the loads. The secondary chilled water pumps consist of run
and standby pumps which shall be controlled via the BMCS to
provide auto changeover in the event of failure of the running pump
(via differential pressure sensors). The run pump shall also be
automatically scheduled to change over (i.e., once per week -
adjustable).

3.6.1.8 The secondary chilled water pumps shall act under the dictates of
pressure differential sensors across the chilled water flow and return
pipework of the circuit via the frequency inverter drives. Each pump
shall have a dedicated variable speed drive with an automatic
bypass to allow the pump(s) to run at 100% should any variable
speed drive unit fail.
3.6.1.9 The chilled water system shall be pressurised via packaged
pressurisation units consisting of expansion vessels, run and
standby pumps, break tank and integral controls. The unit shall
operate 24 hours per day acting under its integral controls to
maintain the system within the required static head. The BMCS shall
monitor the pressurisation unit and monitor all alarm conditions (i.e.,
low pressure/high pressure/pump failure, low water level in break
tank, etc.) via volt free contacts.Should excessive low or high
pressure exist, an alarm signal shall be initiated.
3.6.2 Cooling Towers
3.6.2.1 The 4 No. cooling towers located on the podium roof shall be
interlocked with the chiller plant operation through the BMCS. When
the BMCS calls for the operation of 1 No. chiller in the auto mode in
the sequence described above, 1 No. condenser water pump shall
be activated and 1 No. cooling tower shall be activated. When the
chiller flow switch senses flow through the condenser and the
evaporator, the chiller shall be started (as described above).
3.6.2.2 The fans in the cooling tower will be controlled to maintain the
schedulled leaving condenser water temperature. When the BMCS
calls for the number of chillers in operation to be increased, the
corresponding number of cooling towers will be started. As chillers
are turned off, the cooling towers will be turned off in sequence. The
BMCS shall change the starting sequences for the 4 No. condenser
water pumps (P-1, 2, 3 & 4) and the 4 No. cooling towers (CT-1, 2, 3
& 4) on a weekly basis to ensure even wear on the equipment.
3.6.3 Office and Retail Fan Coil Units
3.6.3.1 The office Fan Coil Units (FCUs) will be monitored by the BMCS,
with the BMCS having the ability to remotely control the FCU
operation. The FCUs shall have individual factory-provided
standalone DDC controls.
3.6.3.2 The fan coil unit controls shall operate on 24 volts AC derived from a
transformer local to each fan coil unit. The space temperature shall
be scheduled by the space temperature sensor controlling the
