monitoring the building system to be as per attached schematic diagram
C. Tabreed will provide one metering station for each ETS room on tabreed side only.
D. The Energy Transfer Station (ETS) plant space to be as per Tabreed requirements
E. Configuration and arrangements of Tabreed PHE’S and Tabreed piping work will be
designed& constructed &supervised and approved by Tabreed as per Tabreed
requirements and specifications
F. Configuration and arrangements of building side equipments and piping will be
designed by the building designer as per Tabreed requirements and constructed
under the building contract
G. All works associated with the construction of tunnels, ducts, sleeves or trenches to
accommodate District Cooling Water mains between the Energy Transfer Station
and Plot Boundary shall be designed by the building designer as per Tabreed
requirements and constructed under the building contract to the approval of the
DCWS provider (Tabreed).
H. The District cooling pipe work will utilize Pre-insulated carbon-steel
I. Building system maximum working pressures shall be provided by the building
designer to Tabreed: to allow Tabreed to identify the pressure rating for Tabreed

SCOPE OF WORK

The scope or limit of work of Tabreed and that of our CUSTOMER is defined as per the
attached schematics. Tabreed CUSTOMER are kindly advised to adhere to the following
design requirements to ensure successful implementation of District Cooling.

TABREED SCOPE OF WORK

1- Tabreed will supply & install the heat exchanger and all required piping connection from
Tabreed’s side as per attached schematic.

2- All industrial controls and automation, including programmable logical controller (PLC),
instrumentation and wiring as per this guide and attached schematic.

THE CUSTOMER SCOPE OF WORK (Building Side )

1- To provide 3 phase electric power supply to the ETS. 50A

2- A water supply line of 1 1/4” (32 mm) is required for filling the customer side piping
system and as a make up for the required pressurization / expansion pump set tank.

3- Drain Connection to the nearest external manhole.

4- Modify (if necessary & where applicable) and install all piping, insulation and valves on
the CUSTOMER (building) side of the ETS, as per the attached schematic.

5- Supply and install the variable speed pumps for distribution.

6- Supply and install pressurization / expansion tank pumps sets.

7- To supply and install one or two number differential pressure transmitters usually located
across the far end chilled water pipes of an air handling unit utilizing a 2-way modulating
motorized valve. The customer should wire this transmitter(s) to the plantroom PLC.

8- Supply and install a motor control center (MCC) in the electric room that incorporates:

a) Main Circuit Breaker.

b) Variable Frequency drives for the chilled water pumps.
c) Capacitor banks for power correction.
d) Distribution Board (DB) for ETS room lighting and receptacles.

9- Supply and install two numbers Temperature Transmitter on the Chilled Water mains as
per attached schematic.

10- Tabreed CUSTOMER to furnish and install Chilled water treatment system including
manual feed chemicals dozing pot with the necessary rust inhibitors and biocides quantity
necessary for testing, commissioning and operation. A specialized professional company
shall handle the water treatment system.

11- Install industrial grade automatic air vents (1”) at the highest point(s) in the customer’s
(building) piping system.

12- CUSTOMER (building ) will build the E.T.S and all associated civil work with the E.T.S
room, equipment bases and piping trenches

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL CONDITIONS

DISTRICT COOLING REQUIREMENT

(1)Cooling Capacity Requirement: To be confirmed by building

CONSULTANT.
(2)Pipe Connection Size: Depends on load.

(3)Design temperature diagram on Tabreed PHE

(3-1) Temperature diagram on Tabreed side (Tabreed PHE cold side) is
(A) Tabreed Supply chilled water temperature 40OF (4.44 OC)
(B) Tabreed Return chilled water temperature 56OF (13.33OC)
(3-2) Temperature diagram on Building side (Tabreed PHE hot side) is
(A) Building Supply chilled water temperature 42OF (5.56 OC)
(B) Building Return chilled water temperature 58OF (14.44OC)

Chilled water flow depends on load.

Maximum variation in Tabreed supply

Chilled water temperature is + / - 1.8OF (1.0OC)

Minimum acceptable building return chilled

Water temperature is 56OF (13.33OC)

Maximum acceptable building return chilled

Water temperature is 60OF (15.56 OC)

Pressure drop inside Tabreed PHE is 0.7 bar

Design water velocities / Pressure drops

• Pipe size 2” and smaller Min = 1.5 ft/sec, Max 4 ft /sec
• Pipe size 2 1/2” and larger Min = .75 ft / 100 ft, Max 4 ft / 100ft

Particular Requirements: How To Achieve The Above Conditions?

1- Building designer will design building air side equipment and chilled water piping using
the above chilled water temperatures .for building side

2- By designing the control system around variable flow chilled water system using two way
equal percentage control valves for all air handling units and fan coil units. Air Handling
units above 2,000 CFM shall have modulating equal percentage type. Fan Coil units with
capacity equal and smaller than 2,000 CFM can be on/off or modulating type.

3- The Air handling units and fan coil units at the end of the faraway circuits should have
three way control valves to avoid chilled water stagnation and allow for the minimum

pump flow. The number of air handling units or fan coil units designed for using three way
control valve should correspond to a maximum chilled water flow of 10% of full design
flow. The bypass on the three-way valve should have a double regulating valve to do
proper balancing and shut off of the bypass whenever the system requires that.

4- All Air handling units, Fan coil units and main branches shall have a double regulating
balancing valve with self sealing test point used for chilled water flow measurement
required during balancing and commissioning. During commissioning phase the customer
