SCOPE OF WORK
1. Survey of the existing HVAC

System.

2. Basic Design Engineering

a. Heat load calculation
b. Chiller and pumps Selection
c. AHU selection
d. SLD of the HVAC System
1. Survey of the existing HVAC
System.
During the site visit it was observed that the existing
system consisting of DX based chiller unit with 63 TR
capacity for old building and package unit for new
building is not delivering the required cooling and was
not designed as per the OISD 211 guideline with
10 – 12 ACPH.
As per the requirement of IOCL it is decided to
replace the existing system with once thru chilled
water system following OISD 211 STD. having a
common chiller for the old and new building.

b. Chiller and Pump selection

Chiller
Based on combined heating load requirement of
both building is 182 TR. A Chiller unit is formally
selected of 200 TR capacity.

The type of chiller selected is screw because

of its compact size, low noise level, lower
maintenance cost and high energy efficiency.
Pumps

Chilled water pumps

Based on the operating tonnage capacity of

chillers, water flow quantity in Gallons per
minute is selected.

The selected GPM for the pump is 480 against

the pressure head of 25 meter.
Condenser water Pumps

water flow quantity in Gallons per minute

is selected for the condenser water pump
is 640 GPM

The type of the pump is horizontal centrifugal.

c. AHU selection

The AHU is selected as per the dehumidified

CFM calculated

Air Velocity across the coil is maintained at

500 FPM as per the standard.

Number of rows of the coils is selected as per the

calculation of CFM per TR obtained.
Followings are the range as per standard for
selecting rows of the AHU coils

1. 0 – 225 CFM / TR = 8 Row coil

2. 226 – 400 CFM / TR = 6 Row coil

3. 400 – onward CFM / TR = 4 Row coil
