PART 2 — PRODUCTS
2.01
CHILLER MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS
A. General: Install and commission, as shown on the
schedules and plans, factory assembled, charged,
and tested air cooled screw compressor chiller(s) as
specified herein. Chiller shall be designed, selected,
and constructed using a refrigerant with Flammabil-
ity rating of “1”, as defined by ANSI/ASHRAE STAN-
DARD-34
Number Designation and Safety Classifi-
cation of Refrigerants. Chiller shall include, but is not
limited to: a complete system with not less than two
independent refrigerant circuits, semihermetic twin
screw compressors, direct expansion type evapora-
tor, air-cooled condenser, refrigerant, lubrication sys-
tem, interconnecting wiring, safety and operating
controls including capacity controller, control center,
motor starting components, and special features as
specified herein or required for safe, automatic op-
eration.
B. Cabinet: External structural members shall be con-
structed of heavy gauge, galvanized steel coated with
baked on powder paint which, when subject to ASTM
B117, 500 hour, 5% salt spray test, yields minimum
ASTM 1654 rating of “6”.
2.02
COMPRESSORS AND MOTORS
A. Compressors: Shall be direct drive, semihermetic,
rotary twin-screw type, including: internal muffler, tem-
perature actuated ‘off-cycle’ heater, rain-tight termi-
nal box, internal discharge check, discharge and
suction shut-off service valves, and precision ma-
chined cast iron housing. Design working pressure
of entire compressor, suction to discharge, shall be
450 PSIG (31 bar). Compressor shall be U.L. listed.
B. Motors: Refrigerant suction gas cooled two-pole ac-
cessible hermetic compressor motor, full suction gas
flow through 0.006" maximum mesh screen, with in-
herent internal thermal overload protection and ex-
ternal current overload on all three phases. Motor
stator shall employ APT2000 type magnet wire.
C. Lubrication: External oil separators with no moving
or fragile parts, 450 PSIG design working pressure,
and UL listing. Refrigerant system differential pres-
sure shall provide oil flow through service replace-
able, 0.5 micron, full flow, cartridge type oil filter in-
ternal to compressor. Filter bypass, less restrictive
media, or oil pump not acceptable.
D. Capacity Control: Compressors shall start at mini-
mum load position. Capacity control range from 100%
to 10% of chiller full load using continuous function
slide valves, and without hot gas bypass. Step un-
loading unacceptable. Provide Microprocessor con-
trolled, output pressure regulating capacity control
