Each building shall have dedicated chiller plant room to cater the chilled water requirements of
the respective building. The central air conditioning system shall consist of water chilling units,
multiple primary chilled water pumps, secondary chilled water pumps with variable frequency
drives, air handling units and fan coil units, chilled water piping with accessories, air distribution

foundation and shall be provided with anti-vibratory supports.
Standards and Codes:
1. ARI 550/590 - Water Chilling Packages Using the Vapor Compression Cycle
2. ARI 370 – Sound Rating of Large Outdoor Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Equipment
3. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 – Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration
4. ASHRAE 34 – Number Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants
5. ASHRAE 90.1 – Energy Standard for Buildings except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
6. Manufactured in facility registered to ISO 9002

The cooling tower has been selected to meet the demands of varying periods. When the cooling
demand varies, the balancing valve provided for the cooling tower will adjust accordingly to
satisfy the cooling requirements. And fans of cooling towers are provided with variable
 frequency drives which measures condenser water temperatures to meet the varying demands. A motor without a VFD operates at a constant speed. When full power isn’t needed, the motor

brigade or other trained personnel and provide means of delivering considerable quantities of
water to extinguish or to prevent the spread of fire. Hose reels delivering smaller quantities of
water can be operated even by untrained persons and can be more rapidly brought into action
