The Situation
First, our team had to install several new sensors which were needed for the added features of the control panel. This work included drilling and tapping into new sensor wells. We installed and integrated the MCS panel to the chiller and we were able to eliminate the antiquated start pot overloads along with mechanical transition timers within the starter cabinet.
Our Approach
We designed a comprehensive upgrade that replaced the obsolete control panel with a modern MCS control system. The new panel provided improved reliability, remote monitoring capabilities, and enhanced safety features while extending the useful life of the existing chiller infrastructure.
The Work
- Installation of new MCS control panel system
- Addition of multiple new sensors for enhanced monitoring
- Drilling and tapping for new sensor well installations
- Complete integration with existing chiller unit
- Elimination of outdated start pot overloads
- Replacement of mechanical transition timers
- Integration with building automation system
Special Coordination Requirements
The upgrade required coordination with building operations to minimize disruption to office tenants. Work was scheduled during off-peak hours and phased to maintain building comfort throughout the installation process.
