Chiller Panel Upgrade

Advanced control system upgrade extends 30-year-old chiller life with remote monitoring capabilities and enhanced safety features.

Client

Commercial Office Building Management

Location

Metro Atlanta High Rise Office Building

Project Type

Chiller Control System Upgrade

Facility Type

High-Rise Commercial Office Building

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  • Elimination of outdated start pot overloads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.

Key Challenges

  • 30-year-old chiller with obsolete control panel
  • Poor reliability and ongoing control issues
  • Safety protection features not meeting current standards
  • Difficulty finding replacement parts for repairs
  • Customer not prepared to replace entire chiller system

Our Solution

  • 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  • Elimination of outdated start pot overloads and mechanical timers

The Results

Our controls and services teams were able to successfully control all chiller functions as well as integrate the MCS panel into the building automation system. This project was a huge success and our customer has a new control panel plus the ability to monitor their chiller remotely with better control and visibility from the BAS.
