Christine Detz, product management, centrifugal chillers, building technologies and solutions, Johnson Controls, and Kaitlin Logan, product and strategy manager, Johnson Controls, introduce the new product at the 2020 AHR Expo.
The Stuart C. Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), located in Richmond, Virginia, is mostly known for its sold-out men’s basketball games, but it also hosts several other events and activities.
Eliminating oil from the chiller improves performance and reduces maintenance, providing up to $3,650 in annual maintenance costs associated with maintaining the complex oil management system.
The 65-foot-tall, 134,000-square-foot laboratory consists of 10 testing chambers, allowing AAON to meet and maintain Air-Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) certifications.
Many decisions are made during the design of a chilled water plant that have long-lasting impacts on the facility’s energy use and demand. Additionally, consistent operations, benchmarking, and submetering can help perpetuate savings throughout a building’s life cycle.
