Market for chiller services comes of age January 2021

21.01.2021 10 min

For far too many years now, the people of the Gulf and Middle East have had to accept sub-standard work from manufacturer’s local agents when it comes to the service and repair of centrifugal and screw liquid chillers. In most cases, the response time is slow, the prices for services are greatly inflated and most importantly the engineers are not qualified, trained or certified to service and repair the chillers they are supposed to be representing.

License to Chill - October 2020

It’s great to be back in Dubai! I was in the United States in January, and we were starting a major retro-commissioning project of the 45,000 RT Harvard Medical Center District Energy Plant. In March, when COVID-19 was starting to have a major outbreak in the Boston area, we were forced to stop the project and demobilise. The team of US Chiller Services engineers and I were forced to quarantine in the United States, until we could all get back to Dubai. I came back on July 30. I was not even back for one week when someone called me requesting assistance, as their chillers were not meeting the Design Chilled Water Set Point. As I knew, it was uncomfortably warm and humid. I immediately asked what his entering condenser water temperature was and was told it was 37 degrees C. I asked a few more questions, such as if he knew the wet bulb design of his cooling towers, and I realised that despite being an experienced engineer, he was unsure of some of what I was asking.

License to Chill - March 2019

Many years ago, a particular OEM used to offer a packaged air-cooled centrifugal chiller. The chiller was a great piece of technology, because the centrifugal compressor in it was able to operate at rather high ambient conditions. In no time, the aircooled centrifugal chillers were everywhere – on standalone buildings and installed as part of large central chilled water plant.

Improper shaft alignment can prove costly Many a plant inspection/survey has revealed that in almost every instance – pumps, motors, compressors, tower fans – you name the equipment, it’s almost always out of alignment. From newly commissioned equipment to plants that have been in service for years, the findings are always the same – shaft alignment is not correct.

Good Intentions, Bad Results In the January 2018 issue of Climate Control Middle East magazine, I wrote about an energy company implementing an energy-control strategy on centrifugal chillers that was ill-conceived and was causing massive damage to the centrifugal chillers. Here, I am again revisiting the subject of improperly implementing energy-saving projects on centrifugal chillers, as yet again I have come across an energy company that had good intentions but, ultimately, implemented a control savings programme on a centrifugal chiller plant, which was implemented incorrectly, thus causing occupant comfort issues and not meeting savings projections, resulting in detrimental chiller operation and potential catastrophic chiller damage.
