Scope of Work:

CMS worked closely with UCSD and Bechard and Associates to supply the chillers forthe 5000 ton CPE-3 central chilled water plant expansion.

In the central plant design, we used a combination of steam turbine and electric driven centrifugal chillers to provide UCSD with maximum flexibility and energy efficiency for operation of the main central plant for the University. The expansion consisted of a 3000 ton steam turbine driven centrifugal chiller which is base loaded and handles the majority of the daily cooling requirements. The second chiller is a 2000 ton electric driven centrifugal which handles load peaks and off-hour requirements. Both machines were selected to be able to produce 39 degree chilled water, which is supplied to a large thermal storage tank and then distributed throughout the campus. Also, the machines will operate at any load condition with entering condenser water temperature as low as 55 degrees for maximum operating efficiency.
