The Hopkins Facility
Welcome to the Hopkins Facility.
This is a single story facility with the chiller plant at ground level in a mechanical room. The AHU and Cooling Towers are in the roof with the AHU in their own penthouses.
This plant has two water cooled centrifugal chillers.
- CH1 is a YK
- CH2 is a CVHE
These chillers have a primary/secondary chilled water loop design. The condenser water loop is a common header with 2 cooling towers.
The chillers and towers are configured in parallel with the control system (BMS) using lead/lag logic.
There is 1 primary chilled water pump (CHWP) per chiller. There are 4 secondary CHWP on a common header.
The loop serves 4 air handling units (AHU) for comfort cooling of the facility. The AHU are cooling only with fan powered boxes (FPB).
Controls System (BMS) Setpoints:
- Chilled Water Setpoint (CHWSP) 44F
- Condenser Water Setpoint (CWSP) 80F
- Chilled Water Loop Differential Pressure Setpoint (CHLDPSP) 10psid
- Supply Air Temp Setpoint (SASP) 55F
- Zone/Space Temp Setpoint (ZTSP) 73F average
- Supply Air Duct Static Pressure
- Setpoint (SSSP) 1.2”
