Project Highlights & Results

To establish N+1 chilled water redundancy for the campus, Elara identified the need
to expand chiller and cooling tower capacity at the central CHW plant due to the
growing campus demand and lack of redundancy within the existing plant.
In addition to the installation of a new high efficiency chiller and cooling tower,
the project included refurbishing existing cooling tower cells with new fill media,
spray nozzles, and inlet screens; and cleaning the existing chillers, repairing existing
structural steel, and upgrading the electrical service.
The sequence of operation for the entire central chilled water plant was updated to
achieve optimal operational performance.
