    Small Chill Water System

    Thanks everyone. We will keep the in row unit connected to the building chill water system. We'll just open the isolation valves if needed. I do have a vendor that can put together a standard residential condensing unit with low ambient control(s). I am already seriously considering a walk in...

    Small Chill Water System

    We presently have an APC In Row chilled water unit that is supplied from our main building chiller system. Works great until the power goes down. The building chiller is not on our generator circuit. I am going to keep the APC unit and supply chill water from a different source that is supplied...

One contractor wants to install suction accumulators and oil separators. Two other contractors would not bid on...

    Above ceiling as return plenum

    Is it normal to use the area above a suspended ceiling as a return plenum? We have a large building with several rooms and zones with no return ducting at all. It seems to me we are picking up a lot of heat in the summer (losing heat in winter). Just curious.

    Repair or replace old recip ACCUs

    We have a sixteen year old Carrier Split System with a leaking condenser (original compressors I believe)and a twenty year old Trane RAUB ACCU (one of two that serve the same AHU)that has a bad compressor. First, should I replace the evaporator coils if I replace the condensing units and in the...
