The design must generate specifications and selection, including core and peripheral equipment covering some or all of the following areas:

• Chillers
• Condensing sections, cooling towers, air cooled condensers, fluid coolers, etc.
• Pumping/Hydronic systems, including primary and secondary cooling and condensing circuits, pumps, filters, valves, etc.
• Heat Exchangers and heat recovery equipment.
• Building Management Systems including seamless integration of existing legacy systems.
• Air handling equipment, including temperature and humidity control.
• Sizing and design of air distribution systems including ducts, registers, diffusers, dampers, etc.
• Piping and water distribution design and components.
• Air quality control including filters appropriate for the application as well as indoor air quality devises.
• Energy analysis and audits.
• Economic analysis with system comparisons and payback
• Budgetary analysis.InterClima Corporation can provide design solution as well as equipment selection support to independent consulting engineers, if the customer so desires. This equipment selection process is critical since it requires experience in not only to select the correct piece of equipment but also needs to take into account the actual operating field condition for each individual application.

With the Chilled water system design completed, the installation and implementation stage begins. At this point equipment selection and options are optimized and finalized. Chilled water systems are complex and not only require the correct selection of the water chiller but also of all the peripheral components like pumps, piping system, heat exchangers and controls necessary to meet the specific cooling and efficiency goals.

On commercial air conditioning applications, package or split direct expansion systems are often used, these require the correct sizing of evaporators and condensing units as well as refrigerant lines and air distributions ducts. This becomes even more critical with the growth and implementation of commercial Variable Refrigerant Systems or VRF where the correct selection of components is a lot more critical than in traditional DX systems.

It is very important to make sure that the equipment procured is covered by a strong aftermarket support as well as an international warranty. Most manufactures require that systems be commissioned by a certified factory technician and that a thorough pre-startup check list be complied with. After the units are started the technician generates a start-up report and a warranty certificate. This phase is essential since it not only assures the customer that the cooling system is installed correctly but also certifies that the warranty coverage is active. Always insist that your local dealer provides this service and support.

Remember that the manufacturing process is sometimes long and depending on the options selected can takes not less than eight weeks from the time the order is placed at the factory, to that you have to add transportation as well as installation time. Working with an experience company like InterClima Corporation can insure the quickest delivery to the jobsite. Do not hesitate to contact our sales department for you next quotation.

Over the years our customers have increasingly relayed in our export and procurement services especially under emergency situations, from a difficult to find spare part to a complete HVAC system, InterClima if their once- source solution. Over the last 25 years, we have developed a wide worldwide network of contacts and suppliers as well as logistic partners that allow us to find and transport parts and components from to virtually any place in the world.

Once the chillers are installed and commissioned, one of the most critical stages begins, ensuring dependable long-term operation on your cooling system. For this a sound preventive maintenance program needs to be implemented which includes a series of service routines following strict manufacture’s procedures. These routines need to be implemented by factory certified technicians to make sure that equipment warranty is not compromised. It is also recommended that a list of basic spare parts be purchased and kept at the installation site, these parts will not only be used in the maintenance of the units but will also reduce any possible downtime if a common part is needed.

All units sold by INTERCLIMA include Factory Start-Up as well as preventive maintenance for the first year of operation, longer terms can be negotiated thru comprehensive maintenance contract thru our sister company Factory Direct Service, for further information on FDS contact “The Chiller Experts…” at: info@chillerexperts.com
