Project #9 – Chiller Replacement
Scope of Work:
The Challenge: Aging Chiller Plant Replacement
An aging chiller plant built around four Multistack modular chillers had reached the end of service life. The system presented multiple challenges:
- Declining efficiency and higher operating costs
- Limited flexibility for future system controls and optimization
- Aging electrical and piping infrastructure
TurboChyll delivered a turnkey modular chiller replacement, upgrading four legacy Multistack units to four new 30-ton Aermec modular chillers. The scope included engineering and design coordination, turnkey installation, electrical, insulation and piping upgrades, and preparation for future building management system (BMS) integration. A Phase 2 planned to add new condenser and chilled water pumps with VFDs to improve efficiency.
Delivered Results & Impact
- Modernized, high-efficiency modular chiller plant
- Lower risk of downtime and emergency repairs
- Infrastructure aligned with modern standards and future controls
- Scalable design supporting VFD upgrades and BMS integration
- Clear path to ongoing energy savings and performance gains

The 20th floor return air system relied on an outdated tubular inline fan assembly that no longer provided reliable airflow or efficient operation.
This project transformed an aging, high-risk heat exchanger into a stabilized, documented, and leak-free system, preventing failure, extending the life of a 1999 asset, and avoiding costly replacement.
Building is renovating space to become a New Resident’s lounge area with an outdoor terrace area.
Disassemble and remove existing 10 Ton Main for Rack Room Chilled Water Air handling unit and properly dispose of.
This project involved assessing, refurbishing, and upgrading components of existing air handling units to extend their operational lifespan, improve energy efficiency and maintain indoor air quality without a full replacement.
The client informed TurboChyll of the necessity for additional cooling in their upscale night club, which features an expansive hot tub. In response, TurboChyll implemented a VRF system to regulate humidity levels.
Client advised TurboChyll that the Fan Motor Shaft had final broke and it was time to replace the Cooling Tower entirely.
Improved operating efficiency by operating at the fan's best efficiency point and using speed control.
