Establishment of 2000TR capacity Central Water Chilling Plant-2 at IGCAR.

• Central Water Chilling Plant-II [CWCP-II] is established by Air-Conditioning & Ventilation System Division [AC&VSD] to augment the central air-conditioning infrastructure of IGCAR. CWCP-II is designed to house 4 Nos. of 750TR water cooled chiller and 3 Nos. of 375TR air cooled chillers. The piping system is designed to take up an operating air-conditioning load of 2000 TR in the future. The new plant will cater to the air-conditioning demand of existing buildings such as Training School and Training Centre, Material Science Laboratory (MSL), Material development laboratory (MDL), Condensed Matter Physical Laboratory (CMPL), Particle Irradiation Facility (PIF), Electronics and Instrumentation Laboratory (EIL), HomiBhabha Building and also to meet the AC loads of buildings with standalone package and unitary AC systems after their useful life.

Re-commissioning of cooling towers at CWCP-I.

• The 16 cells of each 250 TR capacity induced draft cross flow Cooling tower at CWCP-1 was revamped with new PVC fills and new structural items for improving efficiency of cooling towers.

Commissioning of 2 nos of 660TR FRP cooling towers in CWCP-I.

• 2 nos of 660 TR FRP induced draft cross flow cooling towers were added to central water chilling plant-1 for augmenting the condenser cooling circuit for meeting the additional AC loads in future.

Commissioning of MDL- MSL building segment chilled water piping.

• As a part of revamping of underground chilled water piping network, the MSL-MDL segment underground chilled water piping network was resized, re-routed and replaced with pre-insulated chilled water pipes. About 1500 metres of chilled water pipes were replaced including valves and fitting. The piping was extended to provide chilled water to INSOT, Hall-III, SGTF, MTD building in future.

Commissioning of CDO- PIF building segment chilled water piping.

• As a part of revamping of underground chilled water piping network, the CDO-PIF segment underground chilled water piping network was resized and replaced with pre-insulated chilled water pipes. About 1900 metres of chilled water pipes were replaced including valves and fitting. The piping network was extended to provide chilled water to PIF Extension, CMPL, RTSD building in future.

Energy Efficient Air-conditioning system for TS&TC (375 TR), Engg. Hall-IV (50 TR):

• An efficiently controlled and monitored air-conditioning system was installed and commissioned to meet the following requirements.
  • Maintain comfort conditions of 24±1°C, 55±5% RH.
  
  
  • Provision to maintain different comfort conditions in class rooms based on occupancy, seasonal requirement etc.
  
  

• The air-conditioning system consists of double skinned air handling units, chilled water pumps with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) microprecesor controlled Variable Air Volume control dampers (VAV).

Commissioning of FBTR- RML-Computer centre building segment chilled water piping

• The underground chilled water header lines of 450 NB and 350 NB were replaced with new pre-insulated pipes for about 1000 m to save water and energy
