Cooling Tower and Chiller Replacements
Two new infrastructure upgrades to Georgetown University’s central utility plant will support the campus’ growth and needs while promoting energy efficiency and meeting sustainability goals.
The first involves the replacement of several cooling towers and their associated condenser water pumps. The cooling towers have a total nominally rated heat rejection capacity of 13,000 tons for serving electric-driven centrifugal chillers within the central utility plant (CUP). Three are 3-cell type 3000-ton cooling towers, and two are 2-cell type 2000-ton cooling towers. One existing 2,000-ton chiller will be replaced with a new 3,500-ton electric motor-driven centrifugal chiller.
The second entails replacing an existing 2,000-ton chiller with a new 3,500-ton electric motor-driven centrifugal chiller. The new chiller will be served by several other cooling towers already under design and replacement by Mueller.
The existing cooling towers and chillers being replaced in these projects were designed by Mueller and installed in 1995.
