Environmental stewardshipLikeallCenTraVacchillers, theTraneSeries S chiller’s leak-tight low-pressure refrigerant design combined with its industry-leading energy efficiency make it the most environmentally sustainable chiller in the world, helping customers earnmoreLEED® credits. Direct-drive CenTraVac™ chillers are designed to use a low-pressure refrigerant. This means the chillers operate in a vacuum, which virtually eliminates leaks and enables near-zero emissions throughout their operational life. That is a win in terms of the direct environmental impact of the refrigerant, minimizing the Ozone DepletionPotential (ODP)andGlobalWarmingPotential(GWP).

Making Buildings Better for LifeIn fact, Trane is so confident in its ability to keep the refrigerant inside our CenTraVac chillers that we back each one with a leak-tight warranty for all CenTraVac chillers installed in the U.S. and Canada and extended for the life of the chiller when covered by a comprehensive Trane service agreement. Today’s Series S CenTraVac chiller contains more innovative solutions to boost performance and efficiency while maintaining higher levels of reliability and environmental sustainability than any other chiller on the market.

Simple vs Integrated Approach 簡便,還是綜合的方法好?

Recently, the government announced a new index, the “Air Quality Health Index” (AQHI), to replace the existing Air PollutionIndex.Thenewindex isconsideredtocommunicatethe health risks of pollution more effectively, as shown in Figure1.Thehealtheffectsofairpollutiondependon theconcentrations of the air pollutants and the duration of exposure. Exposure to moderately high pollution levels for a short period will not normally lead to significant health problems. The risk factors of each pollutant were obtained from local health studies. The biggest advancement is the connection of health risk with the pollution data, such as ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulatematter (PM2.5/PM10).1 This is an integrated approach.

A few years ago, I obtained LEED-AP, but I have beenstruggling. At one time, I decided to keep it simple (i.e. without a specialty), but in October this year, I finally upgraded myself toLEED-APwithspecialtyBD+C.Well, Iunderstand Ihaveto invest more money and time to maintain the credential, but this also drives me to stay current on the green building movement. In other words, we have to make an effort to protect the environment. There is a cost behind simplicity, convenienceorcomfort.Infact,theUSGBChasalsomadeaneffort to recognize various activities2inthedailylivesofLEEDprofessionals. For example:• by offer ing preferred courses and presentat ions

from registered providers, self-reported courses and presentations, college and university courses;

• countingpaidorunpaidworkonaregisteredproject;• creditingcontributionstoprintordigitalpublications;and• acknowledgingvoluntaryparticipation in theUSGBC, the

GBCIBoardofDirectors,steeringcommitteesorworkinggroups.

Life isalwaysabalancebetweensimplicityandcost, innotonly its economic sense but also at the cost of our next generations. We can never do the best, but we can always

do better. Early this year, I visited my friends at the Vietnam Green Building Council in Hanoi. I shared these samethoughts. Subsequently they made an effort to investigate a better approach to assess the environmental impact of refrigerant use in green buildings. Recently, I found that an integrated approach is adopted in their local green building rating system.3 An excerpt isshown inFigure2. Itconsiders“combinedatmospheric impact” due to the lifecycleODPandGWPof refrigerantuse in thebuilding,whichmeansthe refrigerant leakage/lossduringoperation should beincorporated in the calculation as well.

There is an even more comprehensive methodology for calculating the combined annual impact of any piece of electric-driven and refrigerant-based equipment:4

In this formula, not only are the refrigerantODP,GWPandleakageconsidered, but also theenergygeneration/useefficiency (b/Eff ), embodied energy (E) and fugitive emission (F) during the refrigerant production process are considered. While the b/Eff values are readily available, E/F values are not easily obtained today. It could be an enhanced approach for environmental assessment of the next gen refrigerants if the E/F values are made mandatory required data from the manufacturers.

Pleasedo not get me wrong. I am not promoting the above formula. All I am saying is that we should try not to take a simple approach while a better option is available, even if we have to make a little more effort. The same principle is illustrated above in different aspects. In developing the next gen chiller, as I mentioned in the last issue, we are taking even more challenges to find the right balance among economic, environmental and societal demands.5 They are well summarized in Figure 3.

最近,政府宣布了一個新空氣污染指數AQHI(空氣質量健康指數),以取代沿用近廿年的API指數。如圖1所示,新的指數相信可以更有效地表示污染對健康的危害。空氣污染對健康的影響視乎空氣中的污染物濃度和持續接觸的時間。在短期內暴露於中上污染水平通常不會導致嚴重的健康問題。每種污染物的風險系數均來自本地的健康研究。今次改變最大的進展應該是以健康為本,風險與污染數據掛鈎,例如臭氧(O3)、二氧化氮(NO2)、二氧化硫(SO2)和粒子(可吸入懸浮粒子PM2.5/微細懸浮粒子PM10)1。這是一個綜合的方法。

幾年前,我取得LEED-AP的資格,但一直在掙扎。曾有一次決定一切從簡(即是不追求專門類別),到了今年十月,卻終於升級至LEED-AP建築設計+建造(BD+C)的專門類別。當然,我明白我必須投入更多時間和金錢來維持這新的資歷,不過這也正好是我追上綠色建築潮流的動力呢。換句話說,保護環境必須付出努力。簡單、便利或舒適背後都附帶代價。事實上,美國綠色建築委員會(USGBC)也不斷付出努力,對LEED專業人士日常生活中的各種活動予以確認。2 例如:• 提供註冊認可的特選課程和演講、自修課程和演講、大

專及大學課程等;• 計算已登記項目的受薪或義務工作時間;• 印刷或數碼出版物的撰文給予加分;還有• 承認為美國綠色建築委員會、GBCI董事會、指導委員會

或其工作小組的義工服務。

人生活往往要在簡便與代價之間的尋求平衡點,代價不僅是經濟方面的含義,也是我們下一代要承受的代價。也許我們永遠不能做到最好,但我們總能做得更好。今年年初,我去河內拜訪了越南綠色建築委員會的朋友,當時也分享了這個理念。後來,他們亦付出了努力研究一個更好的方法來評估在綠色建築中使用製冷劑對環境的影響。最近,我發現當地的綠色建築評級系統採納了一個綜合方法,圖2顯示了有關的摘錄。3 該方法考慮到建築中使用製冷劑的生命週期ODP和GWP所造成的「綜合環境影響」。換言之,其計算必須包括使用過程製冷劑的洩漏/損耗。

其實,若要為任何一件電動和使用製冷劑的設備計算全年綜合影響,還有一個更全面的方法:4

在這個公式中,不僅考慮了製冷劑ODP、GWP值和洩漏率,而且還顧及產能/用能效率(b/Eff ),以及在製冷劑生產過程中的蘊含能量(E)和不易收集的排放(F)。b/Eff 值是現成交易取得,但 E/F 值卻不然。如果 E/F 值成爲常規的製造商數據,那麼此方法將有望普遍採用於下一代製冷劑的環境評估。

請勿誤會,我並不是在推廣上述公式。我所說的是,如果有一個更好的選擇可用,我們應該盡量避免簡便的方法,即使我們必須踏出多一步。上面不同角度演繹也是爲了説

明此原則。正如我在上一期中談及,開發下一代的冷水機組面對的挑戰更複雜,我們必須在經濟、環境和社會訴求之間尋求適合的平衡點。5 圖3正好總結了這些因素。

How does the Oil Lubrication Circulation work on a R123 Centrifugal Chiller? 機油的潤滑循環如何在R123離心式 冷水機組運作?

The CenTraVac Chiller is equipped with an “Oil Refrigerant Pump”foritscompressorlubricationandmotorcoolingsystem.It is a dual function system: one of the pumps circulates oil for compressor bearing lubrication and the other pump supplies liquid refrigerant for compressor motor cooling. In this issue, we will first look into how the oil lubrication circulation works.

The oil lubrication circulation consists of a regulating valve, filter, cooler and an oil tank housing a pump, a motor, a manifold and an oil separator within. The oil is pumped from the oil tank through an oil pressure regulating valve designed to maintain a netoilpressureof18-22psid.Theoilisfilteredandsenttotheoil cooler located inside the economizer, where liquid refrigerant passing from the condenser to the evaporator cools the oil. The oil leaves the oil cooler and flows to both the thrust and journal bearings. From the bearings, the oil return lines are routed

into a manifold and oil separator under the motor transporting the oil and some seal leakage refrigerant back to the oil tank. The gas flow exits the top of the manifold and is vented to the evaporator. Oil exits from the bottom of the manifold and returns to the tank. The CenTraVac Chiller is equipped with a dual eductor system which utilizing high-pressure conduction gas to draw the oil from the suction cover and the evaporator to the eductors and then the oil is discharged into the oil tank. The evaporator eductor line has a shut-off valve mounted by the evaporator and ships closed. Open up to two turns, if necessary.

Oil temperature in the oil tankWhenthechillerisoff,a750-wattheaterinawellintheoiltankisusedtowarmtheoil to ensure proper lubrication and prevent the refrigerant from condensing in the oil tank.Bydefault,theoilheaterisenergizedtomaintainatemperatureof140-145°F(60-63°C)whenthechillerisnotrunningandisde-energizedwhenthechillerstarts.Thetemperatureof theoil tank is typically100-160°F(38-72°C)whenthechilleris operating. Caution is required when working on certain areas of the chiller, as the surfacetemperaturemayexceed150°F(65°C).

Common faults related to the Oil Circulation NetworkCommonfaultsrelatedtotheoilcirculationnetworkare“LowDifferentialPressure”and“DifferentialOilPressureOverdue”.A dirty oil filter could cause these faults. Changing the filter could be a quick fix for the issue. However, a net oil pressure drop, failure to build up the oil pressure and erratic oil pressure could also be the result of a poor compressor bearing condition resulting from normal wear and tear under chiller operation over time. Therefore, an oil analysis should also be performed to verify the compressor bearing condition in order to determine if a compressor overhaul is needed.

CenTraVac冷水機組為其壓縮機的潤滑和馬達的冷卻系統配備了一個「機油兼冷媒泵」。該泵有雙重功能:其中一個泵循環機油,用於壓縮機的軸承潤滑,而另一個泵則針對壓縮機馬達的冷卻來供應液體冷媒。在本期,我們會先研究機油的潤滑循環如何運作。

機油循環系統包括一個調壓閥、過濾器、機油冷卻器和一個包括了油泵、摩打、岐管和油分離器的油槽。機油會從油槽通過油壓調節閥泵出,而油壓調節閥的設計旨在將淨油壓維持在18-22 PSID。機油會在過濾後傳送至位於節能器內的機油冷卻器,在其中,從冷凝器傳送到蒸發器的液體冷媒會冷卻機油。然後,機油會離開機油冷卻器,並同時流到止推軸承和徑向軸承。當機油完成軸承潤滑後,機油會從位於摩打底下的岐管進入油分離器,將機油從氣體冷媒中分離並送回油槽,而氣體冷媒則從歧管的頂部排往蒸發器。CenTraVac冷水機組配備了引流系統,用於回收吸氣端和蒸發器中剩餘的機油,並將這些機油重新送回油槽。此引流系統利用高壓冷凝氣體的流動,引導吸氣端和蒸發器中的機油回流到油槽內。蒸發器引流系統管路間設置了一個閥門,該閥門於出廠時處於關閉狀態。如有需要,可旋轉兩個圈將閥門打開。

油槽內的油溫當冷水機組處於停止運行狀態時,油槽內一個750瓦特的機油加熱器會加熱機油,防止冷媒在油槽內凝結以確保適當潤滑。在預設狀況下,當冷水機組未運行時,機油加熱器會通電,保持油槽在140-145°F (60-63°C),並在冷水機組啟動時斷電。當冷水機組運作時,油槽的溫度通常是100-160°F (38-72°C)。為冷水機組的某些區域工作時,由於表面溫度可能超過 150°F (65°C),必需特別謹慎。

與機油循環系統相關的常見故障與機油循環系統相關的常見故障有「低壓差」和「超時建立油壓」。骯髒的機油過濾器可能會導致這些故障。更換過濾器是該問題的快速解決方法。然而,機油淨壓力下降、未能建立機油壓力和不穩定的油壓也可能是基於機組在長時間運行下而產生正常磨損,導致不良壓縮機軸承狀態的結果。因此也應進行機油分析,驗證壓縮機軸承狀態,以確定是否需要進行全面的壓縮機檢修。
