Commercial University Chiller Plants in Anaheim

Turnkey Services for University Chilled Water Plants

We support the full lifecycle of campus central plants in Anaheim—from planning and design to startup, optimization, and long‑term maintenance. Whether you operate a research facility, performing arts center, or multi‑building academic core, our engineers tailor solutions that match your loads, schedules, and budgets.

• Design/build and design‑assist for new and expanded chiller plants
• Retrofits: high‑efficiency chillers, cooling towers, VFD pumps, and heat exchangers
• Optimization: variable primary flow, condenser water reset, tower fan staging
• Controls integration: BACnet, campus BMS, and clear sequences of operation
• Retro‑commissioning and continuous monitoring for verified savings
• Water treatment, filtration, and chemistry management
• N+1 resiliency planning and critical redundancy for labs and data rooms
• Emergency repairs, temporary cooling, and load management

Engineering First: 80+ Years of Experience Applied

As a 4th‑generation engineering family, we start with measured data and fundamentals. Our team completes load profiling, delta‑T analysis, pump head validation, and coil performance checks to eliminate low delta‑T syndrome and recover capacity. We right‑size chillers, match tower approach temperatures, and tune control logic to minimize kW/ton while preserving comfort across lecture halls and labs.

Our engineers have trained at OEM facilities including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). We apply factory insights to field realities—proper sensor placement, stable loop differentials, and robust failover sequences—so your plant runs smoothly in real‑world conditions.

AC PRO-Ready Procurement and Fast Turnaround

To shorten lead times and keep campuses running, we work seamlessly with the AC PRO distribution network in Southern California. That means rapid access to OEM‑grade components, coils, air handlers, valves, drives, and accessories that integrate cleanly with your existing central plant. You get fewer delays, tighter logistics, and faster return to service.

Note: We do not imply manufacturer training or endorsement beyond our OEM training listed above; our AC PRO integration focuses on sourcing and compatibility to support uptime and performance.

Energy, Compliance, and Funding Support

We help universities navigate Title 24 requirements, utility incentives, and campus sustainability goals. Our team performs energy modeling, life‑cycle cost analysis, and controls optimization to capture rebates and reduce operating costs. We also coordinate with local permitting authorities and align projects with South Coast AQMD and regional best practices where applicable.

• Title 24 alignment and documentation support
• Utility rebate preparation and M&V (measurement and verification)
• Sequence of operation tuning for demand response
• Thermal storage and load shifting strategies

Healthy Indoor Air for Healthy Learning

Our mission is healthy air for healthy life. For universities, that means stable temperature and humidity control, adequate ventilation, and proper filtration that supports cognitive performance and occupant well‑being. We design for correct coil selection, dehumidification where needed, and filtration strategies that complement your central plant without sacrificing efficiency.

Maintenance Plans Built for Campuses

University plants never sleep. We offer proactive maintenance plans that reduce unplanned outages and preserve warranty conditions:

• Quarterly plant inspections and vibration analysis
• Chiller tube cleaning, eddy current testing, and refrigerant health checks
• Pump alignment, seal and bearing service, and VFD health logs
• Tower basin cleaning, media maintenance, and water chemistry balance
• Sensor calibration and BMS point verification
• Emergency 24/7 dispatch with spare parts staging and temporary cooling options

Optimization and Retro-Commissioning

Most plants have untapped savings. We correct valve authority issues, restore coil performance, and implement smart resets (CHWS, DP, and condenser water) to minimize energy while maintaining comfort. Expect lower kW/ton, reduced short‑cycling, and more stable lecture hall temperatures.
