Burbank Commercial University Chiller Plant Services — Amana Support

Universities demand central plants that are efficient, resilient, and safe. Our engineered approach aligns performance with academic calendars, budget cycles, and sustainability goals—minimizing downtime while maximizing total system value.

What we service and optimize

• Centrifugal, screw, and magnetic‑bearing chillers (air‑ and water‑cooled)
• Cooling towers, make‑up water, drift eliminators, and basin hygiene
• Primary/secondary and variable primary pumping with VFDs
• Plate‑and‑frame heat exchangers and heat recovery loops
• Thermal energy storage (TES) and demand management strategies
• Campus distribution piping, differential pressure control, and hydronic balancing
• BAS/BMS integration (BACnet/Modbus), sensors, and analytics dashboards
• Water treatment programs, corrosion control, and scale/biological mitigation
• Amana PTACs in residence halls, packaged rooftops, and split systems supporting campus spaces

Amana on campus

While your central plant drives chilled water, many buildings rely on Amana packaged and split systems—especially dorms and auxiliary facilities. We service and integrate Amana equipment with campus controls, apply manufacturer‑recommended practices, and ensure proper ventilation and filtration for healthy learning environments. Note: our team is factory‑trained by Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). We also support Amana commercial equipment to industry standards and university specifications.

An engineering‑first process

• Assessment and planning: Load analysis, plant walk‑throughs, water treatment review, controls and sequence verification, risk and redundancy mapping.
• Optimization and retro‑commissioning: Variable primary flow, condenser water reset, chilled water reset, tower optimization, and VFD tuning to meet ASHRAE/Title 24.
• Controls integration: BACnet/IP connectivity, trend logs, alarms, and fault detection with actionable reporting for facility teams.
• Commissioning and MBCx: Pre‑semester readiness, seasonal performance testing, and monitoring‑based commissioning for continuous improvement.
• Maintenance and emergency response: Predictive maintenance, tube cleaning, refrigerant management (EPA 608 compliance), and rapid repairs coordinated around class schedules.

Health, safety, and compliance

We align with ASHRAE 62.1/90.1, Title 24, Cal/OSHA guidelines, and campus EHS policies. Our water treatment and tower hygiene practices help reduce biological risk, and our IAQ strategies support healthier classrooms and labs. Documentation includes checklists, trend data, and clear recommendations you can share with stakeholders.

Energy, sustainability, and decarbonization

From advanced sequences to heat‑recovery strategies, we help campuses cut energy use and carbon intensity without sacrificing comfort. Typical measures include:

• Variable primary conversions and pump optimization
• Condenser water approach improvement and tower fan VFD control
• Chilled and condenser water reset strategies tied to real‑time loads
• Heat recovery for domestic hot water and reheat loads
• BAS analytics, fault detection, and operator training

We coordinate with utility incentive programs when available and provide savings estimates backed by trend data and commissioning results.
