CHILLED WATER PLANT
Two 2,000 ton turbine-driven centrifugal chillers, five 2,000 ton dual compressor electric centrifugal chillers, two 775 ton electric centrifugal chillers, a 450 ton electric rotary screw chiller, nineteen cooling towers, and a plate-and-frame heat exchanger have been installed to supply some of the campus from a central chilled water system. Thirty inch mains supply chilled water to some central campus buildings.
Boilers
Just about a million lbs/hr steam capacity.
I have a picture of the OSU chiller plant you're talking about as the wallpaper on my laptop. I've seen pictures of data centers with 20 York centrifugals lined up in a row.
Although we don't have anything that's WTC-big, down here in FL, you can throw a rock and hit a 7,000 ton chiller plant. One of the biggest ones I work at occasionally is a 13,000 ton plant for a local university that consists of a 1500t Trane CVHB, a 3000t Trane CDHF Duplex, (2) 2000t Carrier 17FAs, (1) 3000t York Turbomaster, and (2) 750t York YTs. They have numerous other smaller plants with Trane Duplexes in the 7,500 to 8,000 ton range.
I've got a lot of pictures I'll post later.
Don't pick the fly crap out of the pepper.
