J.F. White was contracted by the Brook House
Condominium Association to remove the existing 820
ton gas engine driven centrifugal units and replace them
with two 800 ton electric centrifugal machines. This
included removing and replacing chilled and condenser
water pumps with the associated VFD’s. New switch
gear, 2500 amp bus duct, 1200 CFM fans and a new
digital control system were installed.
The difficult aspect of this job was access to the
mechanical room which was via the parking garage. The
garage was not designed to support the weight of the
chillers. J.F. White and Glancy Rigging installed support
shoring and surface protecting materials throughout the
garage to allow the chillers to be moved into the
mechanical room in two pieces.
