2.9.4.1 Air Systems Generally

Before fan start-up :

- Ductwork shall be thoroughly clean and free from obstructions.

- Dampers shall be open.

- Mechanical and electrical checks for the proper and safe operation of equipment shall
have been completed.

Before test measurements are taken :

- Ductwork shall be blown through, before fixing grilles and diffusers, to clear dust.

- Filters shall be clean.

- Belt tensions shall be checked and adjusted as necessary.

- Drainage traps shall have water seals.

- Joints, covers, test holes, builders work penetrations etc shall be sealed.

2.9.4.2 Air Initial Balance.

The initial air balance, based on design flow rates, may be carried out before water chiller
start up. Systems may be balanced by setting the correct proportional airflows at junctions
back to the fan and the design flow rates achieved by adjustment of the main damper. Main
airflow shall be measured by pitot tube traverse, or equal and approved by the Company.

The measurements listed on the following documents shall be recorded.

2.9.5.1 Preliminary Checks

Before starting to set up a controls system the following requirements shall be satisfied :

- All electrical supplies shall be isolated.

- All control components shall be correctly selected and installed.

- All safety devices, including interlocks and cut-outs, shall operate effectively.

- All sensing elements shall be located so as to give good representation of the


controlled variable.

2.9.5.2 Control Function Check.


Each component group, eg temperature sensor with directly associated control valve, shall
be separately functionally tested. Each function check shall be carried out at least twice.

Function checks shall include, but not be limited to, verification that:

- The set points of all controllers are within design tolerance with the minimum dead
zone consistent with stable control.

- Actuators have the correct movement initiated by controllers.

- Interlocking and overriding devices ensure that the overall sequence of control is
achieved.

- Equipment protection devices operate satisfactorily.

- Devices activated by fire alarm operate satisfactorily.

- Safety is not jeopardised in the event of the interruption the electrical supply.

2.9.6.1 Waterside & Airside Final Balance

With the complete system functional and running, the waterside and airside balance shall be
fine-tuned to take account of design temperature differences across equipment and to
achieve the specified room conditions.

When finally balanced, the adjusted position of each balancing valve and damper shall be
permanently marked.

2.9.6.2 Control System Calibration

With the complete system functional and running and the waterside and airside finally
balanced, controllers shall be fine-tuned to ensure that set points and control tolerances are
correct and meet the specified requirements.

2.9.6.3 Noise Levels

Noise measurements of the A-weighted sound pressure level (dBA) shall be taken:

- In at least 3 locations relevant to occupation.

- Under normal operating conditions.

- At least 1 m away from any reflecting plane or opening of the airconditioning


system, and at least 1.5 m away from any window

- For at least 10 seconds.

In cases where any one measurement indicates possible non-conformance with specified
noise criteria, then octave band spectra measurements shall be taken to establish the noise
rating (NR) as listed on the following document.

2.10.1 Contractors Supervisor

A qualified supervisor fluently conversant in the English language and experienced in the air
conditioning work shall be employed by the Contractor on the Worksite and shall directly
supervise all the work.

2.10.2 Company Inspection

The Contractors shall give at least one week notice, to the Company Site Representative, so
that he may inspect the work. After inspection the CSR will inform the contractor about
necessary improvement or allow the contractor to continue with the next sequence of the
work. Such permission will not relief the contractor in any way from his responsibilities as
to carry out the works in accordance with the contract and specifications.
