TERMS OF REFERENCE AND MINIMUM REQUIREMENT
LOT 1
TERMS OF REFERENCE
for
main project design documentation of the reconstruction of existing boiler room and
thermal station room including connection to the district heating system should be
created for the University hospital for pulmonary disease Jordanovac, location
Jordanovac 104 in Zagreb.
PRESENT CONDITION
The complex of buildings in University hospital for pulmonary disease Jordanovac
has its own boiler room and thermal station room for heating and preparation of
domestic hot water (DHW). In boiler room, four gas-fired boilers are placed and
supplied with natural gas from municipal gas distribution network.
Two classic hot water boilers (Q H1=1200 kW from y.1996 and Q H2=1160 kW from
y.1978) supply heat for the load of hot water heating system, preparation of DHW
and heat coils in the air handling unit. Installed heat power of the equipment
connected to the boilers is in total 2190 kW, including heat exhangers in DHW
tanks. Boilers operate at nominal temperature regime 90/70 oC for external design
conditions. Hot water distribution piping is divided in five main circulation branches
through distributors placed in thermal station room.
Two steam generators (each Q S1/2=180 kW from y.1978) are placed in boiler room
and supply low-pressure steam for the load of equipment for sterilization and
cooking. Installed heat power of the equipment connected to the boilers is in total
300 kW.
Forced-draught combined gas-oil burners (from y.1978) are installed on all boilers.
Extra light fuel oil is used as back-up fuel and it is stored in four outdoor tanks with
total volume of 125 m3.
The DHW is stored in three tanks with total volume of 15 m 3 (each tank V1/2/3 =
5.000 litres) placed in thermal station room.
Equipment and associated system elements mostly date from y.1978 and they are
worn-out so they do not enable reliable energy supply in future, according to the
requirements of health-care facilities.
There is medium-pressure steam pipeline in size DN 350, placed on the adjacent
parcel of the hospital KBC Zagreb Rebro, that comes from the district heating
system of power plant TE-TO, managed by the heat energy distributor HEP
Toplinarstvo d.o.o. The neighbouring complex of hospital buildings already uses
steam as energy carrier for heating, cooling, air-conditioning, preparation of DHW
and low-pressure steam production. Steam parameters in the pipeline are pressure
of 9 bar and temperature of 200 oC. Distance from the possible connection joint to
the boiler room of Jordanovac is about 500 m.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT


Complete dismantling and substitution of all equipment in the existing boiler room
and thermal station room (reconstruction zone) including ventilation systems is to
be done, because the existing equipment and controls are worn-out and outdated.

connection to the municipal district heating system which is classified as an
alternative energy source. Energy carrier is medium pressure steam from district
heating pipeline of appropriate dimension which is, for the purposes of this project,
brought to the entrance to the room.
The existing equipment is to be dismantled completely up to the entries of
secondary hot water distribution piping, i.e. up to the entries of low pressure steam
piping into the reconstruction zone. Thereby, parts of the equipment and some
valves are to be carefully uninstalled and later installed, if they are good for later
use. Distribution piping for the energy supply of the terminal equipment outside of
the reconstruction zone are outside the scope of this project. The connections to the
new heat sources are to be made at the entries to the reconstruction zone.

coils of air handling unit). Design temperature regime for secondary hot water
distribution is to be checked by calculation and, if possible, selected at 80/60 oC.
Design has to predict hydraulic balancing of the main hot water circulation branches
at the distributors, by using manually operated balancing valves installed in the
return pipes. Design has to predict hot water pumps with variable speed control on
all main circulation branches, for energy efficient operation after reconstruction.
Design has to predict a hot water expansion system with automatic pressure
control. Design has to predict adequate water treatment system for water filling and
supplement for safe operation of hot water heating systems. Design has to predict
control energy and water meters mounted on the main branches and on
connections of large consumers. The meters should be equipped with control units
including hardware and software for remote data collection and processing.
Design has to predict reconstruction in phases, so the undisturbed use of the
hospital is provided. Design has to predict a room in the reconstruction zone for
installing one of the existing hot water gas boilers with all associated equipment
and control for automatic operation, that is to be used as back-up heat source for
the safety of energy supply, according to the requirements of health-care facilities.

LOT 2
TERMS OF REFERENCE
for
Main project design documentation of the reconstruction of two existing boiler
rooms including connection to the municipal gas distribution network should be
created for the Centre for education Dubrava, on location Prilaz T. poljara 2 in
Zagreb.
PRESENT CONDITION
The buildings in Centre for education Dubrava have two separate boiler rooms with
thermal stations for heating and preparation of domestic hot water (DHW) the
main boiler room and the annex boiler room. Boilers in both boiler rooms are fired
with extra light fuel oil stored in outdoor tanks. Both boiler rooms are in spaces that
are partiallly below ground and the distance between them is about 100 m.
In the main boiler room, two classic hot water boilers (Q H1=400 kW from y.2011 and
QH2=510 kW) supply heat for the load of hot water heating system and preparation
of DHW. Installed heat power of the equipment connected to the boilers is in total
890 kW, including heat exhangers in DHW tanks. Boilers operate at nominal
temperature regime 90/70 oC for external design conditions. Hot water distribution
piping is divided in nine main circulation branches through distributors. Hot water
circulation for all braches is provided by one circulation pump (operating + spare).
One steam generator (QS1=500 kW, 800kg/h of dry steam from y.2006) is placed in
the main boiler room and supply low-pressure steam for the load of equipment in
the kitchen. Installed heat power of the equipment connected to the steam boiler is
in total 115 kW.
Forced-draught oil burners (from y.1998 to 2006) are installed on all boilers.
The DHW in the main boiler room is stored in one tank with volume of V 1 = 4.000
litres.
Heating system control is provided through the automatic control equipment in the
boiler room by changing the water temperature with outdoor conditions.

11

Some of the equipment and associated system elements are worn-out so they do
not enable reliable energy supply in future, according to the requirements of the
buildings. That is obvious especially for the new boiler Q H1 (y. 2011) which is in bad
condition although only 2 years old, and for DHW tank and main hot water pump.
In the annex boiler room, one classic hot water boiler (Q H3=510 kW from y.2006)
supply heat for the load of hot water heating system, preparation of DHW and heat
coils in the air handling units. Installed heat power of the equipment connected to
the boiler is in total 310 kW, including heat exhangers in DHW tanks. Boilers
operate at nominal temperature regime 90/70 oC for external design conditions. Hot
water distribution piping is divided in four main circulation branches through
distributors. Hot water circulation for all braches is provided by one circulation
pump (operating + spare).
Forced-draught oil burner (from y.2002) is installed on the boiler.
The DHW in the annex boiler room is stored in one tank with volume of V 2 = 1.000
litres.
Heating system control is provided through the automatic control equipment in the
boiler room by changing the water temperature with outdoor conditions.
Condition of the equipment and associated system elements in the annex boiler
room is generally good, because some of the worn-out equipment were recently
replaced through regular maintenance. More often problems were reported with one
three-way mixing control valve with servo motor drive.
Heating systems connected to the boilers in both boiler rooms are not equipped
with room controllers.
Water supply and supplement of the hot water systems in the buildings is not
implemented through the water treatment equipment.
Northeast from the Centre parcel, there is placed municipal gas distribution
pipeline, managed by the gas distributor Gradska plinara Zagreb d.o.o. on which the
boilers in boiler rooms and eventually other equipment in the Centre could be
connected. Distance from the possible connection joint to the main boiler room in
the Centre is about 150 m.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
Partial dismantling and substitution of the equipment in the existing boiler rooms
(reconstruction zone) is to be done, because of substitution of the energy carrier
from oil to gas and because some of the existing equipment and controls are wornout. The reconstruction has to include all necessary steps in converting oil-fired
boiler rooms into gas-fired boiler rooms with adequte ventilation systems and with
connection to the municipal gas distribution network.
A) THE MAIN BOILER ROOM

uninstalled and later installed, if they are good for later use. Distribution pipings for
the energy supply of the terminal equipment outside of the reconstruction zone are
outside the scope of this project. The connections to the heat sources in the boiler
room are to be made at the entries to the reconstruction zone.
All parts of the equipment that are good to be used on other locations are to be
carefully uninstalled and transported to the locations specified by the investor.
Project design solution has to predict one new hot water boiler of adequate heat

Main project design documentation of the reconstruction of boiler room in the main
building of Risnjak National Park, where oil burned boiler should be replaced with
biomass chips burned ones.
PRESENT CONDITION
The main building of Risnjak National park was constructed in late seventies of the
last century. Geographic coordinates of the building are: N45 o2506,55 and
E14o4108,81. Total area of the building is approximately 950 m 2. Access to the
building plot is from street in Bijela Vodica, some 14 km NW direction from Delnice
exit on A6 highway. The main building is used as headquarter of the national park
and consists of: basement, ground and first floor. Spaces are heated with central
heating system from the boiler room in the basement. The basement consists of
convention space, utility rooms and boiler room. The ground floor consists of a
restaurant, reception and offices, while the upper floor consist sleeping rooms and
offices. All radiators are equipped with manual control valves in the heating flow
and ballasts in the return lines. The heating system is controlled automatically
according to ambient temperature. Heating operation is continuous, without
interruption. The outer wall is made up of brick or concrete and mortar total
thickness of 40 cm. Pitched roof is made of wooden structures covered with
domestic shingle (poor condition). The walls are in good condition but, there is no
insulation on them. Windows are wooden with double glazing all of them in poor
condition with bad seals. Exterior doors are wooden with no windows. On the
inside of the window, curtains were placed as protection against solar radiation.
Boiler room
Layout area of the boiler room is approximately 10 m 2, a height is 2,7m. Boiler
room consists of:

system is 80/60 oC
hot water storage tank capacity of 600 dm 3, manufacturer Centrometal
Croatia, type TB-600 year of production is 2005
The manifold consists of three main branches, where two of them are aimed
for radiator heating and both are equipped with mixing valves and pumps.
Third branch is dedicated to DHW heating. This branch is without any
regulation at all, no mixing valves, nothing. Thus, the average temperature of
DHW up to 75oC.
There is no daily oil fuel tank in the boiler room, but the main oil tank has
been buried in the backyard since 1980. The tank's capacity is app. 12000
dm3 constructed as one wall steel tank. The tank was placed in the soil
without safety pan.
chimney is common concrete structure

Central heating system


Central heating system is constructed as double pipe heating system with the
different type of radiators. The temperature regime of the existing heating
system is 80/60oC. The heating system is regulated by automatic regulation
according to the outside air temperature. The heating system is mostly old
and there is no data on the actual installed capacity for individual heating
circuits.
Air handling units (AHU)
There is no air handling units installed in the building. The kitchen hood
ventilation system has been installed in the kitchen. System is in good
condition, but poorly calculated and because of that it is rarely used.
Domestic hot water (DHW
Domestic hot water (DHW) is used for personal hygiene in lavatories and
showers, and for the preparation of food in the kitchen sink. There is one
DHW accumulator with total volume of 600 dm 3. Temperature in the DHW
tank is not regulated, thus the average temperature of DHW is up to 75 oC.
Existing recycling pump is under dimensioned and piping system is not
balanced (there are no balancing valves). Because of that, there is a
permanent problem with DHW delivery across the building.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
Project of reconstruction of boiler room and DHW preparation system should be
prepared as a main project, equipped and consist of all parts necessary to obtain
building permit.
Project should start with a site inspection which gives a detailed view of the
condition and energy efficiency of the surveyed building and DHW installations as
well as all other important data for all parts of Project such are:

Heating, ventilation and DHW preparation

Electrical Installation
Construction

HEATING, VENTILATION AND DHW PREPARATION PART OF THE PROJECT


In site survey needs to deliver following results:
- Record the actual state of the installed radiators (all circles) to be able to
optimize control valves sizing, circulation pumps sizing and the required
power generators; within this point it is necessary to measure the flow rate of
all circuits before reconstruction to allow real analysis of capabilities of the
maximum initial temperature reduction (of the boiler). It is requested to
measure flow rates of heating water for each single circuit in the boiler room,
to be able to set them up at the same level after reconstruction.
- Record the actual state of other equipment for heating, ventilation and DHW
preparation
- Measure consumption of DHW and energy needed to heat DHW for at least 5
days period (min/max/average/hourly) in order to obtain data for optimal
sizing of new storage tank.
The project should:
- Technical evaluation of energy efficiency of current system of heating,
domestic hot water (DHW) system, and kitchen ventilation
- To design a new technical solution of the boiler room, take into account the
actual data obtained by examination and measuring; In order to save
energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and rationalization costs of heating
and hot water, design new boiler room on the way to replace type of fuel (oil
to biomass chips).
- DHW heating during period out of the heating season should be solved by
means of solar collectors. Since there is a LPG tank on the backyard (for
kitchen), design 2nd small boiler which should be used to heat the DHW when
solar energy is not enough to heat DHW. That 2 nd boiler should be equipped
with LPG burner.
- Develop technical solution dismantling of existing equipment from the
basement boiler room, and buried oil tank
- There is a possibility that the restaurant will be leased, therefore project
should provide installation of calorimeters to measure heating and DHW
consumption

All the results of the observations, measurements and calculations should be


described in the project of reconstruction.
Guiding values of thermal load
According to architecture blueprints of the building, prepared by the company
Projekt 54 from Delnice from 1978, new calculation of heat loads have been
calculated assuming followed heat transfer coefficients:

external wall
internal wall
window

1,34 W/(m2K)
1,90 W/(m2K)
3,00 W/(m2K)

17

floor
internal door
roof

1,50 W/(m2K)
2,5W/(m2K)
1,16 W/(m2K)

Winter project temperature for Bijela Voda is -21 oC.


Calculated heat transmition loads are 94,89 kW.
Ventilation lost have been calculated based on fresh volume air exchange, where for
all rooms except toilets, wardrobe, kitchen and restaurant, 0,5 volume exchanges
per hour was selected as amount of fresh air intake. Volume exchanges per hour for
the toilets have been selected to 8, for wardrobe to 4, and for restaurant to 2.
Calculated ventilation loads are 53,2 kW!!!
Total heat load for winter season was calculated according to EN12831 is
148,09 kW, taking into account with engineers security mistake of 15 %
(for calculations done in late seventies of the last century), total heat load
is accepted to 170,3kW.
To calculated value of 170 kW, amount for preheating DHW should be added.
Assuming that volume of 600 dm 3 should be heated from 10 oC to 55 oC in two hours,
additional 17kW should be added to total heat boiler capacity.
New boiler should be dimensioned to at least 170kW+17kW=187kW.

Warehousing and distribution of Fuel


Oil Fuel economy
Existing buried oil storage of unknown capacity, approximately 12000 dm 3is old and
in bad shape, as well as the corresponding manifolds for supplying fuel oil to the
boiler. Project design should include the necessary work of dismantling and disposal
of tank, pipeline, and environmental remediation. Existing oil manifold should be
excluded from further use.
Gas installation
Reconstruction of boiler room should cover measured gas installation pipeline and
connection to the existing LPG pipeline.
Calculation of gas installations
Calculation of the gas system comprises:

determining the necessary volumes of for DHW heating during out of the
heating season period

pipeline sizing
Boiler room
New hot water boilers should be installed in boiler room, where the total power will
be defined after the recording of necessary consumption. Total power for future
boiler does not exceed the maximum required power. The 1 st boiler should cover
100% of energy needs for heating and DHW and should be burned on biomass
chips. 2nd boiler should be used to heat the DHW during out of the heating season,
and when solar energy is not enough to heat DHW. That 2 nd boiler should be
equipped with LPG burner and could be facade design with capacity of 30kW.

18

Heating distribution within the new boiler room


Thermal distribution within the existing boiler room is old and in poor condition.
Complete heating water pipeline, with all the shut-off and control equipment should
be replaced. Active and reserve pump should be provided for each heating circuit.
Equipment and pipes should be insulated to reduce heat loss. Minimum insulation
thickness should be conducted in accordance with the requirements of technical
regulations.
Ventilation of boiler room
New boiler room should be ventilated by means of natural ventilation (diagonal slots
in the boiler room). Vents, windows and channels designed according to the
conditions stipulated in the Ordinance, and control calculations show that the
minimum technical requirements are met.
DHW system
Distribution and DHW heating should be done in the basement as a part of existing
boiler room. DHW system sizing should be provided based on actual consumption
measurements (DHW accumulator should be over dimensioned for amount of 20%
comparing to measured data). The calculation should take all necessary amount of
hot water for kitchen, laundry and hand basins, showers and bathtubs in the toilets.
Existing DHW manifolds should be equipped by regulating valves, and balanced.
The new flat plate solar collector system should be calculated and predicted to
cover DHW consumption during summer months. Thus, DHW tank should be
selected as a bivalent one.
Chimney
Each boiler has to be equipped with its own chimney. Control calculations should be
done according to EN 13 084 / DIN 4133. Calculation of the chimney should be an
integral part of the project.
Gas detection system
Infrared sensors for gas detection should be installed above the potential sources of
leakage of gas. Gas detection system should be connected to the control unit of
remote monitoring system.
Fire protection equipment
Firefighting equipment includes a stable installation of fire (hydrant network) and
mobile devices to extinguish. The facility has a built-hydrant network and the same
is not the subject of this project. Mobile equipment to extinguish should be included
this project ( in accordance with technical requirements prescribed in the
Regulations).
Boiler room
Project of reconstruction should be consisted of calculation of:
Chimney
New boiler biomass chips burned selection
Silo for wood chips with conveyors to the boiler
LPG burned boiler selection
The boiler room ventilation
Sizing the expansion tank
Hydraulic calculation of heating network
Pump selection

1. Replacement of the following four existing air handling units built in
three separate machinery room:
1A) air handling unit for air conditioning of swimming pool and wardrobe
space in the building Hydrotherapy Children's department
1B) air handling unit for air conditioning of restaurant space in the high
ground floor of the building NBO (Novi bolniki odjel) (due to failure air
handling unit is not working anymore)
1C) air handling unit for air conditioning of the basement in the building
NBO Novi bolniki odjel) and air handling unit for air conditioning of
ground floor in the building NBO (Novi bolniki odjel)
with new air handling units containing heat recovery system

22

According to the Article 44. of the Technical regulation on rational use of energy and
thermal protection in buildings (OG 110/08, 98/09) it is necessary to recover heat
from the exhaust air where the following conditions are met cumulatively:
mechanical ventilation, number of air exchange is higher than 0,7 h -1 and air flow
is higher than 2.500 m3/h.
Above mentioned four air handling units are outdated (age of the existing air
handling units is from 22 to 26 years) and do not have heat recovery section.
The reconstruction aim: energy savings (using sensible heat from exhaust air),
increasing indoor thermal comfort in the conditioned space, air dehumidification in
the swimming pool space in the building Hydrotherapy Children's department.
1A) Air handling unit for air conditioning of the swimming pool and
wardrobe space in the building Hydrotherapy Children's department

PRESENT CONDITION
Air conditioning of the swimming pool and wardrobe space in the building
Hydrotherapy - Children's department was performed using air handling unit. The
following data on the air handling unit are known:
Manufacturer:
Type:

IMP KLIMAT Ljubljana


KND 6,3 d

Year of construction:

1991.

Nominal air flow - supply side:

4.000 m3/h

Nominal air flow - exhaust side:

4.000 m3/h

Heat transfer rate of heater (90/70C):

73 kW

Electrical power of supply fan:

1,7 / 0,6 kW

Electrical power of exhaust fan:

1,7 / 0,6 kW

The main components of the existing air handling unit are: filter, heater, supply and
exhaust fan.
Heat source for the heater is hot water (90/70C) produced in boilers of the
manufacturer TOPLOTA on natural gas, which are placed in the central boiler room.
The existing air handling unit is 22 years old, has no built-in heat recovery section
and is placed inside the basement-ground machinery room surface area 8,5 m x 11
m = 93,5 m2.
Entrance to the machinery room from the outside is provided directly over the
access corridor width of 1,25 m. Outside metal door has opening height of 2,02 m
and opening width of 0,97 m, while inside metal door has opening height of 1,83 m
and opening width of 0,695 m.

23

The space of the machinery room, where the existing air handling unit is placed, is
loaded with moisture due to overflow of the water from the swimming pool through
the space of machinery room. Part of the thermal insulation of the supply and
exhaust duct is in extremely poor condition (cracked and crumbled).
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
With regard to the age and inefficiency of the existing air handling units main
project design documentation for air conditioning of the swimming pool and
wardrobe place in the building Hydrotherapy Child's department should be created.
The existing air handling unit and distribution channels are need to be completely
disassembled and replaced with new air handling unit containing heat recovery
section and new distribution channels with new air diffusers.
For the purpose of air conditioning of the swimming pool area the main project
design solution has to predict installation of new air handling unit containing
equipped with high efficiency recuperator (plate heat exchanger) with sensible heat
recovery efficiency of at least 70 % and electrically driven heat pump with
environmentally friendly refrigerant.
The airflow leaving the swimming pool area (extract air) will be cooled down on the
evaporator surface of the integrated heat pump with the main aim of dehumidifying
of air in the swimming pool area. Beside already mentioned component the new air
handling unit should also contain filters, supply and exhaust fan and additional
heater (55/45 C). Recuperator and all other material, which will be used in air
conditioning system, should be durable and resistant to aggressive compounds that
may occur in the airflow (e.g. recuperator made of polypropylene).
New air handling unit must be connected to a central monitoring and control system
where all important parameters can be controlled and read.
Entering the new air handling unit in the existing machinery room should be
predicted in parts over the access corridor opening width of 1,25 m (Outside metal
door has opening height of 2,02 m and opening width of 0,97 m, while inside metal
door has opening height of 1,83 m and opening width of 0,695 m).
Due to old channel distribution the complete existing channel distribution, diffusers
and regulation need to be also disassembled and replaced.
Completely new distribution channel, dimensions according to dimensioning
calculation, with all ductwork and duct connection components, diffusers and duct
dumpers need to be performed.
The air conditioning system needs to be dimensioned according to air pollution with
moisture in the swimming pool area (VDI 2089 Part 1 - Building Services in
swimming baths - Indoor pools).

24

Volume of water in the children's pool is 50 m 3, and the pool water's temperature is
30 C (room temperature of indoor pool range from 2 up to 4 C above the pool
water's temperature).
Ventilation of the machinery room, where the existing air handling unit is placed and
where also the new air handling unit will be placed, should also be solved with the
same main design.
1B) Air handling unit for air conditioning of the restaurant space in the
high ground floor of the building NBO (NBO - Novi Bolniki Odjel) (due to
failure air handling unit is not working anymore)

PRESENT CONDITION
The restaurant in the high ground floor in the building NBO is conditioned with the
one air handling unit.
The main component of the existing air handling unit are: filter, two heaters, supply
and exhaust (5,5 kW) fan. Heat source for the two heaters is hot water (90/70C)
produced in boilers of the manufacturer TOPLOTA on natural gas, which are placed
in the central boiler room. The existing air handling unit has no built-in heat
recovery section. Due to age and failure the existing air handling units is no longer
in operation (one heater leaked).
Technical data are not known (there is no technical documentation)!
Since the technical data of existing air handling unit are not known, the external
dimensions of air handling unit are measured (1,245 m x 1,245 m = 1,55 m 2), and
assuming the air flow speed in the air handling unit in the amount of 2 m/s,
approximated value of the air flow in the amount of 11.000 m3/h is calculated.
Approximately the same value of air flow can be obtained using the cross section of
exhaust channel 1,12 m x 0,55 m = 0,616 m 2 and assumed air velocity in the
exhaust duct in the amount of 5 m/s.
The air handling unit is placed inside the basement machinery room surface area
6,1 m x 9,75 m = 59,5 m2 and the height of 1,88 m.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
With regard to the failure and inefficiency of the existing air handling units main
project design documentation for air conditioning of the restaurant place in the NBO
building should be created.
The existing air handling unit and distribution channels are need to be completely
disassembled and replaced with new air handling containing heat recovery section
and new distribution channels with new air diffusers.

25

For the purposes of ventilation, heating and cooling of the restaurant on the ground
floor of the building NBO the main project design solution has to predict installation
of a new air handling unit equipped with high efficiency recuperator (plate heat
exchanger) with sensible heat recovery efficiency of 70 % at least. In addition to
heat recovery system the new air handling unit should also contain filters, heater
(55/45 C), cooler (7/12 C) (connection will be made when the source of cooling
energy will be available) and supply / exhaust fan frequently controlled, which will
solve the optimal air supply to the normal mode or in savings mode. Heater need to
be connected to the existing supply/return connection of hot water.
New air handling unit must be connected to a central monitoring and control system
where all important parameters can be controlled and read.
Entering the new air handling unit in the existing machinery room should be
predicted in parts over the access corridor and double door with opening width of
1,85 m and opening height of 1,88 m.
Completely new distribution channel, dimensions according to dimensioning
calculation, with all ductwork and duct connection components, diffusers and duct
dumpers need to be performed.
1C) Air handling unit for air conditioning of the basement in the building
NBO and air handling unit for air conditioning of ground floor in the
building NBO (NBO - Novi Bolniki Odjel)

PRESENT CONDITION

Heat transfer rate of heater (90/70C):

53,6 kW

Electrical power of supply fan:

5,5 kW

Electrical power of exhaust fan:

5,5 kW

The cross area of supply / exhaust part of the existing air handling unit is 1 m x 1 m
= 1 m2.
The ground floor in the building NBO is conditioned with the one air handling unit
also manufactured by IMP KLIMAT Ljubljana (year of construction 1987). Technical

26

data are not known (there is no technical documentation) ! Since the technical data
of existing air handling unit for air conditioning of the ground floor are not known,
the external dimensions of air handling unit are measured (1,5 m x 1,5 m = 2,25
m2), and assuming the air flow speed in the air handling unit in the amount of 2 m/s,
approximated value of the air flow in the amount of 16.200 m3/h is calculated.
The main components of the two above described existing air handling units are:
filter, heater, supply and exhaust fan. Heat source for the two heaters is hot water
(90/70C) produced in boilers of the manufacturer TOPLOTA on natural gas, which
are placed in the central boiler room. Both air handling units are placed in the same
machinery room of the surface area 3,33 m x 9,73 m = 32,4 m 2 and height in the
amount of 3,2 m.
Entrance to the machinery room is provided through the metal double door with
opening width of 2,03 m and opening height of 2 m.
The both existing air handling units are 26 years old, have no built-in heat recovery
section and need to be replaced with new air handling units.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT


With regard to the age and inefficiency of the existing air handling units it is
necessary to replace them with two new air handling units both equipped with heat
recovery section. The existing distribution channels in the ground floor should be
also completely disassembled and replaced with the new one.
For the purposes of ventilation, heating and cooling of the basement and ground
floor in the building NBO the main project design solution has to predict installation
of two new air handling unit equipped with high efficiency recuperator (plate heat
exchanger) with sensible heat recovery efficiency of 70 % at least. In addition to
heat recovery system the new air handling units should also contain filters, heater
(55/45 C), cooler (7/12 C) (connection will be made when the source of cooling
energy will be available) and supply / exhaust fan frequently controlled, which will
solve the optimal air supply to the normal mode or in savings mode. Heaters need
to be connected to the existing supply/return connection of hot water.
New air handling units must be connected to a central monitoring and control
system where all important parameters can be controlled and read.
Due to inaccessibility, dismantling of existing air handling units in the basement
must be carried out in parts, as well as the installation of new air handling units.
Completely new distribution channel, dimensions according to dimensioning
calculation, with all ductwork and duct connection components, diffusers and duct
dumpers need to be performed. Air conditioning system needs to be dimensioned
according to required air exchange rate.
27

New air handling unit for air conditioning of the basement has to be connected to
the existing distribution channels after cleaning of existing distribution channels.

RECONSTRUCTION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE EXISTING CENTRAL
DOMESTIC HOT WATER SYSTEM
PRESENT CONDITION
Domestic hot water is prepared centrally in 6 indirectly heated hot water vessels of
manufacturer Buderus of total volume 4.500 L horizontally placed in a room of
surface area 4,8 m x 15 m = 72 m 2 in the part of boiler room situated inside the
building of Old hospital. Geothermal water temperature of 40 C enters directly
into 6 vessels. Using low-pressure steam, produced in the steam boilers
manufacturer TOPLOTA Zagreb on natural gas (build year 1975.), the geothermal
water temperature of 40 C is heated up to a temperature of 55 C. Low pressure
steam flows through the tube heat exchanger immersed in vessels. Steam
temperature at the entrance of the heat exchanger is approximately 110 C. In
addition to indirectly heated hot water vessel the tank, which collects the
condensate, is also located in the same boiler room. All equipment of the existing
central domestic hot water system were carried in through one window with
opening width of 0,81 m and opening height of 1,8 m.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The main project design solution has to predict the complete reconstruction of
existing central domestic hot water system.
The existing hot water vessel, tank for collecting of condensate, piping which
supplies steam to hot water vessels should be dismantled and replaced with new
domestic hot water system (installation of new equipment and pipe distribution of
hot water).
The required parameters for a new domestic hot water system:
- geothermal water temperature of 40 C enters in the domestic hot water system
(existing pipe connection of geothermal water DN 50)
- heating of domestic hot water from 40 to 55 C in vessels
importance) only with hot water:

(in order of

1. waste heat at the condenser of heat pump water/water for cooling of


geothermal spring water
2. hot water produced in the existing hot water boilers
- predict new piping distribution of hot water, as a medium for heating domestic hot
water to the required temperature
For proper sizing of central domestic hot water system flow water measurement is
required in a minimum period of 7 days.

28

New domestic hot water system must be connected to a central monitoring and
control system where all important parameters can be controlled and read.

29

3. REPLACEMENT OF THE TWO EXISTING HEAT PUMPS WATER/WATER WITH


TWO NEW HEAT PUMPS WATER/WATER using geothermal spring water
temperature of 41 C as a heat source with main purpose of:
- cooling geothermal spring water for filling swimming pools (Mary's
swimming pool, swimming pool in the building NBO, swimming pool in the
building of the Children's department)
- transferring the condenser heat in the central heating system in the
heating season
- transferring the condenser heat in central domestic hot water system
and for laundries in the cooling season
PRESENT CONDITION
In the Special hospital for medical rehabilitation Krapinske Toplice following
swimming pools are directly filled with geothermal spring water: Jakob's and Mary's
pools in the building of Hydrotherapy of Old hospital, pool in the building NBO and
pool in the Children's department.
Jakob's pool is filled directly with geothermal spring water temperature of 41 and
the cooling of geothermal water is not needed. Mary's pool, pool in the building NBO
and pool in the Children's department require geothermal water temperature
around 30 C.
In summer (cooling season), geothermal spring water for filling Mary's pool, pool in
the building NBO and pool in the Children's department is cooled with tap water,
which is a big expense with respect to the current price of tap water (Zagorski
vodovod d.o.o.). In winter (heating season) cooling of geothermal spring water is
done using two electrically-driven vapour compression cycle heat pumps
manufacturer GEA HAPPEL type EUWH 240 FSD (build year 1992.) with
environmentally unfriendly refrigerant R22, using geothermal spring water as a
heat source.
The following data on the existing two heat pumps are known:
Total heating capacity:

1.440

kW
Coefficient of performance COP:

3,6

Total compressor power to both heat pumps:

400

Total cooling capacity:

1.040

Supply temperature of water in the heating system:

55 C

kW
kW

30

Data on geothermal source:


Flow of geothermal spring water source:

180 m3/h =

50 l/s
Temperature of geothermal spring water:

41 C

Two existing heat pumps were installed in the newer part of the boiler room surface
area of 7, 4 m x 15, 5 m = 114,7 m 2 along with two hot water boilers on natural gas.
Entrance to the newer part of boiler room is provided through metal door with
opening width of 4,6 m and opening height of 2,9 m.
Heat transfer between the refrigerant R22 in the evaporator of heat pumps and
geothermal spring water is derived indirectly via plate heat exchanger manufacturer
GEA type VT 40CDL-10, which is located in a separate building near building of
pumping station.
After passing through the existing plate heat exchanger cooled geothermal water
flows to the tank of cooled geothermal water, and then flows to pools. Excess of
cooled geothermal water is spilled into creek. Condensator heat is delivered to the
central heating system in the heating season. Waste water of all pools in Special
hospital for medical rehabilitation Krapinske Toplice is spilling to the creek
throughout whole year.
Refrigerant R22 (chlordifluormethane, CHF2Cl) is an environmentally unfriendly
refrigerant, which according to Regulation on substances which deplete the ozone
layer and fluorinated greenhouse gases (OG 92/12) can be placed on the market in
Croatia and used for the maintenance or servicing of existing chillers, air
conditioning equipment and heat pumps by 31st December 2014.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT


With regard to the age and inefficiency (low COP) of two existing heat pumps with
environmentally unfriendly refrigerant R22 it is necessary to dissemble them and
replace them with two new heat pumps water/water. Used oil should be disposed
and refrigerant R22 should be recuperated and reused for another systems still
using R22.
The main project design solution has to predict installation of two new energy
efficient heat pumps water/water using as a heat source geothermal spring water
of following parameters:
Flow of geothermal spring water source:

180 m3/h =

50 l/s
Temperature of geothermal spring water:

41 C

The required parameters for new heat pumps water/water:

31

- coefficient of performance COP = 5 and more


- heat pumps for use with water heat source from 20 to 35 C
- supply temp. of water in the central heating system, domestic hot water system
min. 65 C
- environmentally friendly refrigerant.
Condensator heat of heat pumps should be stored in tank and used in:
- HEATING SEASON for central heating system
- COOLING SEASON for central domestic hot water and for laundries (preheating
of water at the entrance to the washing machines)
The main project design solution has to predict also installation of cooling towers to
ensure the eventual disclosure of excess heat into the environment.
Heat transfer between geothermal spring water and refrigerant in the evaporator of
heat pump should be derived indirectly through heat exchanger.
