M
cKenneys installed two
new high-end chillers for a
prominent hotel in Atlanta.
THE CHALLENGE
A popular flagship hotel wanted to replace
both of its 30-year-old centrifugal chillers.
With 90-percent occupancy during a typically
hot Atlanta summer, the hotel couldnt risk
downtime. McKenneys had to remove the
old chillers and install two new chilled water
machineswith new isolation and control
valveswithout any disruptions for guests.
THE SOLUTION
The McKenneys team conducted a campus
tour to ensure hotel leadership that it could
manage electrical services, piping, rigging,
insulation, automation upgrades and general
contracting. Following detailed planning, the
team used a series of pipe freezes to shut down
the chiller plant in preparation for the new
magnetic-bearing chiller. An air-cooled tem-
porary chiller maintained temperatures during
the renovation along with the existing chiller
during phase one. Phase two included the
install of an interim air cooled chiller working
with the magnetic bearing chiller.
THE RESULTS
The new chillers were installed on time, within
budget and helped the customer realize close
to $40k in Georgia Power rebate incentives.
