No, I Know, but... please read the whole post in order to know why I'm asking... :rolleyes:
Hi all!. This is my very first post in this forum.
I'm a mechanical engineer and rule my own engineering company. By now I have to make an engineering offer for updating the HVAC for a 1965 building. It's fitted with a top end 1965 installation (a double duct wortinghton unit, with exhaust recovery), and, in cooling, a 90 hp (270 KW more or less) R12/R2 fedders water cooled chiller. Uhh, wait, Fedders? Yes, fedders. (see atachment)
Machine room has plenty of space but is located in the basement. Only way in and out is a 80 cm door, so, it's almos imposible to fit a whole brand new water cooled unit, so, my chances are:
Forget about it and install a brand new machine elsewhere
Retrofit the chiller with a turbocor unit
Errr... turbocor would fit and is able to "cross the door". But... how about heat exchangers ? Will they live 3 more decades?...
Regards,
Lewis
