- Description
- This requirement is to provide and install a replacement coil in the AC unit at the USDA laboratory in Dubois, ID. SOW: Provide and install a new coil unit inside one of the 2 AC units, making sure the new coil unit accepts R22 coolant. Also raise both units above the concrete pad at least 3". Charge the system and verify the heat pump is working correctly. Remove and dispose of all broken parts. No property, wiring or real estate may be damaged or altered by the contractor with express written consent of the Contracting Officer. This work for this requirement must be completed by April 20th, 2012. AC SPECS.: Brand: RHEEM Air Conditioner Model: RPKB - 042 - JAZ Serial: 7024 - M3604 - 07478 MFD: 09/2004 1 phase, 60 Hertz Compressor: RLA 21.2/21.2 High Pressure: 2068 KPA/300 PSIG Low Pressure: 1034 KPA/150 PSIG Factory Charge: 30906 / 109 oz R22 Background information: There are 2 RHEEM AC units mounted directly to a concrete pad outside of building #66. There is a lean-to roof built over the top of the units to prevent snow, water and ice from falling on top of the units. The problem seems to be in the fall, when water is collected around the bottom of the units and then freezes solid damaging the bottom ring of coils inside the AC units. These units were purchased and installed in 2004 when R22 coolant was readily available. Now R22 has been replaced with a more friendly coolant but the existing units are not compatible with the new coolant. Estimates I have are around 8 to 10 k to replace the entire system. You know as well as me what the answer was when I shared the problems with our Research Leader. We use this lab year around so we must have a reliable cooling and heating source. The solution is to replace the damaged coil and then raise both units to avoid the water collection problem. I believe the units can be raised by using lifts between the units frame and the concrete pad, allowing water to pass under the units. SOW: Provide and install a new coil unit inside one of the 2 AC units, making sure the new coil unit accepts R22 coolant. Also raise both units above the concrete pad at least 3". Charge the system and verify the heat pump is working correctly. Remove and dispose of all broken parts.
