APOLLO AUTOMATIONJAMES WARREN · ENGINEERING & PROJECT LEADERSHIPCASE-093 · Engineering case
Coordinated new chillers into electrical distribution and BAS monitoring to improve cooling control, staging, redundancy, and maintenance visibility.
Added chiller capacity had to be electrically and digitally coordinated so operators could see performance, alarms, runtime, safety interlocks, and staging behavior.
Engineered conduit, VFD, disconnect, and power-distribution plans for three new 160-ton chillers; reviewed plenum-rated control wiring, 120V circuit isolation, terminal protection, BAS proposal, flowrate, temperature differential, compressor runtime, fan speeds, runtime balancing, safety interlocks, maintenance scheduling, and auto-staging logic.
Improved chiller monitoring, staging, and maintenance visibility.

Improved cooling-system control, runtime balancing, alarm visibility, and maintenance planning.
Improved cooling visibility and sequencing, measured by BAS coordination for three chiller manufacturer 160-ton chillers and control logic covering flowrate, temperature differential, compressor runtime, fan speeds, runtime balancing, safety interlocks, and auto-staging, by coordinating power, controls, and BAS monitoring.
Three 160-ton chiller manufacturer chillers; BAS metrics; runtime balancing; safety interlocks; auto-staging; up to 95 percent plant cooling-capacity visibility as planning / source language.
Food and Beverage Manufacturer
Owned the full project lifecycle, from capital planning through commissioning and post-startup support. Cooling reliability depended on the relationship between process heat loads, available chiller capacity and circulation through the plant.

Full lifecycle project ownership
Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.

Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.
modeled demand and the roughly 78-ton peak thermal deficit, coordinated pumps and recirculation, and developed chiller staging and runtime balancing. Operating visibility and process-load monitoring connected the three 160-ton production chillers with the way the plant used cooling capacity.
