The Mission
Hysan
Place is one of the flagship properties of Hysan Development Company
Limited, offering a vertical shopping mall and 15-floor Grade A offices.
Recognizing the importance of selecting a solution that would align with
its sustainability goals and provide long-term value for its
stakeholders, Hysan Place sought to achieve with Trane these goals:
- Superior Comfort: Ensuring a pleasant and productive cooling environment
for tenants and visitors, by upgrading the chillers to seamlessly
fit the existing space-constrained plant.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Reducing energy costs
and maximizing system performance, with the chiller’s full-load
Co-efficient of Performance (COP) above 6.5 under the desired
conditions of evaporator and condenser temperatures being controlled
at 6-12˚C and 32-37˚C, respectively.
- Prioritized Sustainability: Minimizing
the negative environmental impacts of business operations and
promoting responsible resource consumption by integrating advanced
technologies that reduce carbon footprints with eco-friendly
practices, such as the use of hydrofluoroolefin
(HFO) refrigerant R514A, to align with Hysan's advocacy for
environmental sustainability.
Trane’s Solution
Trane
has successfully upgraded the chiller plant at Hysan Place with a
300-refrigeration-ton (RT) CVHM chiller, a Trane® CenTraVac®
Water-cooled Chiller model that features a compact
design, requiring minimal installation space, and delivers superior
energy efficiency.
This
compact model, designed for easy access through standard double doors and
disassembly for tight spaces, is an ideal solution for low-tonnage
applications, retrofits, and replacements. Despite its size, the CVHM
maintains Trane’s legacy of high efficiency, reliability, and quiet
operation. The CVHM chiller boasts advanced features such as Adaptive
Frequency™ – the industry’s most capable variable speed drives, a
low-speed, direct-drive compressor, and a built-in harmonic filter to
enhance power quality and system reliability.
Furthermore, the CVHM chiller utilizes new-generation HFO refrigerant
R514A with a negligible Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 2,
making it the first ultra-low-GWP chiller adopted by Hysan properties.
This aligns with Hysan’s comprehensive whole life cycle facilities
management plan for decarbonization and enhanced building energy
efficiency.
