LOCATION: Centurion Conference & Event Center170 Colonnade Rd, Ottawa, ON K2E 7J5

THEME: Young Engineers in ASHRAE (YEA)

PROGRAM: ASHRAE Society President’s Address - “Building For People And Performance. Achieving Operational Excellence”

Operational performance is an important process in the management of a building.Buildings often fall short on operating to the expectations of the building designers andoperators. This is because designers are not always focused on operability during thedesign process and operators frequently do not possess the proper to skills to adequatelyoperate the technology incorporated into today’s buildings. ASHRAE and its membersmust take an active role in the ongoing training, engagement and action toward reduc-ing the gap between design, construction and operations. This presentation will explorewhat ASHRAE is doing to achieve effective operational performance and operator experi-ence that is good for buildings, good for those who live and work within those buildingsand good for the planet.

SPEAKER: Darryl K. Boyce, P.Eng.2019-2020 ASHRAE President

Capital Communiqué January 2020 3

The November program meeting ofthe 2019/2020 ASHRAE seasonwas held at the CenturionConference and Event Center onColonnade Road, and the themefor the evening was ResearchPromotion and DonorRecognition. The meeting wasattended by fifty-three guests,which consisted of thirty-onemembers, sixteen guests and sixstudents. The program for theevening was Transcritical CO2Systems, presented by FrederickLavallee-Trubiano. A tech sessionwas delivered by Joel Primeau onCooling Systems 101 before themeeting. Joel will be presentingseveral tech sessions in thisupcoming ASHRAE year.

President Aaron Dobson called themeeting to order. Aaron introducedthe Executive, Board ofGovernors and Chapter Chairsand Volunteers. Secretary RyanDickinson introduced the guestsfor the evening. Andrew Brown,the membership promotion chair,welcomed two new members to theChapter.

Elizabeth Primeau, StudentActivities Chair talked about theupcoming Career Fair at CarletonUniversity Fenn Lounge, March 10from 3-6pm. It’s expected to have asimilar turn-out as last year, with200 students and 15-17 booths; 10booths are still available.

Michael Callaghan, studentactivity committee, talked about theupcoming annual ASHRAE bowlingtournament at the MerivaleBowling Lanes.

Past President and Regional ViceChair, Daniel Redmond, andJacob Hough, presented the firstplace CTTC award for the2018-2019 chapter competition toDaniel Roy of CIMA+ for theGiant Tiger, as well as first placefor the New CommercialBuildings category in Region II.

Adam Moons, President-Elect andResearch Promotion Chair, talkedabout the reasons to invest inASHRAE, and presented the majordonor awards.

There was one table top for theevening. FrederickLavallee-Trubiano from LMPtalked about his table top as amanufacturer of refrigerantsystems, specializing in CO2.

Dinner was salad with chicken withvegetables and potatoes, with cakeand coffee served for dessert.

Raffle tickets were sold to win twotickets to the Ottawa Senators vs.the Columbus Blue Jackets donatedby Longhill Energy. A total of $570was raised for ASHRAE research.Evans Mutua was the lucky winnerof the Senators tickets.

President Aaron Dobsonannounced the program topic for theevening, Transcritical CO2Refrigeration Systems, andintroduced the speaker, FrederickLavallee-Trubiano fromMontreal. Frederick is the Directorof Engineering at LMP Systems.

Frederick started off by talking

aboutthe regulations of refrigerants. TheMontreal Protocol is phasing outrefrigerants by 2020 and 2025, andthe allowable limit on the globalwarming potential (GWP) willdiffer depending on the type ofsystem installation. R404 has aGWP around 4000 and is beingreplaced with R448A and R449Awith a GWP around 1000. R-410Ahas a GWP around 2000. R-134Ahas a GWP around 1500, and isbeing replaced with R513A with aGWP around 600. Naturalrefrigerants with a GWP of 1 or 2include ammonia, propane andCO2. Ammonia is toxic, propane isflammable, and CO2 is highpressure, CO2 is a class A1non-flammable non-toxicrefrigerant.

CO2 has a critical point of 87degrees Fahrenheit. Above thatpoint, it becomes transcritical, andthe supercritical fluid is a foggygas. Standard refrigerants operatearound 400psi, while CO2 operatesunder 2 stages, with low pressureup to 600psi, and high pressure upto 1600psi.

A typical CO2 schematic includesmedium pressure compressors, agas cooler/condenser, throttlingvalve, flash tank, flash gas by-pass

valve, expansion valves, mediumand low temperature evaporators,and low pressure compressors. Onthe P-h diagram, from points 1-2,CO2 passes through the mediumpressure compressors where itbecomes a supercritical fluid. Frompoints 2-4, CO2 passes through thegas cooler at constant pressure,and from points 4-7, CO2 passesthrough the throttling valve toreduce the pressure where the fluidbecomes part liquid and part gas.The flash gas by-pass valve takes allthe gas back into the mediumpressure compressors, while thesubcooled liquid goes to theexpansion valves and evaporators.

The medium temperature CO2evaporator operates between -4F(285psi) to 68F (830psi), and thelow temperature CO2 evaporatoroperates between -58F (98psi) up to5F (332psi). The maximum CO2condensing temperature is 60F.

On the gas cooler/condenser side,under subcritical conditions, the gascooler return temperature is 70F(852psi) with an air temperature of60F. As the outdoor air temperaturerises above 80F, the CO2 becomestranscritical. The advantage ofoperating in the transcritical range isthat the CO2 doesn’t condense, sothere’s no latent heat, onlysensible heat. This reduces therequired temperature differencebetween the air and gas coolerreturn to 5F, which also reduces thesize of the equipment. At an airtemperature of 110F, the gas coolerreturn temperature is 115F(1513psi).

Above 110F, there is a lot of capacitysince the CO2 is not condensing andthere is no phase change. Heatreclaim can use a heat exchangerbetween the gas cooler and mediumtemperature to increase efficiency.

Another point that is particular withCO2 systems, is that since thetemperature in the flash tank isaround 30F, if the system stops

running, heat will enter the flashtank from the surroundingmechanical room which may bearound 70-80F. The CO2 liquid willstart boiling and pressure willincrease. To maintain thetemperature and keep the pressurelow in the flash tank, a smallcondensing unit connected to abackup generator is used to keepthe liquid cool.

Ways of increasing the energyefficiency of the CO2 systeminclude:

• Parallel compression usingdedicated separate (auxiliary)compressors to remove the flashgas from the receiver tankinstead of using the mediumtemperature compressors forthis purpose. Advantages arethat the parallel compressorswork at a higher suction groupup to 45F, while the othercompressors work on themedium temperature suctiongroup of 20F. This is moreefficient in warm periods, andincreases the efficiency by 15%.Disadvantages are more suctiongroups and VFD application isrequired for parallelcompressors. • Mechanical sub coolinguses another refrigerant, likepropane or ammonia, whichmoves points 4-7 on the P-hdiagram further to the left,resulting in more liquid to theflash tank and a very smallamount of flash gas. Parallelcompressors are not needed.This results in a 17% reductionin energy consumption, 35%improvement of the EER ofcompressors operating intranscitical mode, and adecrease in the number ofrefrigeration compressorsdedicated to keeping thesystem in positive temperaturemode. • Ejectors may be used toreplace the throttling valve andtake CO2 from the mediumtemperature compressors and

injects it into the parallelcompressors, resulting in 10% inenergy savings in transcriticalphase. Parallel compressors andVFDs are also required.

Using two examples, Frederickdemonstrated how transcritical CO2systems are more efficient withhigher EER values and lower peakenergy consumption whencompared to R404A systems.

Installation of transcritical CO2systems consists of Type L andType K copper, XHP 90 and XHP130 copper-iron alloy, andschedule 40 or 80 stainless steel,depending on the pipe size andpressure. Fittings need highpressure CRN ratings, and all linesneed to be insulated including liquidlines.

Stuart Parson, President ofParson Refrigeration, presented acase study on the Sysco Tannisfacility in Ottawa, which consistedof 120,000SF of new refrigeratedspace. The system was originallyintended to be ammonia, but atranscitical CO2 system wasinstalled. The design included 6racks, 4 on the freezer and 2 on themedium temperature side. Thefreezer has a penthouse styleevaporator system, with sixteen12.5 ton capacity air handlers, andthe evaporators ducted down intothe space.

President Aaron Dobson thankedFrederick Lavallee-Trubiano andreminded attendees of the surveywhich will be emailed. The nextmeeting is scheduled for ThursdayJanuary 23rd at the CenturionConference and Event Center.

ASHRAE Releases UpdatedVersions of Standards 62.1 and62.2

ATLANTA (November 8, 2019) –ASHRAE has released updatededitions of its standards forventilation system design andacceptable indoor air quality (IAQ).ANSI/ASHRAE Standard62.1-2019, Ventilation forAcceptable Indoor Air Quality,specifies minimum ventilation ratesand other measures for new andexisting buildings that are intendedto provide IAQ that is acceptable tohuman occupants and that minimizesadverse health effects.Significant changes to Standard62.1 include:

• New informative tables ofventilation rates per unit areafor checking new and existingbuilding ventilation calculations• Simplified version of theVentilation Rate Procedure,improving calculations for systemventilation efficiency and zone airdistribution effectiveness• Modified NaturalVentilation Procedurecalculation methodology• Revised scope to specificallyidentify occupancies previouslynot covered• New requirement that naturalventilation consider the qualityof the outdoor air and interactionof the outdoor air withmechanically cooled spaces• Humidity controlrequirements now expressed asdew point instead of relativehumidity

Capital Communiqué January 2020 7

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard62.2-2019, Ventilation andAcceptable Indoor Air Quality inResidential Buildings, defines theroles of and minimum requirementsfor mechanical and naturalventilation systems and thebuilding envelope intended to provideacceptable indoor air quality inresidential buildings.

The 2019 edition of Standard 62.2adds a compliance path that gives

credit for particle filtration,distinguishing between balancedand unbalanced ventilation systeminteractions with naturalinfiltration, requiringcompartmentalization limits for newmultifamily dwellings, and allowingfor single-point envelope leakage testresults to be used when calculatinginfiltration credit.

“These standards have undergonekey changes over the years,

reflecting the ever-expanding body ofknowledge, experience and researchrelated to ventilation and airquality,” said Jennifer Isenbeck,chair of SSPC 62.1. “The purpose ofboth standards remains unchanged,yet the means of achieving this goalhave evolved. These updatedstandards will provide greater clarity,with the hope of creating healthierindoor environments for people inbuildings.”
