New Technology Combines With Renovation
 The expansive Acacia Court Building, originally a state hospital built in the 1920s, has been given a new life. An extensive renovation has converted this 100-yard-long concrete building into a showplace of University Park, located in Stockton’s historic Magnolia District.

Retrofit of an Air-Cooled Chiller with an Oil-Less Centrifugal Compressor
 The County of San Diego's East County Family Resource Center is a 22,000 sq ft office facility served by one 88-ton York air-cooled chiller (230 Volt, R-22) with two reciprocating compressors. The chiller had been riddled with problems since installation: compressor failures, excessive noise, and significant oil in the refrigerant. In April 2005, one of the reciprocating compressors failed again; the replacement cost was estimated to be $12,800. Rather than replace the compressor like for like, the chiller was retrofitted with one R-134a 80-ton oil-less centrifugal Turbocor compressor, a transformer to step the voltage from 230V to 480V, an electronic expansion valve (EXV), and a variable frequency drive to control the two condenser fans.

Ultra-Efficient HVAC
Design and Control
 The County of San Diego Crime Laboratory is a 102,000 sq ft facility that provides assistance to the criminal justice system by analyzing and evaluating physical evidence in criminal investigations and prosecutions. Needing additional lab space, but faced with an antiquated HVAC system and escalating energy costs, the County of San Diego Sheriff’s Department began searching for ways to reduce electrical usage and demand, and at the same time increase the quantity, quality and reliability of their labs. A HVAC system featuring oil-less chillers and environmentally friendly R-134a was designed to meet their needs.

AMP Place, Brisbane
Compressor Retrofit
When one of three chillers failed at Brisbane's AMP Place building last year, a unique retrofit was conducted that not only had the building's HVAC system up and running in less than three months, but also resulted in significant energy savings. Boronia Technologies, the Turbocor compressor distributor (Melbourne, Australia), supplied Airmaster Australia, the contractor, with the TT300 compressors used in this retrofit.
