Broward County Jail
Provided engineering designs for the replacement of 4 chilled water air handlers at the Broward County Main Jail. Each unit was approximately 180 tons with a total of 34,650 CFM supply air and 16,000 CFM outside air. These were the original units to the buildings and were located in two separate mechanical rooms on the fourth floor of the facility. The inlet vanes were removed and the units were retrofitted with Variable Frequency Drives(VFD’s). The 4 units served the inmate areas on floors four through eight and supplied through a high pressure system. Due to the nature of the facility, conditioning of the areas where these air handlers served were not interrupted during the replacement of the units. Temporary cooling and heating were factored in the design of the project.
