It was noted that the unit has a refrigerant leak at the service port. It was also noted that several repairs had taken place resulting in three different refrigerants being introduced into the system without changing the liquid line filter core dryer. 2 Sensor calibration is an issue. Please see table 2 3 During the testing of the VAV EDH systems it was discovered that the following EDHs were not functional: VAVs 4,5,6,7,10 and 12. Only 50% of the installed EDHs are working correctly. 4 VAV # 7 indicated a negative airflow of -3591 CFM. 5 The pressurization fans were in the off position causing the head pressure of all of the condensing units to high. 5D's turned them back on. 6 Air flow at VAVs 5,10,11,12 had been changed from the original design. It is suspected that the reduced Min air flows across the EDHs has caused the heaters to burn open or trip the safeties. 7 VAV # 10 indicated the damper is at 100% open however the Max CFM is not achieved. 8 TAB needs to be accomplished. 9 The condensing units are showing signs of salt corrosion causing the head pressure to increase thereby causing additional energy costs and reduce mission reliability.

When the EDH was overridden to the on position the discharge air temp leaving the VAV did not increase. This indicates the EDH is not working 2. This EDH has two electrical heating strips and only one is operational 3. The EDH was locked off in the program. However, when the EDH was released to normal operation it fails to operate. 4. The VAV damper is at 100% open however the CFM flow is only 577 CFM. The flow should be at 1425 CFM under high loads conditions this VAV will not perform to design conditions causing the space to be hot. 5. The Min heating CFM that is programed into the controller is 100 CFM. The design CFM is 1915. This low CFM will cause the heater to not heat and possible burn. 6. Both stages of heat were locked off in the VAV controller program. However, the EDH did not operate when the lock was released. The heating Min CFM was set at 100 CFM. The design Min CFM is 1276. The low CFM setting has caused the EDH not to work because not enough CFM is available to remove the heat from the heater strips thereby causing the heaters to overheat and burn or trip the safeties.
