Our Services

We provide a full range of CHW commissioning services to make sure your high-rise tower’s cooling system works at its best.

Pre-Commissioning Checks

Before anything is switched on, we inspect every pipe, pump, and valve. We flush the system, clean it chemically if needed, and make sure all instruments and controls are ready. This ensures the system is ready for safe and effective operation.

Testing and Balancing

One of the trickiest parts of a high-rise CHW system is getting the flow and pressure right across all floors. Our team performs differential pressure testing, flow measurement, and valve calibration. By balancing the network, we make sure every AHU and FCU gets just the right amount of chilled water.

Functional Performance Testing

Once everything is installed and balanced, we test the system under real operating conditions. This includes full-load and part-load testing, delta-T verification, and control system checks. We also integrate the system with your BMS so you can monitor and optimize performance easily.

Rental Chiller Support

If the permanent chiller isn’t ready or if the building needs extra cooling during commissioning, we supply temporary rental cooling chillers. These can be air-cooled or water-cooled depending on your site requirements, and they come with setup, monitoring, and 24/7 support.

How Our Process Works

We follow a structured, step-by-step approach to CHW network commissioning. First, we review the design and plans to identify any potential issues that could impact system performance. This is followed by the pre-commissioning stage, where all equipment is inspected, cleaned, and tested to ensure readiness.

Temporary chillers can be deployed if the permanent system isn’t ready, allowing testing under real cooling loads.The next phase is balancing and calibration, where every pipe, pump, and valve is measured and adjusted. This step is critical in high-rise towers, where vertical piping and multiple circuits can create pressure and flow inconsistencies.

Once the system is balanced, we conduct performance testing under various operating conditions, including full load, partial load, and emergency scenarios. Detailed documentation is produced during every step, so clients have a complete record of system performance and commissioning results. Finally, the system is handed over to the client with guidance on operation and maintenance, ensuring that the tower continues to operate efficiently long after commissioning is complete.

Common Issues We Fix

High-rise towers often face unique challenges during chilled water commissioning. One common issue is uneven flow, where some floors receive too much chilled water while others get too little. This can result in inconsistent cooling and increased energy usage. Pressure drops can also occur if pumps or piping are not properly configured, reducing overall system efficiency.

Miscalibrated valves or incorrect control sequences in the BMS can further compromise performance.At HVAC & Power Solutions FZE, we address all these challenges through comprehensive testing, balancing, and verification. By correcting these issues during commissioning, we prevent costly maintenance, improve system reliability, and optimize energy efficiency.

Our clients frequently report smoother operations, more comfortable indoor conditions, and reduced utility bills once the system is properly commissioned.

Costs and Investment

The cost of CHW network commissioning depends on factors such as the size of the tower, the number of chillers and pumps, and the complexity of the piping network. Temporary rental chillers are priced based on capacity and duration of use. While costs vary, professional commissioning is a worthwhile investment.

Proper commissioning can prevent costly errors, reduce energy consumption, and extend the life of your equipment.At HVAC & Power Solutions FZE, we provide transparent pricing and detailed consultations.

Our engineers evaluate your tower, explain the scope of work, and propose competitive rates for both permanent commissioning and rental chillers. By investing in professional CHW commissioning, building owners and facility managers enjoy predictable costs, reliable performance, and peace of mind.

Expert Tips for High-Rise CHW Commissioning

Planning is key. Commissioning should be included early in the project timeline to avoid delays and operational issues. Temporary rental chillers can be invaluable if the main system isn’t yet ready or if additional cooling is required during testing. Every pump, valve, and instrument should be calibrated and checked before testing begins.

Documentation is also crucial; commissioning reports serve as a reference for maintenance, future upgrades, and troubleshooting. Finally, adhering to internationally recognized standards, such as ASHRAE commissioning guidelines, ensures that the system is efficient, compliant, and reliable.

Case Studies  Real Projects

In Dubai Marina Tower, we completed full CHW network commissioning on schedule, using temporary chillers during peak summer testing. After balancing and calibration, energy efficiency improved by 15%, and the building’s cooling was consistent across all floors.

For Abu Dhabi Business Tower, a multi-chiller high-rise system was commissioned successfully. Every AHU and FCU was balanced, and performance documentation was handed over to the client. The result was smooth operation with no downtime.

At Sharjah Residential Skyscraper, we provided rental chillers during construction while performing full chilled water system commissioning. Delta-T issues were resolved, ensuring stable cooling throughout the building. These projects highlight our expertise and the reliable results we deliver for high-rise towers in the UAE.
