The pneumatic air distribution system consists of two components including (i) the main air header, one riser to each floor from the header and individual floor mains and MER main air piping, hereinafter referred to as the “backbone” system; and, (ii) branch air lines from room thermostats to control valves and damper motors, hereinafter referred to as the “Branch” system. The backbone system and Branch system are collectively called the “Distribution” System. PNEUMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH SPACE WIRELESS PNEUMATIC THERMOSTATS (WPT) 15974 - 17 01/29/16 DESIGN NO. _____ Existing pneumatic control systems shall undergo a pressure test on the backbone system utilizing a test pressure equal to the maximum operating pressure. (New air lines shall be tested at 1.5 times the maximum operating pressure.) Backbone Pressure Test Procedure Backbone tests described herein shall be witnessed by a representative of the Engineer of Record, the CM or PO, the CID Inspector, the Contractor and the Temperature Control Contractor (TCC) (Branch system lines will not be tested and will be replaced on an as needed basis). After the backbone has been tested/repaired and after the pneumatic devices (thermostats, control valves, etc.) have been replaced, the Contractor shall demonstrate to the PO or CM, Engineer of Record and CID Inspector any lack of control due to faulty branch lines. Those problematic branch lines shall be replaced with surface mounted lines (per Article 3.03.C) on an as needed basis. Step 1: If the existing compressor has not been demolished and the Distribution system has not been modified, isolate the existing compressor and storage tank from the Distribution system by closing the isolation valve and run the existing compressor to determine if it is capable of pressurizing the tank usually to 60 or 80 psi. If it can not achieve tank pressure, then a Backbone test will have to be conducted using a test compressor preferably with a makeup capacity equal to the final as-built compressor. Step 2: Pressurize the Distribution system by running the compressor for one hour and monitor minutes of operation and minutes of off time. If the duty cycle does not exceed 50%, and a pressure equal to the operating pressure has been measured and verified at the furthest thermostat in each Distribution zone, then the backbone will be deemed acceptable and will not require repair. If the duty cycle exceeds 50% then go to Step 3. Verify the last thermostat on the most remote line is receiving a pressure equal to the operating pressure. If the test is run with a test compressor that has a free air capacity that is different than the final as-built compressor, the Engineer of Record shall define what the acceptable duty cycle should be when testing with the test compressor. This test compressor acceptable duty cycle is one that would provide a 50% duty cycle if the asbuilt compressor were used for the test. Step 3: This step will isolate the backbone from the Branch system by removing existing pneumatic room NYCSCA PNEUMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH SPACE WIRELESS PNEUMATIC THERMOSTATS (WPT) 15974 - 18 01/29/16 7 DESIGN NO. _____ thermostats and capping each main air supply at each room thermostat. Also, if Air Handling Units exist, cut and cap the main air supply to each duct thermostat and other air consuming devices such as receiver controllers and temperature sensors. Any new controls for the Air Handling Units (if part of the scope of the project as indicated on the Drawings) shall be direct digital controls (DDC). Before testing the backbone, the TCC shall attempt to find and repair backbone leaks that can be identified in the basement or other exposed existing backbone air piping, if any. The isolated backbone shall then be pressurized using the compressor to determine if the duty cycle of the final as-built compressor will be 50% or less including backbone leakage and the new calculated air consumption from the room thermostats and other air consuming loads. The TCC shall provide the Engineer of Record with the SCIM consumption of new pneumatic devices. The duty cycle of the compressor will not be 50% at this time since the compressor is only running to makeup the backbone leakage. The acceptable duty cycle here is the one that equates to 50% duty cycle using the final as-built compressor when the compressor makes up the SCIM consumption of all the devices PLUS also simultaneously makes up the acceptable backbone leakage. Pressurize the backbone system by running the compressor for one hour and monitor minutes of operation and minutes of off time. Measure the supply pressure at the furthest thermostat in each zone or if only one zone, measure the supply pressure at the last thermostat on the top floor. If the test determines that the final as-built compressor will operate at a 50% or less duty cycle and the operating pressure has been measured and verified at the furthest thermostat, then the backbone will be deemed acceptable and will not require repair. If the test determines that the final as-built compressor will operate at greater than a 50% duty cycle, the backbone system will be deemed to have failed the test and require repair/replacement. The TCC shall prepare a report of the findings of the backbone test. Step 4: The Engineer of Record shall prepare a Bulletin defining the Scope of Distribution System replacements based on the backbone test results and the Contractor’s demonstration of any leaking branch lines. NYCSCA PNEUMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH SPACE WIRELESS PNEUMATIC THERMOSTATS (WPT) 15974 - 19 01/29/16 DESIGN NO. _____ The amount of work, if any, over/under the work scope defined in the Contract, shall be identified in the Engineer’s Bulletin. Step 5: After all repairs have been completed by the Contractor and all contract pneumatic devices have been installed, the Contractor shall pressurize the Distribution system to verify that the final as-built compressor duty cycle does not exceed 50% by running the compressor for one hour and monitoring the runtime. C. Installation Standards for Repairs and Replacement of the Distribution System: Corridor Backbone Lines A one-half inch hard copper header shall be installed from the pressure reducing station area to the location of where the risers will be installed. Each floor shall be provided with a 3/8” main air supply line riser from the basement to the floor.

In the case of retrofit/repair work to older systems whereby the terminal units are to be controlled by wireless pneumatic controls, the new control system shall be a hybrid of stand-alone central unit digital controls (boilers, chillers, rooftop units, air handling units, etc.) and the terminal units shall be wireless pneumatically controlled. See Note 7 below. The DDC Only central units and wireless pneumatic terminal unit controllers shall not be interconnected onto the same wireless network. Specification section 15971 “TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM – (LONWORKS DDC-ONLY WITHOUT NETWORK)”, describes the work pertaining to the central unit stand alone digital controls. Specification section 15974, “PNEUMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH SPACE WIRELESS PNEUMATIC THERMOSTATS (WPT)”, describes the work pertaining to the terminal wireless pneumatic control system. 5. For terminal pneumatic damper actuators not packaged with the central air handling unit or air conditioning unit. Packaged damper actuators will be electrically controlled (unless project is less than $2,000,000 dollars or project involves climate control upgrade involving the air handling units and also involves installation of boilers/heating plant upgrades. See Note 7 below). 6. The Contractor’s backbone field tests and wireless site survey required to determine types, counts and locations of wireless thermostats, repeaters and gateway controllers are in addition to the Architect/Engineer of Record’s backbone field tests and wireless site survey done during the scoping cycle to determine the bid set work scope. Contractor field testing of the backbone is being required to determine if there is any additional required backbone repairs beyond that defined in the Architect/Engineer of Record’s bid set. The Contractor’s backbone pressure testing will be applied to Work in progress where NODs for repairs have not been issued and when work has not commenced to replace the pneumatic air backbone system beyond the Contract defined work scope. The Contractor’s field test is done for the purpose of verifying the work scope baseline of the bid documents so as to minimize the cost of the field change orders. Branch tubing will not be tested but rather NYCSCA PNEUMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH SPACE WIRELESS PNEUMATIC THERMOSTATS (WPT) 15974 - 23 01/29/16 DESIGN NO. _____ replaced on an as needed basis with new surface mounted pneumatic tubing.
