Air conditioning is on. However, cooling tower can currently be operated only on slow speed which in turn means only one chiller can be run. The one chiller should be able to meet the "load" tonight and early tomorrow morning.
We have been advised that permanent repairs should take place tomorrow after needed parts are procured from supply shop early in the morning.
Per prior discussion with Elizabeth it was decided to make repairs as soon as possible, as opposed to waiting for next week during regularly scheduled hours.
The HVAC temperature in  is 49.4º, which is in the normal range.

08/14/2015 6:30 PM UPDATE
The property manager wrote:
We restarted air conditioning , but it really was nor running appropriately and then the compressors shut down again. Called McQuay and spoke with their after hours technician who is currently in Hershey PA. He troubleshot over the phone and suspected cooling tower issues based on the readings on the equipment. Cacho and I checked cooling tower. It was not running. We restarted and the motor for the cooling tower sounded awful. Shut it down. Called technician back and he is checking to see what resources they have that can confirm exactly where the problem is and more importantly resolve it as quickly as possible. If it is a solely an electrical issue in the form of wiring that should hopefully be able to be addressed soon. If it is a question of a defective part it could be several days depending upon location etc. As soon as I have something more definitive will get back to you....

08/14/2015 5:30 PM UPDATE

05/29/2015 11:00 AM
The air conditioning system is working. Temperatures are back to normal. The property manager explained. 

"Technicians were here to address an issue that came up during a planned pump replacement. Unfortunately, they did not advise us ahead of time they were going to be here today. So no time to generate an advance notice to residents. The good news is that they had indicated that whenever they came in it would be early morning before it started to get hot, and that the outage would be for about 2-3 hours. They were true to their word about arrival time and their estimate of down time was pretty much right on the mark."

The  HVAC temperature is 45.9º.

The manager notes: Please be advised that the central system for the Lauren is now configured to supply HEAT. There are a few items of which you should be aware in order to insure your comfort as well as the efficient use of this system.

1. If your thermostat on the wall is so equipped please be sure it is set to WARM.

2. If your thermostat is so equipped adjust the fan speed to your liking.

3. Adjust the temperature on the thermostat to provide the room temperature desired. Your assistance is requested in saving energy (and therefore lowering gas and electric bills).

4. If you cannot get your convector to function properly please advise maintenance via a work order left at the front desk and your unit will be checked. Typically the usual culprits are bad thermostats, motors, and the like.

The A/C has been restored and is operating in its normal range.
McQuay A/C technicians were here at 6:00 a.m. this morning and spend four hours testing, diagnosing and resetting the system.

The hope is that the adjustments made today will carry us through the A/C season so repairs can be made in the fall. The current  HVAC temperature is 46.7º and is operating within the 45º to 49º normal range.


07/14/2014 5:00 PM
The A/C service people have not yet come today.
