4. Specific End-Use 

(a) Describe each end-use that may be reasonably anticipated for the alternative. Be sure to provide a broad description (e.g., terpene-based 

semi-aqueous solvent cleaner for electronic parts, or HR: substitute refrigerant for centrifugal chillers). For a list of end uses, see Appendix A 

to the Instructions, beginning on p. 23. If the alternative is a refrigerant, indicate whether it is a candidate for use in retrofits of existing 

equipment, for use in new equipment only, or both. 

(b) Identify the ODS and the quantity of substitute needed to replace it for each end use in pounds (i.e., the replacement ratio). 

(a) The alternative refrigerant is an HCFC substitute for chiller with R-22 refrigerant, providing cooling 

capacity to an existing chilled glycol system being circulated through temperature controlled storage 

rooms for in-process materials. The refrigerant is all contained within rooftop chiller refrigeration circuit 

all located within chiller enclosure. This application is most similar to "Cold Storage Warehouse" end 

use. The intent of the alternative refrigerant is to be utilized in new equipment. 

The use of this propylene chiller is a "pilot" installatiOn in South San Francisco. Upon successful 

installation, and after regular monitoring of chiller operation over time proves no significant issues, this 

technology could be potentially utilized for similar end-uses moving forward. 

(b) The proposed new chiller would utilize a total of 31 lbs of R-1270 refrigerant, replacing an existing 

chiller utilizing a total of 20 lbs of R-22 refrigerant.

27 . Other(specify) Also see attachment "Saturation Table Propen.pdf' 

28. Aammability: Provide any information on flammability concerns. For example, if any abatement techniques are being used to 

minimize the risks associated with flammable substances or mixtures, detail those techniques below. If a substitute is flammable, an 

assessment of overall risk in each end-use may be required. For flammable refrigerants, provide a fault tree analysis for each end use. 

For flammable foam blowing agents used in spray foam, provide a training program that addresses flammability concerns specific to this 

substitute. (See Appendix B to Instructions for sector-specific data requirements for tlammable substances). 

To mm1mize the ri sks associated with the flammability of R-1270 the following techniques are employed: 

1 -A hydrocarbon safety package provided w1th chiller. Th1s consists of HC gas sensors internal to the unit, set to react at 5% of Lower 

Explosion limit The sensors send a signal to the controller to shut down compressor and pump operation and also set all condenser fans 

on lull speed as well as start the internal machine compartment evacuation fan. These fans Will completely ventilate the unit until manually 

shut-off. ExplOSIOn panels are fitted w1th1n the ch1ller and 1n the unlikely case of an explos1on the panels will lit! and the exptos1on w111 be 

guided upwards and discharged lhrough the condenser fans. 

Dunng normal operation, there is a partial airflow, from the condenser fans (through holes 10 the mner ceiling) and large holes in the bottom 

plates in the mach1ne compartment. So, during operation of the fans, the compartment IS under continuous evacuation. 

Over-pressure protection 1S prov1ded by two pressure release valves on high pressure side and low pressure side, all combined on a 

header that leads a gas release outside of the chiller compartment. 

2 - High and low pressure switches utilized within refrigeration Circuit to protect from R-1270 release due to excesstve pressures or freezing 

w1th1n piping 

3 - The internals of the chtller IS constructed to Class 1 Div 2 electrical hazard rating 

4- New chiller 1s installed outdoors. and provides cooling to chilled glycol medium that is then distnbuted with1n the occup1ed spaces. 

ensures refrigerant stays separated from occupied spaces within the building.
