Removing Chiller Pump Flex-Fittings 09/21/2010
As part of our effort to de-install 10 computer rooms from a former Sun Microsystems campus in the South San Francisco Bay area, we removed 19 chillers from the roofs of 6 buildings. These machines provided chilled water to the Liebert Air Conditioners in each computer room.
Here you can see a flex-fitting being removed from a chiller pump. These fittings have to be disconnected and removed from the chiller pumps before the chillers can be lifted from the building roof. The iron fitting on this coupling is rusted – as you can see. Once removed from the building, these fittings will be gathered with other iron fittings and shipped to a metal recycler.
