Main HVAC System
1.4.1 Introduction
The Main HVAC System for the accommodation block and machinery spaces of the Bonga FPSO is designed to maintain a relative humidity and temperature as follows:
• Summer
− Outside Temperature 35°C Relative Humidity 85%
− Inside Temperature 23°C Relative Humidity 50%
• Winter
− Outside Temperature 20°C Relative Humidity 70%
− Inside Temperature 21°C Relative Humidity 65%
The spaces are maintained by the HVAC System controls at a positive pressure of 50Pa relative to the outside atmospheric pressure. This is achieved by manually adjusting the exhaust dampers during commissioning of the main HVAC System equipment, and also by modulating the return air dampers or pressure control dampers in the distribution ducting during service.
The air conditioning for the accommodation block and machinery spaces is divided into three areas.
• Main accommodation, supplied by AHUs A-1702A and A-1702B
• Central Equipment Room (CER), Central Control Room (CCR), data telecommunications room and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) space, supplied by AHU A-1703
• MSBRs, workshops and stores, supplied by AHU A-1704
Note: This unit is treated as being within the machinery spaces HVAC.
Part 1 Section 1 System Overview
All four AHUs take their supply air from the same common inlet duct which has two 100% intakes: one on C Deck and one on B Deck, at the aft end of the accommodation block.
The salt eliminator/moisture removal coalescer facility is fitted between the fresh air intake louvres and the air handling unit.
The air pressure, temperature and humidity in the various areas are controlled by local control panels. However, the AHU temperatures are remotely monitored and can be adjusted on the DCS.
In addition to the ventilation from the main AHUs, there are also various areas and rooms within the accommodation which are also provided with dedicated ventilation systems. The areas and rooms are described in Paragraph 1.4.2.

Chilled Water System
The two 100% duty/standby Chilled Water Units A-1704A and B are located in the machinery spaces 3rd Deck level to serve the AHUs for the main HVAC System. The chillers are coupled to two 100% duty/standby Chilled Water Pumps P-1703A and B located on the 3rd Deck. These provide circulation of chilled water through the evaporators and common recirculation pipework. Cooling medium for the chillers is provided from the low-temperature Cooling Freshwater System, which is controlled independently from the HVAC System.
Chilled water is circulated through the cooling coils of the four main AHUs, each of which is fitted with a three-way temperature control valve. These temperature control valves allow water to pass through or bypass the respective AHU as necessary to maintain the desired temperature/humidity conditions of the supply air. Chilled water is also supplied to the respective PAC.
AHUs A-1702A and A-1702B
AHUs A-1702A and A-1702B, located in the A Deck air handling room, are 100% duty/standby units, with two supply fans each which provide pre-conditioned fresh air from the air inlet on the aft end of A Deck to the accommodation deck areas. The system is designed to provide a mixture of fresh and recirculated air. Fresh air is taken from a common riser shared with Air Handling Unit A-1703.
Volume control dampers are provided on the return and fresh air inlets to ensure that the correct air ratio enters the various AHUs. The mixed airflow then passes through a bank of panel filters prior to being cooled with chilled water.
Part 1 Section 1 System Overview
Conditioned air is discharged from the AHU fans to the supply plenum and is transferred to the deck areas by a number of duct branches. From the duct branches, the air enters the individual spaces through a number of constant-volume units, variable-volume units and cabin units complete with discharge grilles.
Where the air boxes are the variable-volume-type they are controlled by a local thermostat in the space, this drives the inlet damper closed in response to the space temperature falling below the predetermined set point.
The cabin units have the facility to have their airflow adjusted by a lever on the diffuser to best suit the needs of the individual occupants. This facility is not provided on the larger constant-volume units and variable-volume boxes.
Recycled air from the accommodation deck levels is returned to the AHUs through a number of return air grilles on each deck. Return air passes through the ducting and main riser and enters the plant room by way of a large mesh grille prior to entering the mixing chamber section of the AHUs.
CER, CCR, PABX and UPS Air Handling Unit (AHU) A-1703
Air Handling Unit A-1703, which is located in the A Deck air handling room, is a 100% duty unit, with a single fan, providing cooled fresh air from the fresh air inlet on the aft end of A Deck to the CER, CCR, PABX and UPS areas.

• Starboard Subsea HVAC System
• Compressor Control HVAC System
• Methanol and Chemical Cofferdam HVAC System
• Port Process Module Water Laboratory HVAC System
The enclosed areas of the topsides modules are equipped with HVAC Systems to maintain design conditions and ventilation rates.
Each enclosure has two dedicated air conditioning units, with 100% redundancy, positioned close to or within the enclosed area.
The HVAC plants consist of louvred inlets, filter/coalescer, DX-type cooling coil, air-cooled condenser, supply fan and dampers. The systems are equipped with local control panels and field mounted instruments and controls.
All systems have automatically operated shut-off dampers on air inlets and exhausts for isolation purposes.
Supply system design is based on approximately 80% recirculation air and the air inlets are located to minimise wind effect wherever possible.
In positively-pressurised areas, the air is exhausted to atmosphere by forced draught through pressure relief dampers. These pressure relief dampers are used to control the pressure of the enclosed area.
2.1.1 Battery Rooms
Battery rooms are positively pressurised by ventilation to ensure that there is no ingress of hazardous gasses from outside whilst the ventilation system is operational.
Positive room pressurisation is maintained by exhausting air from the room to atmosphere via pressure relief dampers. These pressure relief dampers are used to control the pressure of the room.
Gas-tight dampers are installed on the air inlet and exhaust on the HVAC System. These are controlled by the HVAC control panel, which interfaces with the Emergency Support System (ESS), and are closed following confirmed gas detection at the inlet dampers.
Battery rooms are equipped with duty and standby HVAC units to maintain room conditions. The HVAC Systems are supported by essential and emergency generators for continued operation in the event of a power failure.
Dedicated local control panels located in the adjacent control/switch room control the battery rooms HVAC Systems.

2.11 Refrigeration
Systems
Each AHU is equipped with a dedicated refrigeration system, to cool the supply air. The following description is for the Power Module Main Switchroom Air Handling Unit A-1770A. The description for all other air handling units is identical, using the correcponding tag numbers.
Refer to Part 1 Section 3 Figure 3.2 for clarity when following the text.
Refrigerant gas is supplied from the discharge of Refrigerant Compressor A-1770A-K-02 to Condenser Coil A-1770A-HAC-01, which is cooled by the four Condenser Fans A-1770A-F-01/A to1770A-F-04 condensing the refrigerant gas to a liquid.
The liquid refrigerant passes from the condenser to a refrigerant receiver for storage. From the receiver the liquid passes through a drier and a sight glass to Solenoid Valve 17-XY-882.
This valve, which operates from LCP-1770, controls the flow of liquid refrigerant to Thermo Expansion Valves 17-TCV-880A/B. The thermo expansion valves control the expansion rate of liquid to gas in the evaporator (Cooling Coil A-1770A-HCC-01), thereby controlling the temperature of the mixed air in the air handling unit.
From the evaporator, the refrigerant gas passes through a suction filter to the suction of Refrigerant Compressor A-1770A-K-02, where it is compressed. The hot compressed gas passes a discharge filter and a check valve to the air-cooled condenser once more to complete the cycle.
Down stream of the compressor discharge is an offtake for the hot gas injection valve. This valve recycles hot discharge gas downstream of the thermo expansion valve to maintain the system integrity and flow during minimum flow conditions.

Control and Instrumentation
1.10.1 Operation and Control
The forward spaces are equipped with a Package Air Conditioner A-1713, which operates independently of the Process Safety Control System (PSCS), except for an Emergency Support System (ESS) interlock.
Fans K-1721 and K-1722 in the forward spaces are controlled by the Safety Shutdown System (SSDS) and operate as single units. The operator can start and stop each fan from the Human/Machine Interface (HMI) and each fan has an ESS interlock.
The forward fire dampers are divided into groups as follows:
• Forward Firepump Room 1
• Forward Firepump Room 2
• Forward Foam Room
• Temporary Refuge Room
• Air Conditioned Spaces
• Deck Store
Fans and fire dampers are controlled from the SSDS. The HMI located in the Central Control Room (CCR) is the primary operator interface.
Forward space fans can be totally shut down by the ESS and, once stopped, all fans/dampers are prohibited from starting/opening until inhibits have been removed from the ESS.
The control panel incorporates this fan shutdown logic from signals received from the SSDS, with confirmation signals relayed back to the SSDS indicating that the required fan shutdown logic has been completed.
Part 1 Section 2 System Description – Hull HVAC
The forward space ventilation system is fitted with pneumatic fire dampers at those points where ducting penetrates fire-rated walls or decks. These fire dampers have a rating at least equal to the barrier that they are designed to protect so as to maintain the integrity of the space.
The fire dampers are controlled via a signal from one or more of the following sources:
• Automatic closure by the PSCS
• Manual local operation of the solenoid valve
• Automatic failsafe closure by the melting of a fusible link
Air pressure is supplied to the fire dampers, which maintains them in the open position. The air supply passes through a solenoid valve, air trigger and quick-exhaust valve to the actuator for the damper, which at 4barg overcomes the return-spring force and at 5barg opens the damper.
When fully open, an operator arm on the actuator shaft operates the limit switch for open indication at the DCS. Local indication is also provided. If the fusible link melts at 70°C, the quick-exhaust valve opens a larger vent to release the air pressure and the damper closes within 0.5 to 2 seconds.
1.11
ESS and SSDS Interface
The ESS will give group or total shutdown commands to the forward HVAC panel depending on the fire and gas conditions.
The SSDS will receive the damper closed feedback signals.
1.12 Safeguarding
Fire and gas detectors continuously monitor the outside air intakes. The normal arrangement is three smoke detectors and two Infrared (IR) gas detectors, operating on a Two-out-of-three (2oo3) and Two-out-of-two (2oo2) voting system respectively. Both sets of smoke and gas detectors interface with the DCS. In addition, the forward airlock gives alarm indication on the DCS from a single smoke detector and IR gas detector located in the airlock.
Confirmed smoke or 60% Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) gas at the intakes results in the automatic closure of the fire dampers and stoppage of the forward space supply fan. These actions are essential to minimise the ingress of smoke or potentially explosive/toxic gas mixtures into the Temporary Refuge (TR) room.
Interface between the fire and gas control panel and HVAC control panel operates on a failsafe principle, ie HVAC supply and exhaust fan sets are shut down and fire dampers closed on loss of the control signal, loss of signal to the fire dampers or loss of back-up air supplies from the air accumulator vessel initiate damper closure. In addition, the fire dampers can also be closed manually.
