chemical ‘white’ smoke generators. All openings in the
ductwork shall be properly sealed followed by the introduction
of smoke.
4.5.1.1.1 Flushing
c) Where make-up or feed tanks are used for flushing, ensure that
the maximum possible pressure is sustained on the system
during the flushing process. This may necessitate the provision
of a temporary parallel feed of mains water into the tank where
the ball valve has limited capacity. This procedure assumes
that the connection of the section from the tank is at a high
point in the section being flushed.
d) Ensure :
(i) that flushing is carried out from the upper to the lower
sections of a multi-section system, finishing with the
lowest point; initial flushing should always be from small

or closed according to the plan for filling (see para.
4.5.1.5 below);
4.5.1.4.1. Pumps
Check :
(v) the level and plumb of pump and motor shaft and slide
rails; direct drive pumps require particular attention in
this respect;

4.6.1.1 General
4.6.1.2 Procedures
c) Fully open the return and close the flow valve on the
pump, close valves on standby pump. Closing the flow
valve on the duty pump will limit the initial starting
current, which is usually excessive at the first time a
pump is running due to bearing stiffness.
Check :
(i) that the direction and speed of rotation of the motor shaft
are correct;
(ii) that the motor, pump and drive are free from vibration
and undue noise;
BSBTC-01 19
a) A light load should be sustained until the commissioning
engineer is satisfied from the checks listed in para.
4.6.1.4.1 and from motor insulation test readings that
further load may be applied. Repetitive starting of the
motor should be avoided to prevent over-stressing of the
fuses, switchgear and motor.
(i) Vent all high points from time to time. When possible
the medium should be heated to maximum permissible
levels to assist in removing air from the heating system.
(ii) Adjust the gland nuts of the pump glands to give the
correct drip rate. (Not applicable to mechanical seals.)

Start to balance the most favoured branch. The water flow rate
of each terminal unit should be balanced to the water flow rate
of the index terminal unit in that branch. Each branch is dealt
with independently. (The main branch valves A, A’, B, B’, C,
C’ in Fig. 1 of Appendix C are all fully open at this stage).
Assume branch A-A’ has the highest unit A1 (remote in
hydraulic terms relative to the circulating pump) is the least
favoured. If it is not, connect one manometer across valve No.
1 and a second manometer across the regulating valve
associated with the least favoured terminal unit. Regulate the
down-steam double regulating valve No. 2 until the percentage
of design water flow rate across the two valves are equal (or
within the designer’s tolerances). Leaving the first manometer
connected across valve No. 1 (a and b) while the rest of the
branch A-A’ is balanced. Connect the second manometer
across valve No. 3. Regulate valve No. 4 until the percentage
of design water flow rate is the same (or within the designer’s
tolerances) as valve No. 1. Repeat this procedure for all valves
on branch A-A’. Remove both manometers and start on the
next most favoured branch. Carry on until the water flow rates
of all terminal units on all branches are balanced within each
branch.
For this stage, the branch regulation valves (A’, B’ and C’) will
be the measuring stations. Check the percentage of design
water flow rate across each branch regulating valve. It will
then be apparent that which is the index branch (say A-A’). Set
the first manometer across valve No. A’ and the second
manometer across valve B’ until the percentage of design water
flow rates across the valves A’ and B’ are equal (or within the
designer’s tolerances for branch balance). Leaving the first
BSBTC-01 23
manometer connected across valve A’, repeat this procedure for
all branches (in this example for branch C-C’) working back
from the most remote branch to the branch nearest the pump.
(Where, at the start of branch balancing, if the most remote
branch is not the index or least favoured branch, it should be
made so, in the manner described for terminal balance.)
BSBTC-01 24
4.6.2.1 Precautions Against Airborne Dirt
(ii) Cancel and lock out any remote control system for
precipitator.
BSBTC-01 26
(iii) Switch on precipitator.
(i) that the direction and speed of rotation of motor shaft are
correct;
(ii) that the motor, drive and fan are free from vibration or
undue noise;
(x) the reduced speed rev/s and the motor running current on
multi-speed motors;
4.6.2.5.1 Principles
(ii) the duct system is complete and leak-free and in the case
of high velocity systems pressure testing is satisfactory;
(i) If the indications are that the total air flow rate handled
by the system is less than 100% of the design then
physical changes to the air handling system will probably
be necessary before regulation can begin. The fan
performance curve and a measurement of fan motor
current will assist in assessment of the total air flow.
(iii) What are the indicated values of air flow in each branch
A, B, C and each sub-branch AA, AB, etc., of the
system? (obtainable by totalling appropriate sub-branch
values). This will usually determine the order in which
branches and groups of terminals are tackled in the
regulation procedure.
(ii) With the same instrument and using the same method,
measure the air flow at terminal No.102 and express this
also as indicated percentage of design air flow.
(vii) Return to No.101 and measure the indicated air flow now
at No.101. Again express this as an indicated percentage
of design air flow.
(x) If the indicated percentages of design air flow are still not
within the tolerances specified, make a further careful
adjustment of No.102 damper, take new readings of
indicated air flow at No.102 and No.101 and make a
further comparison.
a) Measure the absolute value of the total air flow rate with
pitot tube and manometer, preferably in the main duct.
Where a reliable reading cannot be obtained in the main
duct, the total air flow can be established by adding the
branch (or zone) air flow rates which in this instance
shall be measured by pitot tube and manometer.
(iv) For those units that are not factory preset, dial the proper
setting on the l/s calibrated scale on the mechanical
volume regulator or set the air quantity using the
pneumatic volume regulator or the pressure differential
across the balancing orifice and the manufacturer’s
calibration curve.
(xi) Item 7) to 10) should be taken with the return exhaust fan
operating and the system sets on minimum outdoor air.
(xii) Set the outlets to design volume with the VAV box on
maximum flow setting. Verify the minimum flow
setting.
(xvi) Check the return air fan speed or inlet vane damper to be
sure it is tracking with the supply fan to assure proper
outside air volume.
BSBTC-01 43
(xvii) The system should then be placed on 100% outside air
(weather permitting) and supply and return fans checked
for power and static pressure.
(iv) Beginning on the floor nearest the main supply duct, start
the first pass around the system, reading and adjusting as
you go. If all unit dampers are open, set the units on the
floor nearest the main supply duct about 10% under
design capacity.

repaired while the system is under pressure.
4.6.3.2.4 Charging
a) Procedures
b) System Checks
(iv) This method does not take into account any pressure drop
in the low side of the system (suction lines are normally
designed for 0.07 bar maximum pressure drop). If
abnormal pressure drop is suspected, steps should be
taken to measure it and determine the reason.
Check :
BSBTC-01 54
that all refrigerant circuit shut-off valves are in open
position, except for bypass valves; especially ensure that
the condenser liquid line valve is open;
c) Start-Up
(i) Turn the compressor over several times by hand from the
drive coupling (or vee-belts), and ensure there is free
movement of all rotating parts. Disconnect drive
coupling or vee-belt. Check the correct direction of
motor.

second intervals) and observe :
BSBTC-01 55
- the motor starting current;
d) Shut-Down
e) Running-In
(vii) Low pressure cut-out. Close the liquid line shut off valve
(isolating valve on liquid receiver or cause the liquid line
solenoid valve to close). The compressor will then
reduce pressure in the evaporator. Check that the low
pressure cut-out operates at the suction pressure
recommended. Watch the suction gauge carefully, do not
BSBTC-01 57
allow the suction pressure (particularly with water
chillers) to fall more than about 0.1 bare below the
recommended setting. Open the valve and check the
pressure at which compressor cuts in. Isolating valves
should be opened and closed as slowly as possible.
(v) Check the drive belts for proper tension and alignment.
Check :
(iii) that liquid line and float valve assembly are complete;
(vi) that the purge unit and small-bore accessory piping are
completed, including cooling water connections where

BSBTC-01 79
(vii) Use entering and leaving dry and wet bulb temperatures
to determine the rate of evaporation involved.
4.6.4.1 General
It is essential that all wirings within the control panel have been
checked for loose connections, correct terminations and
compliance with wiring diagrams. In addition it is also assured
that functional checks to ensure that all interlocking and
sequencing have been carried out in accordance with the
requirements and specifications.
Checks :
(i) that a full rated flow of the controlled media, the pump
and fan pressures are within design tolerances
immediately prior to setting-up;
(ii) that the input temperature of the controlled media and the
pressure at the input of the controlled device at full
design flow condition are each within specified design
limits and that the pressure difference across the device is
to design requirements.
BSBTC-01 81
The following checks are to be made before switching on the
electricity supply :
(i) that the wiring has been installed to the required standard
regulations and is in accordance with the control
equipment manufacturers’ requirements. Special care
should be taken to ensure that the cable possesses suitable
physical and electrical characteristics and that the
earthing suits the equipment;
(iii) Controllers.
BSBTC-01 82
b) The action of the pressure switch initiating a compressor
start is correct and that the compressor(s) subsequently
effectively recharge the system.
d) Vary the line air pressure to the actuator and check that
the pressure at which the actuator starts to move
corresponds with the desired ‘start point’ pressure.
BSBTC-01 83
e) Vary the line air pressure until the actuator has moved the
device through the required travel and check that the air
pressure change is in accordance with the control
sequence.
4.6.4.2.5 Transmitters/Controllers
Check :
(i) that the actuator has the correct movement so that it will
give the required travel of the final control device;
(iii) that in the case of spring return motors being fitted, the
position assumed upon interruption of the power supply
is correct;
BSBTC-01 85
(iv) that all action intended to succeed an interruption of
power, and the subsequent reinstatement, are faithfully
followed;
4.6.4.3.3 Transmitters
Calibrate as follows :
4.6.6.1 The present state of the art does not permit tests to
determine if equipment is operating with desired sound
levels. Field tests can determine only sound pressure
levels, and equipment ratings are almost always in terms
of sound power levels. Until new techniques are
developed, the commissioning engineer can determine
only if sound pressure levels are within desired limits
and, if not, determine which equipment, systems or
components are the source of excessive or disturbing
transmission.
