| 1 | Cleanroom application fit | Ability to match the specified process load, operating schedule, chilled-water temperatures, and required continuity of cooling. | Written selection proposal based on the buyer’s design conditions and load profile; stated assumptions and capacity calculation. | 16% |
| 2 | Temperature control and stability | Specified leaving-water temperature range, control method, operating limits, and documented control performance at the proposed conditions. | Technical data sheet, control sequence, and factory test results for the selected model. Confirm tolerances against the project specification. | 14% |
| 3 | Energy performance | Efficiency at relevant operating points, part-load performance, and the conditions and measurement method behind quoted figures. | Selection software output or test documentation showing entering/leaving water temperatures, ambient conditions, capacity, and input power. Compare on a like-for-like basis. | 12% |
| 4 | Reliability and redundancy | Equipment configuration, maintainability, alarm functions, and support for the project’s required standby or redundancy strategy. | System schematic, component list, failure/alarm descriptions, and a proposed maintenance plan. Check that redundancy is defined for the whole system, not just the chiller. | 12% |
| 5 | Controls and integration | Compatibility with the site’s building-management or process-control system, including available protocols, points, and alarm handling. | Controls description, communications-protocol list, point schedule, and interface responsibilities. Confirm compatibility with the actual site system. | 8% |
| 6 | Safety and applicable compliance | Refrigerant, pressure-system, electrical, and installation requirements applicable to the equipment and destination market. | Equipment-specific declarations, certificates, and technical documentation. Check applicable local codes and the relevant scope of standards such as EN 378 or IEC 60204-1 where applicable. | 8% |
| 7 | Materials and water-side suitability | Heat-exchanger and wetted-material suitability for the specified water quality, treatment chemicals, and operating conditions. | Material schedule, water-quality limits, and written confirmation of compatibility with the project’s water-treatment specification. | 8% |
| 8 | Testing and quality documentation | Defined inspection and factory testing, traceability of supplied equipment, and documentation suitable for project handover. | Inspection and test plan, sample test report, commissioning checklist, and quality-system certificate with verifiable scope and validity. | 7% |
| 9 | Service and spare-parts support | Availability of commissioning, troubleshooting, maintenance, spare parts, and clearly stated service response arrangements. | Written service coverage, escalation contacts, warranty terms, recommended spare-parts list, and response-time commitments for the project location. | 8% |
| 10 | Project delivery and documentation | Ability to meet the project schedule and provide complete installation, operation, maintenance, and commissioning information. | Project schedule, scope-of-supply list, document register, installation requirements, and sample operation and maintenance manuals. | 7% |
