NO SUBMISSION DATE {151 I I I On April 23, 1988 at 2316 hours0.0268 days <br />0.643 hours <br />0.00383 weeks <br />8.81238e-4 months <br />, with Unit 1 in cold shutdown and Unit 2 at 100% power, it was necessary to remove from service one of the three control room/relay room chillers, 1-VS-E-4A (EIIS-CHU), to perform minor maintenance. The refrigerant filter-dryer was becoming clogged and the unit was secured to prevent the unit from tripping. The "B" chiller unit (l-VS-E-4B) had previously been removed from service for a major overhaul, leaving only one chiller (l-VS-E-4C) operating. This is contrary to Technical Specification 3 .14 which requ-ires one control room/relay room chiller to be operating and another to be operable. The refrigerant filter-dryer elements of 1-VS-E-4A were becoming fouled with debris and required replacement. Chiller.l-VS-E-4A had recently been replaced with a new unit. This type of debris is not unusual when a new chiller/unit is placed in service. Chiller 1-VS-E-4A was secured, the filter-dryer elements were replaced, and the chiller was returne*d to service at 2334 hours0.027 days <br />0.648 hours <br />0.00386 weeks <br />8.88087e-4 months <br /> on April 23, 1988. A major upgrade of the chiller units has been completed to improve the capacity and reliability of these units.

The refrigerant filter-dryer was becoming clogged and the unit was secured to prevent the unit from tripping. The "B" chiller unit (l-VS-E-4B) had previously been removed from service for a major overhaul, leaving only one chiller (1-VS-E-4C) operating. This is contrary to Technical Specification 3.14 which requires one control room/relay room chiller to be operating and another to be operable. Maintenance was com-pleted and 1-VS-E-4A was returned to service at 2334 hours0.027 days <br />0.648 hours <br />0.00386 weeks <br />8.88087e-4 months <br /> on April 23, 1988. The chiller was out of service for a period of approxi-mately 18 minutes.

2.0 Safety Consequences and Implications The control room/relay room air conditioning system consists of three 100% capacity air conditioning chiller units. The design temperature of the control and relay room spaces is from 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the electrical equipment has been qualified to 120 degree$ Fahrenheit ambient temperature.

During this event, the control room/relay room air handling units, which receive chilled water from the chiller units, remained operable or operating. In addition, there was no noticeable in-crease in ambient temperature of the affected. areas. Therefore, the health and safety of the public were not affected.

3.0 Cause T.he refrigerant filter-dryer elements of 1-VS-E-4A were be-coming fouled with debris and required replacement. Chiller l-VS-E-4A had recently been replaced with a new unit. This type of debris is not unusual when a new chiller unit is placed in service.

4.0 Immediate Corrective Action(s)

Chiller 1-VS-E-4A was secured, the filter-dryer elements were replaced, and the chiller was returned to service.
