This Transmission Material Standard Specification (TMSS) specifies the minimum technical
requirements for design, engineering, manufacture, inspection; testing and performance of
Drinking-Water Coolers intended to be used in the system of Saudi Electricity Company (SEC),
Saudi Arabia.
This Material Standard Specification shall be read in conjunction with the latest revision of
SEC General Specification No. 01-TMSS-01, titled "General Requirements for All
Equipment/Materials" which shall be considered as an integral part of this TMSS.
This TMSS shall also be read in conjunction with SEC Purchase Order or Contract Schedules
for project, as applicable.
The latest revision/amendments of the following Codes and Standards shall be applicable for
the equipment/material covered in this TMSS. In case of conflict, the vendor/manufacturer may
propose equipment/material conforming to one group of Industry Codes and Standards quoted
hereunder without jeopardizing the requirements of this TMSS.

Contained Mechanical Refrigeration Systems
3.6 ASTM A240 Specification for Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel
Plate, Sheet, and Strip for Pressure Vessels and for General
Applications
4.0 DEFINITIONS
A water cooler which has the primary function of cooling potable water for delivery to
remotely-installed drinking fountains, etc. However, such remotely-installed dispensing
means are not considered part of this water cooler.
A water cooler which has the primary function of cooling potable water and also
provides for dispensing such water by integral means.
A pressure water cooler which utilizes a valve to control the flow of water as a
projected stream from a bubbler so that the water may be consumed without
utilizing glasses or cups.
A water cooler which employs a bottle or reservoir for storing the supply of
water to be cooled and which utilizes a faucet or similar means for filling
glasses, cups or other containers.
5.1.2 Type
All water coolers referred to in this specification shall be listed under ETL in
accordance with UL 1995 and UL 399 for Remote Type and Unitary Drinking-
Water Coolers respectively. All coolers shall carry UL stamp of approval.
5.1.4 Refrigerant
The unit shall be fully charged with "ozone safe" refrigerant R134a.
5.1.5 Miscellaneous:
All coolers shall be designed to operate satisfactorily at high ambient conditions as high
as 50°C and to produce a maximum chilled water temperature of 10°C.
5.3 Ratings
Ratings of any representative production water cooler shall have a capacity not
less 95% of its published capacity rating in accordance with ARI 1010.
5.4 Manufacture
a. General
iv. The unit shall be provided with inlet/outlet air openings (hooked
up to ductwork) for condenser cooling i.e. by introducing fresh air
then venting out the hot air off the condenser through ductwork
to the atmosphere.
b. Refrigeration Unit
ii. The tank shall be equipped with immersion type cooling coils
constructed of 316L stainless steel seamless pipe having a
minimum wall thickness of 1.524 mm. Shell and tube evaporators
or open tanks with float valves are not acceptable.
iii. The storage tank shall be supplied with air vent, drain connection
and insulated with closed cell thermo-elastomer with U-factor of
0.048 W/m2°C.
d. Recirculating Pump
iii. All piping and fitting shall be hard-drawn seamless type K copper
and insulated with closed-cell thermo-elastomer with U-factor of
0.048 W/m2°C.
i. General
• Prefilters
g. Phosphate Feeder
iii. Vendor to provide phosphate for least one (1) year of continuous
operation.
The cooler shall be provided with an integral control panel suitable for
thermostat control (adjustable range from 4.45° to 32°C ±0.83°C),
freezestat and factory-set thermostatic expansion valve.

Values are applicable for typical office building only. For buildings with heavy usage such as
clinics, schools, etc., reduce the indicated values by 50% to allow for 2 liters/day per person.
For high ambient areas with temperatures regularly above 38°C or with incoming water
temperature from 27°C to 38°C, multiply people served by 0.75. If make-up water exceeds
38°C, consult for manufacturer's recommendation.

Values include extra capacity to handle heat loss of insulated piping in the circulating loop up
to the length shown. For piping in excess of this allowance, reduce population served by 1.0
people per 0.305 meter of additional piping and the required power for pumping shall also be
resized accordingly.
a. General
ii. The unit shall have a power supply of 127 volt/1-phase /60 Hz
with a 1.80-meter heavy-duty 3-wire electrical cord and plug. All
connections shall be enclosed in a moisture resistant box to
prevent short circuiting in the event of water leaks or spillage.
iii. The unit, except for bottle-type cooler, shall be provided with
non-clogging stainless steel drain and quick disconnect water
connections for easy removal of the entire cooling package.
i. Cabinet
ii. Bubbler
The storage tank shall be supplied with air vent, drain connection
and insulated with poured urethane.
ii. Hot water (HW) dispenser shall be installed inside the cooler
cabinet with 1.25-liter copper tank, heating element, expansion
chamber, self-closing valve, air vent and drain.
iv. HW dispenser shall be provided with push lever with auto return
to "off", solid brass-chrome plated goose neck glass filler and
stream straightener for non-splash action.
ii. The cooler shall have a fully drainable stainless steel 3.5 liter
cooling reservoir, sandalwood acrylic finish with woodgrain vinyl
front panel.
iii. The cooler shall be equipped with food grade silicone gasket
around the bottle to keep out of contaminants.
