「無油磁浮式製冷機」採用最新的無油磁浮軸承壓縮機技術，能大幅節省能源消耗量。無論是全新還是翻新的空調系統，採用「無油磁浮式製冷機」已成新的趨勢。

機電署致力為客戶提供優質服務並帶領業界引進新科技。為此，我們在2014年9月派出六位同事遠赴無油磁浮軸承壓縮機製造商 Danfoss Turbocor Compressor (DTC) Inc. 位於美國的基地學習有關重點技術，並與製造商建立聯繫，為日後的支援和培訓鋪路。

事實上，醫院管理局正計劃於未來三年逐步將公立醫院現有的92台老化風冷式製冷機更換為新的「無油磁浮式製冷機」。如試點項目成效滿意，長遠而言會計劃將大部分現有的老化製冷機，更換為節能的「無油磁浮式製冷機」。

在香港，「無油磁浮式製冷機」的市場發展迅速，對合資格維修人員的需求甚為殷切。為確保業界有足夠的合資格技術人員以滿足「無油磁浮式製冷機」的維修保養服務需求，機電署率先於2014年9月派員到美國接受培訓，並同時以用家及客戶的身分與DTC Inc.建立聯繫。該公司亦於2014年12月回訪機電署，雙方商定了今後的培訓合作安排。

DTC Inc.表示，我們是全球首個主動接觸該公司並提出建立培訓合作安排的客戶。機電署亦會密切留意「無油磁浮式製冷機」技術的發展，在適當時候與業界分享有關經驗。

無油磁浮軸承壓縮機結合磁浮軸承和內置電腦控制，這項創新設計取代了傳統製冷機使用的潤滑油系統，並可按不同製冷要求調節壓縮機轉速，以達節能之效。

Preparing for Enhancement of
Maintenance Servicing for Oil-free Chiller

Oil-free chillers (OFCs), which make use of the latest technologies in oil-free magnetic levitation bearing type compressors, offer significant energy savings. OFC is becoming the trend in new and retrofitted air-conditioning plants.

EMSD is committed to providing excellent, quality services to our customers and leading the trade in new technologies. As such, we sent a team of six colleagues in September 2014 to Danfoss Turbocor Compressor (DTC) Inc. in the United States, the manufacturer of oil-free compressors, to learn the key technologies as well as to establish connection with the manufacturer to pave the way for future support and training.

In fact, the Hospital Authority is planning to replace 92 existing aged air-cooled chillers by new OFCs in public hospitals in the next three years. The long-term plan is to replace most of the existing aged chillers with energy efficient OFCs, depending on the performance evaluation of the pilot project.

In Hong Kong, the OFC market is developing so quickly that competent servicing personnel will be in great demand. To help ensure that the trade will have adequate competent personnel to satisfy the OFC market in future, EMSD has made the first move to establish contact with DTC Inc., in our capacity as a user client, via the U.S. training trip in September 2014. The company has also paid us a follow-up visit in December 2014, when both parties agreed on future training arrangements.

According to the company, we are their first client in the world to have initiated such contact and training arrangements. EMSD will keep a close eye on developments and share our OFC experiences with the trade in due course.

The OFC compressor is an innovative machine with a magnetic levitation bearing and built-in computerised control. Such design can eliminate the oil lubricating circuit in conventional refrigeration machines. The built-in control can also operate the compressor at variable speeds so as to suit different cooling demand, thereby saving significant energy.

Open Day, Fun Way to Learn and Play

EMSD’s diverse services make up the very fabric of life in Hong Kong. To familiarise the public with our work, we held our departmental Open Day on 1-2 November 2014 at EMSD Headquarters, Kowloon Bay. The two-day event attracted more than 5,000 visitors, a significant increase compared to the 2010 Open Day.

A visitor noted, “We are interested in finding out what EMSD does, and we want to know more!” The Open Day was a good opportunity to learn more about EMSD in a fun way.

The event featured a wide range of entertaining activities and educational programmes for the public to take a close look at how EMSD works, and learn more about electrical and mechanical safety, our energy efficiency initiatives as well as engineering services. There were thematic tours, display panels, interactive booths and model exhibits. School students were invited to share on stage their experiences in energy saving.

Exhibition highlights included advanced E&M technologies and interactive models that the public would not normally have a chance to see. Examples included a quadcopter for safety inspection of gas pipe mounted on the exterior wall of a building, an ultrasonic detection device for underground cables, a railway track gauge, a lift model for demonstration of lift operation, the airfield ground lighting system, various medical equipment, the model of seaport passenger boarding bridges at the Cruise Terminal, as well as 3D scanning and building information modelling demonstrations.

The spots of interest in our Headquarters building were also opened to the public for viewing, such as the Education Path, the vehicle maintenance workshop for the government fleet, training workshop and the North Plant of the Kai Tak District Cooling System adjacent to our Headquarters. Guided tours of these venues attracted hundreds of enthusiastic visitors.

機電署一直為高山劇場的舞台燈光、音響及後台系統提供全面的操作及維修保養服務。這個服務模式亦伸延至2014年10月啟用的高山劇場新翼。我們透過康樂及文化事務署進行的公開招標奪得這份服務合約。高山劇場聘請單一承辦商為場地提供操作及維修保養服務，有別於聘用個別服務承辦商負責各個系統的一貫做法。因此，高山劇場成為唯一採用這種一站式服務模式的政府表演場地，這個模式可讓租用者盡快布置場地，及早開始綵排工作，充分利用租賃場地的時間。

我們善用市場力量，透過調派承辦商的工作人員，成功為駐場團隊增添人手，以將服務伸延至高山劇場新翼。我們的同事密切監督承辦商的工作，透過這種由駐場同事與承辦商組合的模式，我們可繼續為客戶提供優質服務。

高山劇場新翼的中型劇場和新設施，為劇場提供有利條件，成為粵劇演出、排練和培訓基地。新翼與舊翼配合，為粵劇這種傳統藝術表演和其他藝術活動提供重要支援。

Comprehensive Services for Ko Shan Theatre and New Wing

EMSD has all along provided comprehensive O&M services for stage lighting, stage audio and backstage systems at Ko Shan Theatre (Theatre). This service mode has been extended to the Ko Shan Theatre New Wing (New Wing), which opened in October 2014. We won this service contract via open tender invited by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. In a departure from the usual practice of employing separate service provider for each system, the Theatre engaged one contractor to provide all O&M services, becoming the only government performing arts venue to adopt this one-stop service mode. Under a single service provider, venue hirers can set up and start rehearsals more quickly, fully utilising rental time.

To better utilise market forces, we have successfully beefed up our team through the deployment of contractors’ staff, enabling the team to extend its coverage of service to the New Wing as well. With combination of our in-house staff and the contractors under close supervision of our staff, we can continue to deliver excellent service to clients.

The New Wing is complete with a medium-sized theatre and new facilities for Ko Shan Theatre to become a base for Cantonese opera performances, rehearsals and training. It complements the old wing in supporting this traditional art form and other art activities.

建築資訊模型（BIM）技術透過數碼科技，將建築設計提升至三維立體層面。這是目前建造業界的嶄新主流技術，具有多項優點，如減少施工錯誤及因而導致的工程更改，從而加快工程進度，降低設計和建築成本。

儘管BIM技術在提高操作及維修保養效率方面有眾多潛在優點，但在建築物維修保養上的應用，尤其是與資產管理（AM）的融合，在香港仍未普及。 機電署於2014年在總部大樓開展一個試點項目，測試BIM-AM的資訊產業管理平台可如何改善建築物的操作及維修保養效率。

這個試點項目也是發展局給我們的一項任務，以研究BIM-AM技術在建築物操作及維修保養上的應用。 這個試點項目有幾個重要步驟。我們首先建造一個BIM模型以存儲總部大樓選定區域的保養和設施詳細資料。為了測試BIM-AM的資訊產業管理平台如何簡化操作及維修保養的工作流程，以至庫存管理和事故處理，我們進行模擬，觀察BIM-AM如何配合樓宇管理系統，幫助我們快速確定現有機電系統內的故障位置並予以修復。

BIM-AM平台更易於與日後安裝的電子系統，例如射頻識別、實時定位和閉路電視系統等配合，同時方便透過流動裝置操作，讓所有相關人士，例如物業管理員、操作及維修保養人員和承辦商，能更有效地工作。

作為操作及維修保養行業的先驅，我們深信這個試點項目將令我們的總部大樓，成為香港在操作及維修保養與資產管理方面的BIM技術應用典範。

Building Information Modelling Trial Enhances Asset Management at EMSD Headquarters

Building Information Modelling (BIM) uses digital technology to transform buildings design into a 3D model. Now as a mainstream technology in the construction industry, it has many benefits such as reducing construction errors and subsequent engineering changes, thus speeding up project progress and minimising costs in both design and construction.

However, BIM application to O&M in buildings is not common in Hong Kong, despite its potential benefits in improving O&M efficiencies, especially if integrated with asset management (AM).

EMSD started a pilot project in 2014 at its Headquarters to test how an integrated BIM-AM model may improve O&M efficiencies in buildings. The pilot project is also a response to Development Bureau’s task for EMSD to study BIM application in O&M of buildings.

The pilot project has several key steps. A BIM trial model storing detailed maintenance and equipment information of selected areas in our Headquarters was built. To test how an integrated BIM-AM model can streamline O&M workflow, as well as inventory management and incident handling, we ran simulations to see how the model can interface with our Building Management System in order to help us quickly locate and rectify faults in existing E&M systems.

The BIM-AM platform can interface easily with electronic systems to be installed in future, such as Radio Frequency Identification, Real Time Location and CCTV Systems. It is also easily operated via mobile tablets, enabling all parties concerned, such as estate management staff, O&M staff and contractors, to work more effectively.

As a pioneer of the O&M trade, we believe the pilot project will make our Headquarters a showcase for BIM application in O&M and asset management in Hong Kong.

Details of the BIM-AM project can be viewed in videos from the QR code below, or on: http://www.emsd.gov.hk/emsd/vl/34/s1.html
