Ice plant brine chiller
Also called brine chiller, ice plant chiller
Service life
Years in service. The band runs from the shortest to the longest life the sources state, so it shows how much they disagree, not how long 80% of units last. The line is the median of the stated lives.
Basis
- 20 years · Amherstburg: Tangible Capital Assets Policy, Appendix A: TCA Categories, Life Years, and Thresholds, p8 · “Arena - Air Conditioner, Brine Chillers, Compressors, Dehumidifiers” (accounting life)Capital asset policy (amortization period). Approved on text check: the label and value were found on the cited page. Greater Napanee's row says chillers next to rink piping without saying brine; Amherstburg's names brine chillers among other arena items.
- 30 years · Greater Napanee: By-law 2012-11, Tangible Capital Asset Policy, Appendix B Asset Useful Lives, p16 · “E30 Chillers, Rink Piping, Fuel Storage Tanks” (accounting life)Capital asset policy (amortization period). Approved on text check: the label and value were found on the cited page.

Municipal lives for HVAC (D30)
43 municipalities in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta state a life for HVAC as a whole, in 35 distinct tables: 10–50 years, median 20. These come from capital asset policies: accounting lives, used for amortization. They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
Years. Each dot is one stated life and each bar a stated range; equal values stack. The dashed line is the median. Policies that copy the same table count once.
