Refrigerant
The refrigerant provided by Socit Trane or Trane UK
Ltd meets all the requirements of our units. When using
recycled or reprocessed refrigerant, it is advisable to
ensure its quality is equivalent to that of a new refrige-
rant. For this, it is necessary to have a precise analysis

made by a specialized laboratory. If this condition is not
respected, the Socit Trane or Trane UK Ltd warranty
could be cancelled.

Lifting procedure
e. Before tightening the mounting bolts, level the unit

using the unit base rail as a reference. The unit must
be level within 1/4" (6 mm)over the entire length. Use
the leveling bolts and/or additional shims or grout to
level the unit.
Caution : To prevent damage do not use a forklift to lift

the unit.
- Install clevis connectors through the four lifting plates provided on the unit (figure 6).
Water piping
Thoroughly flush all water piping to the unit before making
the final piping connections to the unit.
Warning : To prevent injury or death and unit damage,

use the lifting method shown in figure 6.
Caution : If using an acidic commercial flushing solution,

construct a temporary bypass around the unit to prevent
damage to internal components of the evaporator.
- Attach lifting chains or cables to clevis connectors. Each

cable alone must be strong enough to lift the chiller.
- Attach cables to lifting beam. Total lifting weight, lifting
weight distribution and required lifting beam dimensions are shown by the rigging diagram shipped with
each unit. Lifting beam crossbars must be positioned so
lifting cables do not contact the sides of the unit.
Caution : To avoid possible equipment damage, do not

use untreated or improperly treated system water.
When completing the NPT-type water connections, apply
a suitable pipe sealant, or Teflon tape, to prevent water
leakage. To minimize heat gain and to prevent condensation, insulate all piping.
Caution : To prevent unit damage, position lifting beam

so that cables do not contact the unit.
Caution : Avoid overtightening and possible damage of

water connections. The lubricating properties of Teflon
tape make the possibility of overtightening more likely.
Unit isolation and leveling

If the unit application requires maximum sound and vibration reduction, use one of the two mounting methods outlined below :
1. Construct an isolated concrete pad for the unit or provide concrete footings at each of the eight unit mounting
points. Mount the unit directly to the concrete pads or
footings.
Level the unit the base rais as a reference. The unit must
be level within 1/4" (6 mm) over the entire length. Use
shims as necessary to level the unit.
2. Install the optional spring isolators at each of the eight
unit mounting points. Refer to submittals isolator placement locations and loading information.
a. Secure the isolators to the mounting surface, using the
mounting slots in the isolator base plate. Do not fully tighten the isolator mounting bolts at this time.
b. Positioning pins are located on the top of each isolator, as shown in submittals. Lower the unit onto the
isolators so that the pins register with the unit mounting holes.
c. The weight of the unit will force the upper housing of
each isolator down. This may cause the upper housing to contact the lower housing. Clearances between upper and lower housings must be 1/4 to
1/2 inch (6-12 mm). If the clearance on any isolators
is greater than 1/2 inch (6 mm), it will be necessary to
use shims or grout to achieve the required clearance.
d. Minor adjustments can be made to the clearance by
turning the leveling bolt ; clockwise to increase the
clearance and counterclockwise to decrease the clearance. All eight isolators must be supporting the entire weight of the unit while these adjustments are
being made.
Evaporator piping
Figure 7 illustrates typical evaporator piping components.
Components and layout will vary slightly, depending on the
location of connections and the water source.
Caution : if the chilled water connections to the evaporator are to be Victaulic type connections. Do not
attempt to weld these connections, as the heat generated from welding can cause internal damage to the evaporator.
A vent is provided on the top of the evaporator at the return
end. Be sure to provide additional vents at high points in
the piping to bleed air from the chilled water system. Install necessary pressure gauges to monitor the entering
and leaving chilled water pressures.
Provide shutoff valves in lines to the gauges to isolate
them from the system when they are not in use. Use rubber vibration eliminators to prevent vibration transmission through the water lines.
If desired, install thermometers in the lines to monitor
entering and leaving water temperatures. Install a balancing valve in the leaving water line to control water flow
balance. Install shutoff valves on both the entering and
leaving water lines so that the evaporator can be isolated
for service.
Note : If proper clearances cannot be achieved using

the leveling bolts, use shims or grounting under the isolators, as required. Isolators must not straddle small
gaps in the shims or grout.

to provide proper water system operation and unit operating safety. These components and their general locations
are given below.
Entering chilled water piping
- Air vents (to bleed air from system).
- Water pressure gauges with shutoff valves
- Vibration eliminators
- Shutoff (isolation) valves
- Thermometers (if desired)
- Cleanout tees
- Pipe strainer
Caution : To prevent evaporator damage, do not exceed

14 bar evaporator water pressure.
Evaporator drain
A 3/4" drain connection is located under the outlet end of
the evaporator. This may be connected to a suitable drain
to permit evaporator drainage during unit servicing. A shutoff valve must be installed on the drain line.
If a drain line is not provided, install the drain plug that is
shipped with the unit.
Caution : To prevent tube damage install strainer in

evaporator water inlet piping.
Evaporator flow switch

Chilled water flow protection is provided by the UCM-CLD
without the need for a chilled water flow switch. A flow switch for chilled water is strictly discretionary but if not installed, a signal must be sent to the chiller to indicate that
water flow has been established, eg. chilled water pump
motor starter auxiliaries.
If additional chilled water flow protections is desired, use
a field-installed flow switch or differential pressure switch
with the pump interlock to sense system water flow. Install and wire the flow switch in series with the chilled water
pump motor starter auxiliaries.
13
Specific connection and schematic wiring diagrams are

shipped with the unit. Some piping and control schemes,
particularly those using a single water pump for both chilled and hot water, must be analyzed to determine how
and/or if a flow sensing device will provide desired operation.
Follow the manufacturers recommendations for selection
and installation procedures. General guidelines for flow
switch installation are outlined below :
1. Mount the switch upright, with a minimum of 5 pipe
diameters of straight horizontal run on each side. Do
not install close to elbows, orifices or valves.
2. To prevent switch fluttering, remove all air from the

water system.
Note : The UCM-CLD provides a 6 second time delay
after a loss-of-flow diagnostic before shutting the unit
down. Contact a qualified service representative if nuisance machine shutdowns persist.
3. Adjust the switch to open when water flow falls below
nominal. Refer to Figure 8 for minimum flow recommendations. Flow switch contacts are closed on proof
of water flow.
Note : The arrow on the switch must point in the direction of flow.

deterioration of Trane equipment. Trane assumes no
responsabilities for the results of the use of untreated or
improperly treated water, or saline or brackish water.
Receiving
- Verify that the unit nameplate data corresponds to the
ordering information.
- Inspect the unit for shipping damage and any shortages of materials. Report any damage or shortage to
the carrier.
Caution : Do not use untreated or improperly treated

water equipment damage may occur.
Unit location and mounting

- Inspect the location desired for installation and verify
adequate service access clearances.
- Provide drainage for evaporator water.
- Remove and discard all shipping materials (cartons,
etc.)
- Install optional spring isolators, if required.
- Level the unit and secure it to the mounting surface.
Water pressure gauges

Install field-supplied pressure gauges as shown in figure 7.
Locate pressure gauges or taps in a straight run of pipe ;
avoid placement near elbows, etc. Be sure to install the
gauges at the same elevation.
To read manifolded pressure gauges, open one valve
and close the other (depending upon the reading desired). This eliminates errors resulting from differently
calibrated gauges installed at unmatched elevations.
Unit piping
- Flush all unit water piping before making final connections to the unit.
Water pressure relief valves

Install a water pressure relief valve in the evaporator
inlet shutoff valve, as shown in figure 7. Refer to applicable codes for relief valve installation guidelines.
Caution : If using an acidic commercial flushing solution, construct a temporary bypass around the unit to
prevent damage to internal components of the evaporator.
Caution : To prevent shell damage, install pressure

relief valves in the evaporator water system.
Caution : To avoid possible equipment damage, do

not use untreated or improperly treated system water.
Freeze protection
If the unit will remain operational at subfreezing
ambient temperatures, the chilled water system must be
protected from freezing, following the steps listed below :
1. Heat tape is factory-installed on the unit evaporator
and will protect it from freezing in ambient temperatures down to -18C.
2. Install heat tape on all water piping pumps, and other
components that may be damaged if exposed to freezing temperatures. Heat tape must be designed for
low ambient temperature applications. Heat tape
selection should be based on the lowest expected
ambient temperature, including wind chill factors.
- Connect the chilled water piping to the evaporator.

- Install pressure gauges and shutoff valves on the chilled water inlet and outlet to the evaporator.
- Install a water strainer in the entering chilled water
line.
- Install a balancing valve and flow switch (discretionary) in the leaving chilled water line.
- Install a drain with shutoff valve or a drain plug on the
evaporator.
- Vent the chilled water system at high points in the system piping.
- Apply heat tape and insulation, as necessary, to protect all exposed piping from freeze-up.
If heat tape is not used, add a nonfreezing, low temperature, corrosion inhibiting, heat transfer fluid to the chilled water system. The solution must be strong enough
to provide protection against ice formation at the lowest
anticipated ambient temperature. Refer to table 1 for
evaporator water storage capacities.

Operation
Operating principles-mechanical
Refrigeration (cooling) cycle
General
This section describes the mechanical operating principles of Screw compressor air-cooled chillers equipped
with microcomputer-based control systems.
- Unit Control Module (UCM-CLD)
- Unit-mounted panel
- Helical-rotary compressor
- Direct Expansion evaporator
- Air-cooled condenser
- Oil supply system (hydraulic and lubrication)
- Interconnecting piping
Components of a typical RTAA/RTAB unit are identified
in Figures 1 through 3.
Overview
The refrigeration cycle of the Screw compressor R aircooled chiller is conceptually identical to that of the
Trane reciprocating air-cooled units. The major difference is that the Screw compressor unit uses helical rotary
compressors, an electronic expansion valve on each circuit, an external oil cooling and filtration system, and
Tranes exclusive Adaptive Control system.
The basic characteristics of the Screw compressor refrigeration cycle provide these units with distinct operational and reliability advantages over other types of units in
their size range.

Cycle description
There is no physical contact between the rotors and

compressor housing. The rotor contact each other at the
point where the driving action between the male and
female rotors occurs. Oil is injected along the top of the
compressor rotor section, coating both rotors and the
compressor housing interior. Although this oil does provide rotor lubrication, its primary purpose is to seal the
clearance spaces between the rotors and compressor
housing.
A positive seal between these internal parts enhances
compressor efficiency by limiting leakage between the
high pressure and low pressure cavities.
Capacity control is accomplished by means of a slide
valve assembly located in the rotor section of the compressor. Positioned along the top of the rotors, the slide
valve is driven by a piston/cylinder along an axis that
parallels those of the rotors.
Compressor load condition is dictated by the position of
the slide valve over the rotors. When the slide valve is
fully extended over the rotors and away from the
discharge end, the compressor is fully loaded.
Unloading occurs as the slide valve is drawn towards the
discharge end. Slide valve unloading lowers refrigeration capacity by reducing the compression surface of the
rotors.
Vaporized refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is drawn

into the compressor. Here it is compressed and leaves
the compressor as a mixture of hot gas and oil (which
was injected during the compression cycle).
The mixture enters the oil separator at the two in/out
caps. The separed oil flows to the bottom of the separator, while the refrigerant gas flows out the top and
passes on the tubes in the condensing coils. Here circulating air removes heat from the refrigerant and
condenses it.
The condensed refrigerant passes through the electronic
expansion valve and into the tubes of the evaporator. As
the refrigerant vaporizes, it cools the system water that
surrounds the tubes in the evaporator.
Compressor description
The compressors used by the model RTAA/RTAB aircooled chiller consists of two distinct components : the
motor and the rotors. Refer to figure 11.
Compressor motor
A two-pole, hermetic, squirrel-cage induction motor
directly drives the compressor rotors. The motor is
cooled by suction refrigerant gas from the evaporator,
entering the end of the motor housing through the suction line.
Compressor loading sequence

When there is a call for chilled water, the UCM-CLD will
start the compressor which has the least number of
starts. If the first compressor cannot satisfy the demand,
the UCM-CLD will start the other compressor and then
balance the load on both compressors by pulsing the
load/unload solenoids.
The load on the compressors will be kept in balance, as
load fluctuates, until the demand for chilled water is
reduced to a level that can be handled by one compressor. As this time, the UCM-CLD will drop off the compressor that has the greatest number of operating hours
and will adjust the load on the other compressor, as
required.
Compressor rotors
The compressor is a semi-hermetic direct-drive helical
rotary type compressor. Each compressor has only 3
moving parts : 2 rotors - male and female - provide
compression, and a slide valve controls capacity. See
figure 11. The male rotor is attached to, and driven by,
the motor, and the female rotor is, in turn, driven by the
male rotor. Separately housed bearing sets are provided
at each end of both rotors. The slide valve is located
above, and moves along, the top of the rotors.
The helical rotary compressor is a positive displacement
device. The refrigerant from the evaporator is drawn into
the suction opening at the end of the motor barrel,
through a suction strainer screen, across the motor, and
into the intake of the compressor rotor section. The gas
is then compressed and discharged directly into the
discharge line.

Figure 11B - Typical CHHB compressor
Oil system operation
Compressor bearing oil supply

Oil is injected into the bearing housings located at each
end of both the male and fermale rotors. Each bearing
housing is vented to compressor suction, so that oil leaving the bearings returns through the compressor rotors
to the oil separator.
Overview
Oil that collects in the bottom of the oil separator is at

condensing pressure during compressor operation ; therefose, oil is constantly moving to lowwer pressure
areas.
As the oil leaves the separator, it passes through the oil
cooler at the top of the condensing coils. It then goes
through the service valve and filter. At this point, some
of the oil is used to control the slide valve movement in
the compressor, via the load/unload solenoids. The
remaining oil passes through the oil master solenoid valve and performs the functions of compressor bearing
lubrication and compressor oil injection. If the compressor stops for any reason, the master solenoid valve
closes, isolating the oil charge in the separator and oil
cooler during off periods.
To ensure proper lubrication and minimize refrigerant
condensation in the compressor, a heater is mounted on
the bottom of the compressor housing. A signal from the
UCM energizes this heater during the compressor Off
cycle to keep refrigerant from condensing in the compressor. The heater element is continiuously energized.
Compressor rotor oil supply

Oil flows through this circuit directly from the master
solenoid valve, through the oil filter to the top of the
compressor rotor housing. There, it is injected along the
top of the rotors to seal clearance spaces between the
rotors and the compressor housing and to lubricate the
rotors.

Oil separator
The mixture oil + refrigerant enters tangentially the oil
separator and swirls around. Thus, the oil (which is denser) is thrown to the outside wall and flows to the bottom of the separator. It then goes to the cooling circuit.
The gas exits out the middle part of the separator and is
discharged into the condensing coils. (Figure 12).

Slide valve movement

Movement of the slide valve piston determines slide valve position which, in turn, regulates compressor capacity. Oil flow into and out of the cylinder governs piston
movement and is controlled by the normally-closed,
load and unload solenoid valves.
The solenoid valves receive momentary pulsating load
and unload voltage signals from the UCM-CLD based
on system cooling requirements. To load the compressor, the UCM-CLD opens the load solenoid valve while
keeping the unload solenoid valve closed. The pressurized oil flow then enters the cylinder and forces the slide
valve to move over the rotors.
The compressor is unloaded when the load solenoid valve is kept closed and the unload solenoid valve is opened. Oil trapped within the cylinder is drawn out into
the lower-pressure suction area of the compressor. As
the pressurized oil leaves the cylinder, the slide valve
gradually moves away from the rotors.
When both solenoid valves are closed, the present level
of compressor loading is maintained.
Just prior to a normal compressor shutdown, the unload
solenoid valve is energized and the slide valve moves to
the fully-unloaded position, so the unit always starts fully unloaded.
The remote CLD is intented for indoor use and is not weathreproof. It is mounted in a molded plastic display box with
a molded keypad. Aithough this is not the same as the
membrane keypad of the unit's CLD, the key locations and
labels are identical
Communication link wiring must be 1.5 mm2 shielded,
and not exeed 1500m for each link.
Remote CLD Mounting

All hardware (tools, screws,etc...) is to be field supplied.
Figure 12 shows the remote CLD panel and the electrical
access knockouts at the bottom and top of the panel. Remove the knockouts that will be used for wire entry, prior to
mounting the panel.
Note : On the back of the panel is a knockout for an
electrical outlet box, if one is to used.
Prior to mounting the panel, the actual microprocessing
board needs to be carefully removed and set aside. To
remove the board, open the protective door that cover the
keypad. Remove the cover plate at the bottom of the keypad, by loosening the screw on the cover plate.
After removing the cover plate, remove the four srew that
secure the keypad (one in each corner). The keypad can now
be lifted out the display box.
Mark the location of the mounting holes, remove the box
and drill the necessary holes in the surface. Put the display
box back in position and secure it to the mounting with the
required screws.
Oil filter
All RTAA/RTAB units are equipped with a replaceableelement oil filter. The filter removes any impurities that
could foul the solenoid valve orifices and compressor
internal oil supply galleries. This also prevents excessive
wear of compressor rotor and bearing surfaces. Refer to
the maintenance portion of this manual for recommended filter element replacement intervals.
The microprocessing board can now be replaced in the

display box with its four attaching screws.
Caution :
The lubricating oils recognised by Trane have been subjected to extensive testing in our laboratories and have
been found to give the required satisfactory results for
use with Trane compressors.
The use of any oil not conforming to Trane required
standards is at the sole responsibility of the user and
could result in warranty cancellation.

Figure 13 : Remote CLD Panel
Remote CLD Panel Wiring

The Remote CLD requires a 24 V power source and a shielded, twisted-pair wire between the panel and the local
CLD.
Note : A field supplied 24V, 40VA separation transformer with electrostatic screen must be used as a power
supply for the Remote CLD.
If the Remote CLD share the 24V power source with other
components, a 24V/24V transformer will be installed before the Remote CLD to prevent control malfunctions.
As shown in Figure 14 the wire runs from terminals J3-1 and

J3-2 in the unit's buffer module (A55) to terminals J1-1
and J1-2 in the Remote CLD. Be sure that one lead is connected to the (+) terminal at each end and the other lead is
connected to the (-) terminal at each end.
Remote CLD Operation

No specific settings are required to used the Remote CLD.
In a multiple configuration, the Remote CLD has the capability to communicate with up to four units. Each unit
requires a separate communication link with the Remote
CLD panel.
Do not run the shielded twisted-pair wire in a conduit that

also contains circuits of greater than 30V
Attach the shield to a grounding lug in the unit's control
panel. Cut and tape the shield at the Remote CLD panel
Terminals 1-3 are for the second unit.

Terminals 4-6 are for the third unit.
Terminals 7-9 are for the fourth unit.
Connect the 24V power supply to terminals J2-1 and J2-2

in the Remote CLD panel. The polarity of the of the power
source is not a concern, but the power source must be
grounded to terminal J2-3

Pre-start procedures
General
When installation is complete, but prior to putting the unit
into service, the following pre-start procedures must be
reviewed and verified correct :
1) Inspect all wiring connections to be sure they are clean
and tight.
11) With chilled water circulating through the system, adjust

water flow and check water pressure drop through the
evaporator are conform to the order specifications.
Refer to figure 7.
12) Adjust chilled water flow switch (if installed) for proper
operation.
13) Stop the chilled water pump.
Warning : Disconnect all electric power including remote disconnects before servicing. Failure to disconnect
power before servicing can cause severe personal injury or death.
Unit voltage power supply

Measure each leg of the supply voltage at the unit main
power fused-disconnect. If the measured voltage on any leg
is not within specified range, notify the supplier of the
power and correct the situation before operating the unit.
Caution : Check the tightness of all connections in the

compressor power circuits (disconnects, terminal block,
contactors, compressor junction box terminals, etc.).
Loose connections can cause overheating at the connections and undervoltage conditions at the compressor
motor.
Caution : Inadequate voltage to the unit can cause control

components to malfunction and shorten the life of relay
contact, compressor motors and contactors.
Unit voltage unbalance
Excessive voltage imbalance between the phases of a threephase system can cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. The maximum allowable imbalance is 2%. Voltage imbalance is determined using the following
calculations :
(Vx - Vave) x 100
% Imbalance = __________________
Vave
2) Verify that all refrigerant valves, as shown in figure 10,

are OPEN.
Caution : Do not operate the unit with the compressor,
oil discharge and liquid line service valves CLOSED.
Failure to have the OPEN may cause serious compressor damage.
3) Check the power voltage to the unit at the main power
fused-disconnect switch. Voltage must be within the
voltage utilization range, given in table 1 and also stamped on the unit nameplate. Voltage imbalance must not
exceed 2%. Refer to Unit voltage imbalance, below.
4) Check the unit power phasing.
5) Check the condenser fans to be sure that they rotate
freely in the fan openings and that each is securely attached to its fan motor shaft.
6) Energize the compressor sump heaters by closing the
unit main disconnects. If unit-mounted disconnects are
used, they must also be closed. If the unit does not have
the optinal control power transformer, 115 VAC power
must be filed supplied to terminals 1TB3-1 and 1TB3-2.
The chiller switch must be in the STOP/RESET position.
Vave = (V1 + V2 + V3) /3

Vx = phase with greatest difference from Vave (without
regard to sign).
For example, if the three measured voltages are 375, 389
and 388 volts, the average would be :
375+388+389
_______________
= 384
3
The percentage of imbalance is then :
100 (375-384)
______________
= 2.34%
384
This exceeds the maximum allowable (2%) by 0.34 percent.
Caution : The compressor sump heaters must be energized for a minimum of 24 hours prior to unit operation, to prevent compressor damage caused by liquid
refrigerant in the compressor at start-up.
Water system flow rates

Establish a balanced chilled water flow through the evaporator. Chilled water flow rates below the minimum values
will result in laminar flow, which reduces heat transfer and
causes either loss of electronic expansion valve control or
repeated nuisance, low temperature cutouts. Flow rates
that are too high can cause tube erosion and damage to the
tube supports and baffles in the evaporator.
7) Energize the evaporator heat tape.

8) Fill the evaporator chilled water circuit. Refer to table 1
for evaporator liquid capacities. Vent the system while
it is being filled. Open the vent on the top of the evaporator during filling and close when filling is completed.
Caution : Once the evaporator is filled with water, the evaporator heat tapes must be energized to protect the evaporator from freezing and bursting if the outdoor air
temperature drops below freezing.
Caution : Do not used untreated or improperly treated

water. Equipment damage may occur.
Caution : Do not fill chilled water system unless the evaporator heat tape has been energized.
9) Close the fused-disconnect switch (es) that supplies
power to the chilled water pump starter.
10) Start the chilled water pump to begin circulation of the
chilled water. Inspect all piping for leakage and make any
necessary repairs.
22
- Measure the system superheat. Refer to System superheat, below.

- Measure the system subcooling. Refer to System subcooling, below.
- A shortage of refrigerant is indicated if operating pressures are low and subcooling is also low. If the operating
pressures, sight glass, superheat and subcooling rea
dings indicate a refrigerant shortage, gas charge refrigerant into each circuit, as required. With the unit running,
add refrigerant vapor by connecting the charging line to
the suction service valve until operating conditions become normal.
Water system pressure drop

Measure chilled water pressure drop through the evaporator at the field-installed pressure taps on the system
water piping. See figure 7. Use the same gauge for each
measurement.
Pressure drop readings should be approximately those
shown in the pressure drop charts, figure 8.
UCM-CLD set-up
Refer to manual of operation of the UCM-CLD,
reference L80 IM 025 E.
Start-up procedures
Caution : If both suction ans discharge pressures are
low but subcooling is normal, a problem other than
refrigerant shortage exists. Do not add refrigerant, as this
may result in overcharging the circuit.
If the pre-start checkout, as discussed above, has been

completed, the unit is ready to start.
- Move the chiller switch on the UCM-CLD to the
STOP/RESET position.
- As necessary, adjust the setpoint values in the UCM
menus, as describe in the Operation Manual.
- Close the fused-disconnect switch for the chilled water
pump. Energize the pump to start chilled water circulation.
- Check the service valves on the discharge line, suction
line, oil line and liquid line for each circuit. These valves
must be open (backseated) before starting the compressors.
Caution : Use only refrigerants specified on the unit

nameplate, to prevent compressor damage and insure
full system capacity.
- If operating conditions indicate a refrigerant overcharge,
remove refrigerant at the liquid line service valve. Allow
refrigerant to escape slowly, to minimize oil loss. Do not
discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Warning : Do not allow refrigerant to directly contact
skin or injury from frostbite may result.
Caution : To prevent compressor damage, do not operate the unit until all refrigerant and oil line service valves
are opened.
System superheat
Normal superheat for each circuits is approximately 4C at
full operating load. Superheat temperature can be expected to be moving around the 4C setpoint when the chiller
is pulling down, the compressor slide valve is being modulated, or the fans are staging on either the same or opposite circuits. Superheat can be expected to settle out at
approximately 4C when the above items stabilize.
- Energize the evaporator heat tape by closing the field-installed fused-disconnect.
- Move the chiller switch to AUTO LOCAL. If the chiller
control calls for cooling and all safety interlocks are closed, the unit will start. The compressor(s) will load and
unload in response to the temperature of the leaving
chilled water temperature.
System subcooling
Normal subcooling for each circuit ranges from 5C to
10C, depending on the unit. If subcooling for either circuit
does not approximate these figures, check the superheat
for the circuit and adjust, if required. If superheat is normal
but subcooling is not, contact a qualified Trane servi-
Once the system has been operating for approximately 30

minutes and has become stabilized, complete the start-up
procedures, as follows :
- Check the evaporator and condenser refrigerant pressures on the UCM-CLD.
ce technician.
23
Unit shutdown procedures
Temperatures shutdown and restart

To shut the unit down for a short time, use the following
procedure :
1. Move the chiller switch to STOP/RESET. The compressors will continue to operate and, after unloading for
20 seconds, will stop when the compressor contactors
de-energize. The condenser fans will be de-energized
at this time.
2. The unit disconnect switch and unit mounted disconnect
(if installed) should remain closed to keep the compressor sump heaters energized.
3. Maintain power to 1TB3-11 and 1TB3-12 to keep the
evaporator heat tape energized.
4. Stop the chilled water circulation by turning off the chilled water pump.
3. Maintain power to 1TB3-11 and 1TB3-12 for the evaporator heat tape connections.
4. Fill the evaporator chilled water circuit. Refer to table 1
for evaporator liquid capacities. Vent the system while
it is being filled. Open the vent on the top of the evaporator during filling and close when filling is completed.
Caution : Do not used untreated or improperly treated
water. Equipment damage may occur.
To restart the unit after a temporary shutdown, restart

the chilled water pump and move the chiller switch to
either of the AUTO positions. The unit will start normally, provided the following conditions exist :
1. The UCM must receive a call for cooling and the differential to start must be above the setpoint.
2. All system operating interlocks and safety circuits
must be satisfied.
5. Close the fused disconnect switch that provides power

to the chilled water pump.
6. Start the chilled water pump and, while chilled water is
circulating, inspect all piping for leakage. Make any
necessary repairs before starting the unit.
7. While the chilled water is circulating, adjust the chilled
water flow and check the chilled water pressure drop
through the evaporator.
Extended shutdown procedure

The following procedure is to be followed if the system is
to be taken out of service for an extended period of time,
eg. seasonal shutdown :
1. Test the condenser and high-side piping for refrigerant
leakage.
8. Adjust the flow switch on the evaporator piping (if installed) for proper operation.
9. Stop the chilled water pump. The unit is now ready for
start-up as described in Start-up procedures.
2. Open the electrical disconnect switches for the chilled

water pump. Lock the switch in the OPEN position.
3. Close all chilled water supply valves. Drain the chilled
water from the evaporator. If the unit will be exposed to
freezing ambient conditions, flush the evaporator with
an antifreeze solution or energize the evaporator heat
tape.
4. Open the unit main electrical disconnect and unit mounted disconnect (if installed) and lock on the OPEN
position.
5. At least every three months (quarterly), check the pressure in the unit and leak test it with an electronic leak
detector to verify that the refrigerant charge is intact.
System restart after extended shutdown
Follow the procedures below to restart the unit after extended shutdown :
1. Verify that the liquid line service valves, oil line, compressor discharge service valves and suction service
valves (if installed) are open (backseated).
Caution : To prevent damage to the compressor, be
sure that all refrigerant valves are open before starting
the unit.
2. Close the main disconnect and unit mounted disconnect (if installed) to energize the compressor sump heaters.
24
Maintenance
- Have a qualified service technician check the setting and
function of each control. Inspect the condition of compressor and control contactors and replace as required.
Periodic maintenance
General
Perform all maintenance procedures and inspections at
the recommended intervals. This will prolong the life of the
equipment and minimize the possibility of costly failures.
Use an Operators log, to record an operating history
for the unit. The log serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for
service personnel. By observing trends in operating conditions, an operator can anticipate and prevent problem
situations before they occur.
If the unit does not operate properly during maintenance
inspections, refer to Diagnostics and troubleshooting.
- Inspect all piping components for leakage and damage.

Clean out any inline strainers.
- Clean and repaint any areas that show signs of corrosion.
- Clean the condenser coils. Refer to Coil cleaning.
- Clean the condenser fans. Check the fan assemblies for
proper clearance in the fan openings and for motor shaft
misalignment, abnormal end play, vibration and noise.
Weekly maintenance
After the unit has been operating for approximately
30 minutes and the system has stabilized, check the operating conditions and complete the procedures below :
- Check the evaporator refrigerant pressure and the condenser refrigerant pressure (25) in menu 2 on the UCM-CLD.
- Check the oil level.

- Oil acidity test
Coil cleaning
Clean the condenser coils at least once each year, or more
frequently if the unit is located in a dirty environment. This
will maintain proper unit operating efficiencies. Follow the
detergent manufacturers instructions as closely as possible to avoid damage to the coils.
To clean the coils, use a soft brush and a sprayer.
Caution : A clear sight glass alone does not mean that

the system is properly charged. Also check system superheat, subcooling, and unit operating pressures.
- If operating pressures and sight glass conditions seem
to indicate refrigerant shortage, measure the system
superheat and system subcooling. Refer to System
superheat and System subcooling.
- If operating conditions indicate a refrigerant overcharge,
remove refrigerant at the liquid line service valve. Allow
refrigerant to escape slowly, to minimize oil loss. Do not
discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere.
- Inspect the entire system for unusual conditions and inspect the condenser coils for dirt and debris. If the coils are
dirty, refer to Coil cleaning.
Note : If the detergent mixture is strongly alkaline (pH

value greater than 8.5), an inhibitor must be added.
Chemically cleaning the evaporator
The chilled water system is a closed-loop and therefore
should not accumulate scale or sludge. If the chiller
becomes fouled, first attempt to dislodge the material by
backflushing the system. If, after several attemps, chemically clean the evaporator.
Monthly maintenance
- Perform all weekly maintenance procedures.
- Measure and record the system superheat. Refer to System superheat.
- Measure and record the system subcooling. Refer to
System subcooling.
- Manually rotate condenser fans to insure proper clearance on the fan openings.
Caution : Do not use an acid type cleaning agent that will

damage steel, galvanized steel, polypropylene, or internal copper components.
Warning : Position all electrical disconnects in the

OPEN position and lock them, to prevent injury or
death due to electrical shock.
Annual maintenance
- Perform all weekly and monthly maintenance procedures.
25
With this information, water treatment firms will be able to

recommend a suitable chemical for use in this system.
A typical configuration for chemical cleaning is shown in
figure 14. The supplier of the cleaning chemicals must provide or approve :
Service pumpdown
The UCM-CLD provides a one-time Service Pumpdown
mode with which the service engineer can start a particuliar
compressor and run it for one minute to pump-down the refrigerant circuit low side.
Caution : Do not use this procedure more than once. The
suction pressure must be monitored with an external gauge.

2) Connect the 1/4" tube and the liquid sight glass between the drain valve of one or other of the oil separators and the Schrader valve on the compressor
discharge line (figure 15). Vent the incondensable
vapour. We recommend you use a Schrader quick
connection stop valve at the ends of the 1/4 tube.
This will facilitate assembly and disassembly of the
tubes and will minimise losses of oil and refrigerant.
3) When the unit has stopped for 10 minutes, move the
liquid sight glass up or down until the oil level is
visible.
4) When you have verified the oil level, remove the 1/4
tube and the liquid sight glass.
Warning : Do not check the oil level when the unit is operating. There is a risk of losing a great quantity of oil.
Checking the separator oil level

Checking the oil level is very important for the unit efficiency. Too important an oil charge would lead to a loss
of evaporator efficiency. A lack of oil could damage the
compressor or increase the noise level of the unit.
Perform the following procedure, and refer to figure 15.
1) Stop the unit after at least 15 minutes of full load operation.

CHHB Compressor oil filter replacement
CHHN Compressor oil filter change
Note :
Routine changing of the oil or the oil filter is not
recommended. The oil filter is oversized for this application and should not require replacement.
Note :
Routine changing of the oil or the oil filter is not
recommended. The oil filter is oversized for this application and should not require replacement.
The oil should be replaced only if analysis reveals that

oil is contaminated.
The filter should be replaced if the oil has to be removed
or if the differential pressure switch senses a pressure
drop across the oil filter over 3.5 bar.
The oil and filter should be replaced only if analysis

reveals that the oil is contaminated. Capacities are
shown in Table 1.
Pressure drops across the oild filter is shown in Figure
17. Oil filter pressure drop is the difference between the
pressure at the oil filter cover plate Schraeder valve, on
top of the compressor.
To change the oil filter in the unit, refer to Figure 15 and
follow the steps listed below.
1. Shutt off the compressor and disconnect all electrical
service to the compressor.
2. Connect manifold gauge sets to the backseat ports of
the suction and discharge service valves and the
Schraeder valve on the oil filter cover plate.
3. Frontseat the suction and discharge service valves.
Separate the valve coupling at the oil supply to the
compressor or, on later chillers, frontseat the oil supply line angle valve.
4. Recover refrigerant from the three connections in
Step 2.
To measure the pressure drop across the hydraulic circuit perform the following test.
Measure the high side pressure at the Schraeder valve
on the oil coder outlet.
To measure the low side pressure, use the Schraeder
valve located after the oil line solenoid valve.
The pressure difference at these points is the pressure
drop the oil differential switch is sensing.
To change the oil filter, refer to figure 14 and follow the
steps listed below.
1. Shut off the compressor and disconnect all electrical
service to the compressor.
2. Shut off service valves A and B.
3. Recover oil from the Schraeder C.
4. Remove the oil filter element.
5. Install the new filter element filled with oil.
6. Coat the new gasket with refrigerant oil and tight the
assembly.
7. Open valve A and B.
Note : The Schraeder valve may have a high quantity

of oil.
WARNING :
Insure that pressure is relieved from oil filter before
proceeding to step 5.
Figure 16 : Oil filter change
5. Remove the seven bolts on the oil filter cover. A pan

may be necessary to catch any oil that is released after
the cover is loosened.

pressure switch
Note : Observe the placement of copper gasket under

one bolt head.
6. Remove the cover and oil filter element.
7. Install the new filter element.
8. Coat the new cover gasket with oil.
9. Install the cover plate plate and cover plate gasket.

10. Install a new copper gasket under the bolt head that
had one at time of removal. Replace all other bolts
and tighten to 20 m.kg.
11. Energize the three solenoid valves on the compressor
by jumpering the proper terminals at the UCM.
12. Evacuate to 400 microns from the three ports in Step 2.
13. De-energize the three solenoid valves in Step 11.
14. Reconect the valve coupling that was separated in
Step 3 or, on later chillers, backseat the oil supply
line angle valve.
Note : Insure that this step is performed before Step

5, as this will insure that the oil filter housing is full of
oil before the compressor is started.
15. Backseat the suction and discharge service valves.
16. Remove the manifold gauge sets.
