Coil starvation occurs when free airflow

Considerations

b. Provide Vertical Clearance

Vertical condenser air discharge must be
unobstructed. While it is difficult to predict
the degree of warm air circulation, a unit
installed as shown on the left would have
its capacity and efficiency significantly
reduced. Performance data is based on
free air discharge.
c. Provide Lateral Clearance
The condenser coil inlet must not be
obstructed. A unit installed closer than the
minimum recommended distance to a
wall or other vertical riser may
experience a combination coil starvation
and warm air recirculation, resulting in
unit capacity and efficiency reductions.
Once again, the Adaptive Control™
microprocessor will allow the chiller to
stay on line, producing the maximum
available capacity, even at less than
recommended lateral clearances.
The recommended lateral clearances are
depicted in the dimensional data section.
These are estimates and should be
reviewed with the localTrane sales
engineer at the jobsite.
d. Provide Sufficient Unit-to-Unit
Clearance
Units should be separated from each
other by a sufficient distance to prevent
warm air recirculation or coil starvation.
The air-cooled Series R™ chiller has the
lowest recommended unit-to-unit
clearance in the industry, eight feet.
Consult the localTrane sales engineer for
applications concerning close spacing
and restricted airflows.
e. Walled Enclosure Installations
When the unit is placed in an enclosure or
small depression, the top of the fans
should be no lower than the top of the
enclosure or depression. If they are,
consideration should be given to ducting
the top of the unit. Ducting individual fans,
however, is not recommended. Such
applications should always be reviewed
with the localTrane sales engineer.

Notes:
1. Ratings based on sea level altitude and evaporator fouling factor of 0.0176 sq. m-°C/kW.
2. Consult Trane representative for performance at temperatures outside of the ranges shown.
3. kW input is for compressors only.
4. EER = Energy Efficiency Ratio (Btu/watt-hour). Power inputs include compressors, condenser fans and control power.
5. Ratings are based on an evaporator temperature drop of 5.6°C.
6. Interpolation between points is permissible. Extrapolation is not permitted.
7. Rated in accordance with ARI Standard 550/590.

Notes:
1. As standard, all 70-215 ton units require a single point power connection.
2. Max Fuse or HACR type breaker = 225 percent of the largest compressor RLA plus 100 percent of the second compressor RLA, plus the sum of the condenser fan FLA
per NEC 440-22. Use FLA per circuit, NOT FLA for the entire unit).
3. MCA - Minimum Circuit Ampacity - 125 percent of largest compressor RLA plus 100 percent of the second compressor RLA plus the sum of the condenser fans FLAs
per NEC 440-33.
4. RECOMMENDEDTIME DELAY OR DUAL ELEMENT (RDE) FUSE SIZE: 150 percent of the largest compressor RLA plus 100 percent of the second compressor RLA and the
sum of the condenser fan FLAs.
5. RLA - Rated Load Amps - rated in accordance with UL Standard 1995.
6. Local codes may take precedence.
7. Control kW includes operational controls only. Does not include evaporator heat tape.
8. LRA - Locked Rotor Amps - based on full winding (x-line) start units. LRA for wye-delta starters is 1/3 of LRA of x-line units.
