SAFETY WARNING
CG-SVX038A-EN
Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servici ng
this unit.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as
required. Your personal safety and the proper operation of
this machine depend upon the strict observance of these
precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING
CAUTIONs
NOTICE
Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made
chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants
that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and
those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and
Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these
compounds have the same potential impact to the
environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of
all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs
and HCFCs such as saturated or unsaturated HFCs and
HCFCs.
Important Responsible Refrigerant
Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our customers, and the air
conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For
the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth
the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and
recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is
used in these service procedures. In addition, some states
or municipalities may have additional requirements that
must also be adhered to for responsible management of
refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding
Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious
injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified
personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field
wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for
field wiring installation and grounding as described in
NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken
could result in death or serious injury. Technicians, in

Refer to SS-APG014*-EN Application Guide – Pairing Trane
CCAR Compressor Chillers (20 to 65 tons) with Trane CAUJ
Air-Cooled Condensers (20 to 80 tons).
In general, the minimum outdoor ambient temperature for
operation of CCAR compressor chiller in combination with
a CAUJ air cooled condenser is 40°F. In some cases, with
factory application approval, the CCAR/CAUJ combination
can be operated down to the 20°F ambient.
This minimum is primarily driven by compressor chiller
starting considerations and not by effectiveness of
condenser ambient controls once the system is up and
running. Fan cycling and optimal low ambient dampers do
not mitigate the low ambient starting challenge. On a cold
day with outdoor ambient temperature below 40°F, the
liquid line pressure at the expansion valve inlet, in most
circumstances, is extremely low. On start, the suction
pressure tends to plunge into the freezing range
potentially causing a nuisance fault.
Contact the factory to request application approval for
applications where CCAR/CAUJ combination is intended
for operation with ambient temperature below 40°F.
Maximum Ambient Temperature Limit
The maximum ambient temperature limit for the CCAR/
CAUJ operation is 110°F.

Storage
NOTICE:
Store Units Above Freezing!
Store these units in a protected area above freezing
(32°F) only. Do not store outdoors with a protective
covering such as a plastic shroud. This can result in
excessive water condensation that could damage
controls and other components.
These units are designed for indoor installation above
freezing (32°F) only. Store the unit in a suitable
weatherproof location above 32°F, vibration free, and
secure area. Periodically check the pressure in each
refrigerant circuit to verify that the refrigerant charge is
intact. If it is not, contact a qualified service organization
and the appropriate sales office. If the unit is still under
factory warranty, you must follow warranty procedure
prior to calling for service.
Noise Considerations
Locate the unit away from sound-sensitive areas. If
necessary, install the optional isolators under the unit and/
or the optional factory sound attenuation compressor
blankets or attenuation cabinet. Install vibration isolators
in all piping and use flexible electrical conduit. Consult an
acoustical engineer for critical applications.
Foundation
A base or foundation is recommended for most
installations. Provide a level surface strong enough to
support the unit. Refer to “Dimensions and Weights,” p. 11
for dimensions and weights. A flexible (isolated) concrete
foundation or footings at each loading point will reduce
transmission of vibration. Install anchor bolts in the
concrete to secure the unit. If the floor is warped, uneven
or in poor condition, make necessary repairs before
positioning the unit. Once the unit is in place, it should be
level, within 1/4 inch over its entire length and width.
Clearances
Provide enough space around the unit to allow the
installation and maintenance personnel unrestricted
access to all service points. Unit dimensions are given in
“Dimensions and Weights,” p. 11. There should be
adequate clearance for condenser and compressor
servicing. A minimum of three feet is recommended for
effective compressor service. A minimum clearance of
3 ft.-6 inches is required to open the control panel doors.

each other (front-to-front or back-to-back) or to other
electrically live parts. See Section 110.26 of National
Electrical Code (NEC).
Important: In all cases, local codes will take precedence
over these recommendations.
Ventilation
Provisions must be made to remove heat generated by
unit operation from the equipment room. Ventilation must
be adequate to maintain an ambient temperature lower
than 125°F.
The condenser relief valve on these units must be vented
in accordance with all local and national codes.
Drainage
Locate the unit near a large capacity drain for condenser
drain-down during shutdown or repair.
Handling
Rigging/Lifting Procedure
If the CGWR/CCAR is not moved using a forklift and the
forklift pockets provided as part of the chiller's frame, then
the chiller should be lifted and moved by using the lifting
rails as outlined in Step 1 through Step 8.
A set of lifting rails is shipped loose and attached to the unit
skid. Install the lifting rails and lift as shown below:
WARNING
Heavy Objects!
Failure to follow instructions below or properly lift unit
could result in unit dropping and possibly crushing
operator/technician which could result in death or
serious injury, and equipment or property-only damage.
Ensure that all the lifting equipment used is properly
rated for the weight of the unit being lifted. Each of the
cables (chains or slings), hooks, and shackles used to
lift the unit must be capable of supporting the entire
weight of the unit. Lifting cables (chains or slings) may
not be of the same length. Adjust as necessary for even
unit lift.
CCAR and CGWR units are shipped stretch-wrapped and
bolted to a shipping skid (unless other than standard
shipping is selected).
The skidded unit can be moved by using a fork truck of
suitable capacity. Refer to “Dimensions and Weights,”
p. 11 for unit weights.
When moving the unit, the lifting forks must be positioned
under the shipping skid as wide as possible where labeled.
Lift the unit and move it to the desired location.
Once the unit is at the installation location, remove the
stretch wrap. Inspect the unit for damage and report if
damage is found.
The optional unit isolators (if ordered) are secured to the
shipping skid or in the unit control panel. Other optional
“ship loose” items may be attached to the skid or shipped
separately depending on options selected.

support the weight of the unit. A mounting hole is
provided at each of the unit mounting locations. Provide a
means of securely anchoring the unit to the mounting
surface. Level the unit carefully.
Neoprene Isolator Pad Mounting
(Optional)
The optional neoprene isolator pads are to be placed
between the direct mounting surface and each of the
chiller's mounting locations. To help distribute the chiller's
load to the neoprene pads, place the 6" x 6" mounting
plates between each pad and the chiller. Provide a means
of securely anchoring the chiller to the mounting surface.
Level the unit carefully as instructed in “Unit Leveling,”
p. 18.
Compressor Mounting
All compressors are rigidly bolted with compressor
isolation mounts to compressor mounting rails (tandem
compressor sets) or directly to the unit base. No additional
isolation or leveling is required. Inspect prior to start up to
insure bolts are present and tight, and that no shipping
damage has occurred.
Unit Leveling
Before tightening the mounting bolts, level the unit frontto-back and end-to-end. Unit must be level within 1/4”
from front-to-back and within 1/4” over the length of the
unit. The unit’s base deck can be used for leveling. Use
shims as required to properly level unit base.

Unit Piping
Water Piping — General
Make water piping connections to the evaporator and
condenser (CGWR only). Isolate and support piping to
prevent stress on the unit. Use unions, flanges or grooved
lock type fittings to simplify disassembly and facilitate
service procedures. Use vibration eliminators to prevent
transmitting vibrations to the water lines. Install
thermometers in the lines to monitor evaporator and
condenser water temperatures. Install balancing cocks in
both the leaving chilled water and condenser water lines.
These valves can be used to establish a balanced water
flow. Entering and leaving chilled and condenser water
lines should have shutoff valves installed to isolate the
heat exchanger for service. See Figure 3, p. 21 for chilled
water piping schematic and Figure 4, p. 22 for condenser
water piping schematic.
Do not overtighten connections. Use a pipe sealant such as

waterside system design. If an accurate
measurement of flow rate is required, an accurate
flow measurement device must be installed in the
water line.
Water Treatment
NOTICE:
Proper Water Treatment Required
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in this
unit could result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or
slime. It is recommended that the services of a qualified
water treatment specialist be engaged to determine
what water treatment, if any, is required. Trane
assumes no responsibility for equipment failures which
result from untreated or improperly treated water, or
saline or brackish water.
Using untreated or improperly treated water in these units
may result in inefficient operation and possible tube and/
or brazed plate damage. Consult a qualified water
treatment specialist to determine if treatment is needed.
NOTICE:
Waterborne Debris!
To prevent evaporator or condenser damage,
evaporator and condenser strainers must be installed in
the water supplies to protect components from water
born debris. Removal of wye strainer or screen will void
the warranty on the brazed plate evaporator.
Chilled Water Piping
Piping and specialties must be installed in accordance
with national and local codes.
Water Flow Rates
Establish balanced water flow through both the
evaporator and condenser. Flow rates should fall between
the minimum and maximum values given in General Data
Tab l e 1 and Table 2, p. 7. Flow rates above or below these
values can cause equipment damage or improper unit
operation. Measure the evaporator and condenser water
pressure drop at the gauge ports located adjacent to the
heat exchanger, before any piping specialty components,
such as wye strainer. Evaporator water pressure drop
curves are shown in Table 5, p. 23. Condenser pressure
drop curves are shown in Table 6, p. 23.
Optional inlet wye strainer has an outlet port that can be
used for measuring inlet evaporator water pressure, if it is
installed immediately adjacent to the evaporator inlet.
Note: Evaporator and condenser pressure drop
measurement is for an approximation and is to be
used as a tool to estimate flow rate and as an aid in
CG-SVX038A-EN19
Chilled water piping and associated components shall be
installed in accordance with Figure 3, p. 21. Chilled water
inlet and outlet types, sizes and locations are provided in
Table 4, p. 12 and Table 5, p. 14. Chilled water piping must
rise above the chiller to ensure the evaporator is full of
water and void of air at all times. All chilled water lines
must be insulated to minimize heat gain and prevent
condensation.
Brazed Plate Evaporator
Trane CGWR/CCAR chillers are equipped with brazed plate
evaporators made of stamped stainless steel plates,
furnace brazed together with copper to form a durable
high efficiency heat exchanger. Because of the small
complex geometry of the flow passages, it is imperative
customers take all precautions to ensure these
evaporators are not fouled by large particles or internal
mineral deposits. For this reason, a 20 mesh wye strainer
is required in the inlet chilled water line. Operation of the
chiller without this wye strainer or the wye strainer 20
mesh screen will void the chiller warranty. Chemical

NOTICE:
Excessive Water Pressure!
To prevent condenser or regulating valve damage, do
not exceed nameplate condenser water pressure.
NOTICE:
Unexpected Chiller Start!
Failure to follow instructions could cause the chiller to
start unexpectedly which could result in equipment or
property damage. An external source (EMS, time clock
or any other means) should not be allowed to bring on
a pump that would trigger the flow switch to start the
chiller. The flow switch is meant to act as a safety
switch and not a start/stop mechanism.
Optional chilled water flow switch or other factory
approved flow proving device is mandatory. It is fieldinstalled by others. Flow switch is to be installed and
maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendations and interconnected to the unit control
panel as described in the field-wiring diagram. To provide
additional chiller protection, wire the flow proving device
control circuit in series with a chilled water pump starter

Chilled Water System Volume
Trane requires minimum system volumes as indicated in
Tab l e 7 . Special applications may allow deviation from
these volumes, but only with approval of Trane
engineering. Operation below these volumes will cause
Discharge Pressure Control/
Optional Factory-Installed Water
Regulating Valve
A means of maintaining stable discharge pressure during
full-load, part-load and transient conditions is required.
Saturated discharge temperature must be maintained
between 80°F and 128°F. Trane offers an optional factory
installed water regulating valve that is controlled by the
unit controller. The optional water regulating valve
maintains condensing pressure and temperature by
throttling water flow leaving the condenser in response to
compressor discharge pressure. Field-supplied water
regulating valves must be adjusted for proper operation
during full-load, part-load and transient conditions. Fieldsupplied water regulating valves must also b e a d ju s te d fo r
proper positioning when unit is off.
Alternative field-supplied methods for condensing
pressure/temperature control include the use of cooling
tower control strategies. Cooling tower systems may
include a manual or automatic bypass valve that can alter
water flow rate and basin temperature to maintain stable
condensing temperature at the chiller.
Well or city water condensing systems should include a
water regulating valve and potentially a pressure reducing
valve. A pressure reducing valve should be installed to
reduce water pressure entering the condenser if water
pressure can exceed tube-side maximum allowable
working pressure as indicated on the condenser
nameplate. This is also necessary to prevent damage to

disc and seat type water regulating valves caused by
excessive pressure drops through the valve.
Under full load AHRI standard conditions, and with
approximately 3 gpm/ton cooling water flow through the
condenser, the temperature rise across the condenser will
be approximately 10°F. In all cases, the minimum inlet
condenser water temperature is 65°F.
