General Information

Responsibilities of Installing
Contractor(s)

A list of the contractor
responsibilities typically associated
with the unit installation Process is
provided below. Also see Table 1.

1. Locate and maintain the loose
parts, i.e. isolators, bulb wells,
temperature sensors, flow
sensors or other factory-ordered
field installed options, for
installation as required. Loose

parts are located in the starter
panel on units with factory­installed unit-mounted starters
or in the motor terminal box for

starters.

2. Install unit on a foundation with
flat support surfaces level within
1/16” and of sufficient strength to
support concentrated loading.

3. Place manufacturer-supplied
isolation pad assemblies under
unit. (Use spring isolators for
upper floor installations.)

4. Install unit per applicable Trane
Installation Manual.

5. Complete all water piping and
electrical connections

Note: Field-piping must be
arranged and supported to avoid
stress on the equipment. It is
strongly recommended that the
piping contractor refrain from
piping closer than 3’-0” [914 mm]
minimum to the equipment. This
will allow for proper fit-upon
arrival of the unit at the job-site.
Any adjustment that is necessary
can be made to the piping at that
time.

6. Where specified, supply and
install valves in water piping
upstream and downstream of
evaporator and condenser water
boxes to isolate shells for
maintenance and to balance and
trim system.

7. Supply and install flow switches
(or equivalent devices) in both
chilled water and condenser
water piping. Interlock each
switch with proper pump starter
to ensure that unit can operate
only when water flow is
established.

8. Supply and install taps for
thermometer and pressure
gauges in water piping adjacent
to inlet and outlet connections of
both evaporator and condenser.

9. Supply and install drain valves to
each water box.

10. Supply and install vent cocks on
each water box.

11. Where specified, supply and
install strainers ahead of all
pumps and automatic
modulating valves.

12. Supply and install pressure-relief
piping from pressure-relief
rupture disc to atmosphere.

13. If necessary, supply sufficient
HCFC-22 refrigerant (maximum
of 1 Lb. Per machine) for leak
testing and dry nitrogen (8 psig
[55 kPa] per machine) for
pressure testing under
manufacturer’s supervision.

14. Start unit under supervision of a
qualified service technician.

15. Where specified, supply and
insulate evaporator and any
other portions of machine as
required to prevent sweating
under normal operating
conditions.

16. Unit-Mounted Starters Only
Remove top of starter panel and
cut access area for line-side
wiring; front left quadrant of top
provides recommended access
to starter lugs.

17. Supply and install wire terminal
lugs to starter.

18. Unit-Mounted Starters Only

Supply and install field wiring to
line-side lugs of starter.

ASHRAE Standard 15
Compliance

Trane recommends that indoor
CenTraVac
made in equipment or plant rooms
that fully meet or exceed the
guidelines of ASHRAE Standard 15,
in addition to any applicable local,
state, or national requirements. At a
minimum this would typically
include:

• The equipment room should have
a refrigerant monitor or detector
that is capable of monitoring and
alarming within the acceptable
exposure level of the refrigerant,
and that can actuate mechanical
ventilation.

• The equipment room should have
an audible or visual alarm (other
than the light on the monitor) that
is controlled by the monitor. The
alarm should annunciate inside of
the equipment room and outside
of each entrance to the equipment
room.

• The equipment room should be
properly vented to the outdoors,
using mechanical ventilation that
can be activated by the refrigerant
monitor.

• The purge discharge and the
rupture disk must be properly
piped to the outdoors.

• If required by local or other codes,
a self-contained breathing
apparatus should be available in
close proximity to the equipment
room.

Refer to the latest copy of ASHRAE
Standard 15 for specific guidelines.
Trane assumes no responsibility for
any economic, health, or
environmental issues that may result
from an equipment room’s design or
function.

General Information

Unit Shipment

Each chiller ships from the factory as
a hermetically-assembled package; it
is factory-piped, wired and tested. All
openings are covered or plugged to
prevent contamination during
shipment and handling.

See Figure 1 for an illustration of a
typical chiller and its components.
When the unit arrives at the job site,
inspect it thoroughly for damage and
material shortages. Suggested
inspection steps below:

1. To prevent damaging moisture
from entering the unit and causing
corrosion, each chiller is
pressurized with dry nitrogen
before shipment.

2. Verify that the chiller is dehydrated
by checking the evaporator press
for an indication of holding charge
pressure. Temporarily attach
service gauge to refrigerant
charging valves.

Note: The holding charge should

register approximately 5 psig
[34.5 kPa) on the gauge at 72°F
[22.2°C]. If the charge has escaped,
contact your local Trane sales
office for instructions.

3. The loose parts box and isolator
pads ship in the motor terminal
box or unit mounted starter
enclosure if so equipped. Remove
the sheet metal shipping bracket
from the motor terminal box and
discard.

4. Check the oil sump sight glasses
to verify that the sump was
factory-charged with 9 gallons
[34 l] of oil on units with a
Refrigerant Pump.

Beginning with design sequence

2K for the CVHE, L0 for the CVHG
and U0 for the CVHF a new
redesigned lubrication system has
been incorporated. Aluminum
balls, which are incorporated into
the sight glass, float when oil is
present, showing a better visible
display of the oil level indication.

5. If no oil level indication is visible,
contact your local Trane sales
office.

6. Compare the unit nameplate data
(including electrical characteristics)
with the corresponding ordering
and shipping information to verify
that the correct unit was shipped
to the job site.

7. If a thorough inspection of the
chiller reveals damage or material
shortages, be sure to file these
claims with the carrier
immediately. Specify the extent
and type of damage found, and
notify the appropriate Trane sales
representative. Do not install a
damaged unit without the sales
representative’s approval.

Storage

If the chiller will be stored at the job
site for an extended period of time
before it is installed, exercise these
precautionary measures to protect
the unit from damage.

1. Do not remove the protective
coverings factory-installed on the
control panel and compressor
inlet vane actuator for shipment.

2. Store the chiller in a dry, vibration
free and secure area. If factory
insulated, protect chiller from
prolonged exposure to sunlight.

CAUTION

Insulation Damage!

TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
FACTORY-INSTALLED INSULATION,
do not allow excessive exposure to
sunlight.

3. Periodically check evaporator
pressure to verify that 3 to 5 psig
[21 to 34.5kPa] dry nitrogen @
72°F [22.2°C] ambient holding
charge is still in the chiller. If this
charge escapes, contact a qualified
service organization and the Trane
sales engineer that handled the
order.

Note: The storage for the
microcomputer-based devices in the
unit control panel is -40°F [-40°C] to
158°F [70°C].

Recommended Unit
Clearances

Adequate clearances around and
above the chiller is required to allow
sufficient access for service and
maintenance operations.

Figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 illustrate the
recommended clearances for units
with and without options.

Note: In each instance, the minimum
vertical clearance above the chiller is
3 feet.

In addition, be sure to provide
working space clearance in front of
the unit control panel to satisfy
national and local electric codes.

Important: Do NOT install piping or
conduit above the compressor
motor assembly or behind the
suction elbow.

(Specific unit clearance requirements
are also indicated in the submittal
package provided for your unit.)

CVHE-SVN01C-EN

General Information

Operating Environment

Besides assuring that the site
selected for chiller installation
provides the necessary clearances,
consider the equipment’s operating
environment.

To assure that electrical components
operate properly, do not locate the
chiller in an area exposed to dust,
dirt, corrosive fumes, or excessive
hear and humidity. Note that the
maximum ambient temperature
range for chiller operation to 100°F
[38°C].

CAUTION

Electrical Component
Damage!

Chiller operation at ambient
temperatures exceeding 100°F
(38°C) may result in starter or
electrical component damage. The
higher ambient temperatures may
affect the ability of panels to
dissipate heat.

Take whatever action is necessary to
improve the equipment room
environment if any of these adverse
operating condition are present.

Storage Requirements if
Chiller is not installed

1. Store the chiller in a dry, vibration
free and secure area on a solid
foundation. If the chiller has
factory installed insulation, protect
the chiller from direct sunlight. Do
not remove any of the factory
installed protective coverings.

2. Do not charge the chiller with
refrigerant. If the refrigerant is at
the site, follow the refrigerant
manufacture’s instructions for
refrigerant charge.

3. A dry nitrogen holding charge of 3
to 5 psig [21 to 34.5kPa] was
installed at the factory. This
positive pressure must be checked
monthly to insure that moisture
and non- condensibles do not get
into the chiller. Check the pressure
gauge on the evaporator shell to
verify that the dry nitrogen holding
charge is still in the chiller. If this
charge had escaped, contact a
qualified service organization to
leak test and repair as necessary
and also notify the Trane sales
engineer that handled the order.

4. Do not operate the purge unit on
the chiller.

5. The oil can be left in the chiller if
an oil analysis is initially obtained
after six months, and once each
succeeding year. If no oil
breakdown is evident you do not
have to change oil. If breakdown is
evident, the oil will need to be
replaced. If an oil analysis
program is not followed,
discarded, and new oil installed
just prior to start-up by a qualified
service organization.

6. The water side of the chiller
requires no special attention but
there may be slight scale build-up
inside the tubes. Tubes should be
inspected and cleaned before the
unit is placed into service.

7. If the motor sits for a long time,
the bearings could take a set and
cause bearing problems/
replacement later. Once every six
months the chiller oil pump must
be started and the compressor
shaft rotated 450 degrees. Contact
a qualified service organization to
perform this task.

8. If the chiller is stored for more
than five years, and the storage is
expected to be indefinite, the
chiller should be examined for
leaks every five years from the
initial storage date. Contact a
qualified service organization to
perform this task.

9. When the unit is to be installed,
follow instruction manuals that
were shipped with the chiller. The
services of a qualified service
organization should be obtained to
conduct all activities associated
with the start-up of a new chiller.

CVHF Shown from Right Front Angle View

Foundation Requirements

Provide rigid, non-warping
mounting pads or a concrete
foundation as a mounting surface for
the chiller. Ensure that the bade is of
sufficient strength and mass to
properly support the chiller at its full
operating weight (i.e., including
completed piping, and full operating
charges of refrigerant, oil and water.)

Table 2 and Table 3 give a summary
of standard tube bundle locations.
Table 4 indicates the weights of
various chiller options. Table 5
shows typical weights for Cooling
Only units.

Notice that the floor loading for all
sizes of CVHE, CVHF and CVHG
chillers is 50 pounds per square inch
[344 kPa].

To assure proper unit operation, the
chiller must be level within 1/16"
[1.6 mm] over its length and width
when set into place on the mounting
surface.

The Trane Company will not assume
responsibility for equipment
problems resulting from an
improperly designed or constructed
foundation.

General Information

Note: Immediately report any unit
damage incurred during handling or
installation at the job site to Trane
sales office.

Rigging

Lifting is the recommended method
for moving chillers. Suggested lifting
arrangements for standard and heat­recovery units are illustrated in
Figure 5.

Note that each of the cables used to
lift the unit must be capable of
supporting the entire weight of the
chiller.





WARNING



Improper Unit Lift!

LIFT THE CHILLER HORIZONTALLY.
Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury and equipment
damage.

See Tables 2, 3 and 5 for shipping
weights.

Refer to lifting arrangement and
rigging in Figure 5. Notice that the
lifting beam used to lift the unit must
be at least 16 feet minimum effective
length.

To lift the chiller properly, insert
clevis connections at the points
indicated in Figure 5, a 2” [51 mm]
diameter lifting hole is provided at
each of these points. Next attach the
lifting chains or cables.

Once the lifting cables are in place,
attach a safety chain or cable
between the first-stage casting of the
compressor and the lifting beam. To
do this, remove a restraining bolt
from the compressor first-stage
casting and replace it with an
eyebolt.

Note: There should not be tension
on this safety cable; it is used only to
prevent the unit from rolling during
the lift.

If installing chiller onto spring
isolators, follow instructions given
on page 22 and Figures 8 and 9.
Follow instructions provided by
spring isolator manufacturer, being
careful to not damage isolator
adjustment bolt.

When the lift is complete, detach the
clevis connections and safety chain.
Then, remove the eyebolt that was
used to secure the safety chain to the
compressor, and reinstall the
retaining colt in its place.

If the chiller cannot be moved using
the conventional rigging method just
described, consider these points.

1. If job site conditions require
rigging of the chiller at an angle
greater than 45° from horizontal
(end-to-end) dowel-pin the
compressor and remove it from
the unit. Be sure to contact a
qualified service organization for
specific rigging instructions. Do
not attempt to rotate chiller on to
side.

CAUTION

Loss of Oil!

IF THE UNIT WILL BE LIFTED AT AN
ANGLE GREATER THAN 15° FROM
END-TO-END, REMOVE THE OIL
FROM THE OIL TANK. Failure to do
so, will cause oil to drain out of oil
tank into other areas of chiller. It will
be extremely difficult to return the
oil to the oil tank even during
operation.

2. When lifting the chiller is either
impractical or undesirable, attach
cables or chains to the jacking
slots shown in Figure 5; then push
or pull the unit across a smooth
surface.

Note: The oil tank with the
refrigerant pump is mounted under
the condenser and may be damaged
by a fork truck.

CAUTION

Improper Unit Lift!

DO NOT USE A FORKLIFT TO
REMOVE THE CHILLER. Using a
forklift can result in damaged
equipment.

CAUTION

Compressor
Misalignment!

CONSULT THE TRANE COMPANY
BEFORE LIFTING THE
COMPRESSOR/MOTOR ASSEMBLY
FROM THE SHELLS WITHOUT
FACTORY-INSTALLED DOWELING
IN THE COMPRESSOR CASTING
FLANGES. Failure to do so can result
in misalignment of the compressor
castings.

3. If removal of the compressor or
economizer assembly is necessary
to move the chiller into its
operating location, contact The
Trane Company for special
instructions concerning chiller
disassembly and reassembly
procedures.

CAUTION

Wiring Damage!

BE CAREFUL TO AVOID DAMAGING
UNIT WIRING DURING RIGGING,
ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY.

Heavy Objects!

Do not use cables (chains or slings)
except as shown. Each of the cables
(chains or slings) 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. Other
lifting arrangements may cause
equipment or property-only
damage. Failure to properly lift unit
may result in death or serious injury.
See details below.

Improper Unit Lift!

Test lift unit approximately 24 inches
to verify proper center of gravity lift
point. To avoid dropping of unit,
reposition lifting point if unit is not
level. Failure to properly lift unit
could result in death or serious
injury or possible equipment or
property-only damage.

Attach safety chain or cable as
shown without tension, not as a
lifting chain or cable, but to prevent
the unit from rolling.

Do not forklift the unit to move or
lift.

Lifting holes provided on chiller to
attach cables (chains or slings).

General Information

Chiller Isolation

To minimize sound and vibration
transmission through the building
structure and to assure proper
weight distribution over the
mounting surface, install isolation
pads or spring isolators under the
chiller feet.

Note: Isolation pads are provided
with each chiller unless spring
isolators are specified on the sales
order.

Specific isolator loading data is
provided in the unit submittal
package. Also refer to Table 6. If
necessary, contact your local Trane
sales office for further information.

Figure 6. Isolation pad

18”

[457 mm

Isolation Pads

When the unit is ready for final
placement, position isolation pads
end for end under the full length of
the chiller leg. The pads measure
6”×18” [152.4x457 mm] and on
some units there may be small gaps
between pads. Pads are provided to
cover entire foot. Place 6" sides end
to end under entire length of foot.

Remember that the chiller must be
level within 1/16” [1.6 mm] over its
length and width after it is lowered
onto the isolation pads. In addition,
all piping connected to the chiller
must be properly isolated and
supported so that it does not place
any stress on the unit.

Overhead lift is recommended, if not
possible, then use rectangular
jacking holes in legs. See figure 5.

Spring Isolators

Spring isolators should be
considered whenever chiller
installation is planned for an upper
story location. Base isolator selection
and placement on the information
presented in Figures 8 and 9. (Notice
that three types of spring isolators,
each with their own maximum
loading characteristics, are used with
the CVHE/F/G chillers.)

Spring isolators typically ship
assembled and ready for installation.
To install and adjust the isolators
properly, follow the instructions
given.

Note: Do not adjust the isolators
until the chiller is piped and charged
with refrigerant and water.

1. Position the spring isolators under
the chiller as shown in Figures 7
and 8. Make sure that each isolator
is centered in relation to the tube
sheet.

2. Set the isolators on the sub-base;
shim or grout as necessary to
provide a flat, level surface at the
same elevation for all mountings.
Be sure to support the full
underside of the isolator base
plate; do not straddle gaps or
small shim.

3. If required, bolt the isolators to the
floor through the slots provided or
cement the pads.

Note: Fastening the isolators to the

floor is not necessary unless
specified.

4. If the chiller must be fastened to
the isolators, insert cap screws
through the chiller base and into
the holes tapped in the upper
housing of each isolator. However,
do not allow the screws to
protrude below the underside of
the isolator upper housing. An
alternative method of fastening
the chiller to the isolators is to
cement the neoprene pads.

5. Set the chiller on the isolators;
refer to “Rigging” for listing
instructions.

The weight of the chiller will force

the upper housing of each isolator
down, perhaps causing it to rest
on the isolator’s lower housing.
Figure 9 illustrates spring isolator
construction.

6. Check the clearance on each
isolator. If this dimension is less
than ¼ inch on any isolator, use a
wrench to turn the adjusting bolt
one complete revolution upward.

Repeat this operation until a ¼

inch clearance is obtained at one
or more isolators.

Note: When the load is applied to

the isolators (Step 5), the top plate
of each isolator moves down to
compress the springs until either:

(1) The springs support the load, or

(2) The top plate rests on the

bottom housing of the isolator.

a. If the springs are supporting

the load, screwing down on
the adjusting bolt (Step 7)
will immediately begin to
raise the chiller.

7. Turn the adjusting bolt on each of
the remaining isolators to obtain
the required minimum clearance
of ¼" [6.9 mm].

8. Once the minimum required
clearance is obtained on each of
the isolators, level the chiller by
turning the adjusting bolt on each
of the isolators on the low side of
the unit. Be sure to work from one
isolator to the next. Remember
that the chiller must be level to
within 1/16" [1.6 mm] over its
length and width, and that
clearance of each isolator must be
¼" [6.9 mm].

Unit Leveling

Follow the instructions outlined
below and illustrated in Figure 10 to
determined whether or not the
chiller is set level.

1. Measure an equal distance up
from each foot of the chiller and
make a punch mark at each
measured distance.

2. Suspend a clear plastic tube along
the length of the chiller as shown
in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Checking unit levelness

Raise chiller at
one end to
align match
marks with
water level.

3. Fill the tube with water until the
level aligns with the punch mark at
one end of the chiller; then check
the water level at the opposite
mark.

If the water level does not align

with the punch mark, use full­length shims to raise one end of
the chiller until the water level at
each end of the tube aligns with
the punch marks at both ends of
the chiller

4. Once the unit is level across its
length, repeat Steps 1 through 3 to
see if unit is level across the width.

Measure and mark
an equal distance
up from each
chiller foot.
