avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION: Indicates a situation that may result in equipment or property­damage only accidents.
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 such as and HCFCs and HFCs.
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. 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 Contains Refrigerant!
System contains oil and refrigerant under high pressure. Recover refrigerant to relieve pressure before opening the system. See unit nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not use non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives.
Failure to follow proper procedures or the use of non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives could result in death or serious injury or equipment damage.

General Information
.

Figure 2 Typical RTAC Unit

Chilled water inlet and outlet openings are covered for shipment. Each compressor has a separate compressor motor starter. The RTAC series features Trane’s exclusive Adaptive Control ™ logic, which monitors the control variables that govern the opera tion of the chiller unit. Adaptive Control logic can adjust capacity variables to avoid chiller shutdown when necessary, and keep producing chilled water. The units feature two independent refrigerant circuits. Compressor unloaders are solenoid actuated and oil pressure operated. Each refrigerant circuit is provided with filter, sight glass, electronic expansion valve, and charging valves. The shell-and-tube type evaporator is manufactured in accordance with ASME standards or other international codes. Each evaporator is fully insulated and is equipped with water drain and vent connections. Packaged units have heat tape protection to - 20°F (-28.9°C) as standard. As an option, a convenience outlet can be supplied.

Isolation and Sound Emission

The most effective form of isolation is to locate the unit away from any sound sensi­tive area. Structurally transmitted sound can be reduced by elastomeric vibration elim­inators. Spring isolators are not recommended. Consult an acoustical engineer in critical sound applications.
For maximum isolation effect, isolate water lines and electrical conduit. Wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers can be used to reduce the sound transmitted through water piping. To reduce the sound transmitted through electrical conduit, use flexible electrical conduit.
State and local codes on sound emissions should always be considered. Since the environment in which a sound source is located affects sound pressure, unit place ment must be carefully evaluated. Sound power levels for Trane air-cooled Series R® chillers are available on request.

Noise Considerations

Locate the outdoor unit away from sound sensitive areas. If required, install rubber vibration isolators in all water piping and use flexible electrical conduit. Consult an acoustical engineer for critical applications. Also refer to Trane Engineering Bulletins for application information on RTAC chillers.
RTAC-SVX01F-EN 37
Installation - Mechanical

Foundation

Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete foundation of sufficient strength and mass to support the outdoor unit operating weight (i.e., including com pleted piping, and full operating charges of refrigerant, oil and water). Refer to Tabl e 1 though Tabl e 5 in the General Information section for unit operating weights. Once in place, the outdoor unit must be level within 1/ 4" (6 mm) over its length and width.
The Trane Company is not responsible for equipment problems resulting from an improperly designed or constructed foundation.
NOTE: To allow for cleaning under the condensing coil, it is recommended that an opening be left between the unit base and the concrete pad.

Provide enough space around the outdoor unit to allow the installation and mainte­nance personnel unrestricted access to all service points. Refer to submittal drawings for the unit dimensions. A minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) is recommended for compressor service. Provide sufficient clearance for the opening of control panel doors. Refer to
Figure 18 through Figure 19 for minimum clearances. In all cases, local codes which
require additional clearances will take precedence over these recommendations.

Unobstructed flow of condenser air is essential to maintain chiller capacity and oper­ating efficiency. When determining unit placement, give careful consideration to assuring a sufficient flow of air across the condenser heat transfer surface. Two detri mental conditions are possible and must be avoided if optimum performance is to be achieved: warm air recirculation and coil starvation.
Warm air recirculation occurs when discharge air from the condenser fans is recycled back to the condenser coil inlet. Coil starvation occurs when free airflow to (or from) the condenser is restricted.
Both warm air recirculation and coil starvation cause reduction in unit efficiency and capacity due to the increased head pressures.

40 RTAC-SVX01F-EN
Installation - Mechanical
Debris, trash, supplies etc. should not be allowed to accumulate in the vicinity of the unit. Supply air movement may draw debris into the condenser coil, blocking spaces between coil fins and causing coil starvation. Special consideration should be given to low ambient units. Condenser coils and fan discharge must be kept free of snow or other obstructions to permit adequate airflow for satisfactory unit operation.
In situations where equipment must be installed with less clearance than recom­mended, such as frequently occurs in retrofit and rooftop applications, restricted air­flow is common. The Main Processor will direct the unit to make as much chilled water as possible given the actual installed conditions. Consult your Trane sales engi neer for more details.
NOTE: If the outdoor unit configuration requires a variance to the clearance dimen­sions, contact your Trane Sales Office Representative. Also refer to Trane Engineering Bulletins for application information on RTAC chillers.

Unit Isolation and Leveling

For additional reduction of sound and vibration, install the optional neoprene isolators. Construct an isolated concrete pad for the unit or provide concrete footings at the unit
mounting points. Mount the unit directly to the concrete pads or footings. Level the unit using the base rail as a reference. The unit must be level within 1/4-in (6
mm) over the entire length and width. Use shims as necessary to level the unit.

Neoprene Isolator Installation

1. 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.
2. Align the mounting holes in the base of the unit with the threaded positioning pins on the top of the isolators.
3. Lower the unit onto the isolators and secure the isolator to the unit with a nut. Maximum isolator deflection should be 1/4 inch (6 mm).
4. Level the unit carefully. Fully tighten the isolator mounting bolts.
-

Drainage

Provide a large capacity drain for water vessel drain-down during shutdown or repair. The evaporator is provided with a drain connection. All local and national codes apply. The vent on the top of the evaporator waterbox is provided to prevent a vacuum by allowing air into the evaporator for complete drainage.

Evaporator Water Piping

Thoroughly flush all water piping to the unit before making the final piping connec­tions to the unit.

Evaporator Piping

Components and layout will vary slightly, depending on the location of connections and the water source.
CAUTION Evaporator Damage!
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 microscopic and macroscopic fractures on the cast iron waterboxes that can lead to premature failure of the waterbox. To prevent damage to chilled water components, do not allow evaporator pressure (maximum working pressure) to exceed 150 psig (10.5 bar).
RTAC-SVX01F-EN 41
Installation - Mechanical
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 enter ing 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.
CAUTION Use Piping Strainers!
To prevent evaporator damage, pipe strainers must be installed in the water supplies to protect components from water born debris. Trane is not responsible for equipment-only-damage caused by water born debris.
“Piping components” include all devices and controls used to provide proper water system operation and unit operating safety. These components and their general loca tions are given below.

Flow Switch

Evaporator Drain

A1/2 inch drain connection is located under the outlet end of the evaporator waterbox. 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.

Evaporator Flow Switch

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 manufacturer’s 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.
NOTE: The arrow on the switch must point in the direction of flow.
42 RTAC-SVX01F-EN

Installation - Mechanical
2. To prevent switch fluttering, remove all air from the water system.
NOTE: The CH530 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 the minimum flow rate.
Evaporator data is given in the General Information section. Flow switch contacts are closed on proof of water flow.
4. Install a pipe strainer in the entering evaporator water line to protect components from waterborne debris.

CAUTION Proper Water Treatment!
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in a unit may 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.

If using an acidic commercial flushing solution, construct a temporary bypass around the unit to prevent damage to internal components of the evaporator.
Dirt, scale, products of corrosion and other foreign material will adversely affect heat transfer between the water and system components. Foreign matter in the chilled water system can also increase pressure drop and, consequently, reduce water flow. Proper water treatment must be determined locally, depending on the type of system and local water characteristics.
44 RTAC-SVX01F-EN
Installation - Mechanical
Neither salt nor brackish water is recommended for use in Trane air-cooled Series R® chillers. Use of either will lead to a shortened life to an indeterminable degree. The Trane Company encourages the employment of a reputable water treatment special ist, familiar with local water conditions, to assist in this determination and in the establishment of a proper water treatment program.
Using untreated or improperly treated water in these units may result in inefficient operation and possible tube damage. Consult a qualified water treatment specialist to determine whether treatment is needed. The following disclamatory label is provided on each RTAC unit:
NOTE: The use of improperly treated or untreated water in this equipment may result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or slime. The services of a qualified water treatment specialist should be engaged to determine what treatment, if any, is advisable. The Trane Company warranty specifically excludes liability for corrosion, erosion or deterioration of Trane equipment.

Water Pressure Gauges

Install field-supplied pressure components as shown in Figure 25. 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 on each shell if the shells have opposite-end water connections.
-

Figure 25 Suggested Piping for Typical RTAC Evaporator

NOTE: Once the unit is installed at a site, one vertical or one diagonal unit support can be permanently removed if it creates an obstruction for water piping.
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.
RTAC-SVX01F-EN 45
Installation - Mechanical

Water Pressure Relief Valves

CAUTION Shell Damage!
To prevent shell damage, install pressure relief valves in the evaporator water system.
Install a water pressure relief valve in the evaporator inlet piping between the evapo­rator and the inlet shutoff valve, as shown in Figure 25. Water vessels with close-cou­pled shutoff valves have a high potential for hydrostatic pressure buildup on a water temperature increase. Refer to applicable codes for relief valve installation guidelines.

Freeze Protection

If the unit will remain operational at subfreezing ambient temperatures, the chilled water system must be protected from freezing. Heaters are factory-installed on the packaged unit evaporator and will help protect it from freezing in ambient tempera tures down to -20°F (-29°C).
Install heat tape on all water piping, pumps, water box nozzles 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.
Add a non-freezing, low temperature, corrosion inhibiting, heat transfer fluid may also be added 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
Tabl e 1 through Ta bl e 5 in the General Information section for evaporator water
storage capacities.
-
NOTE: Use of glycol type antifreeze reduces the cooling capacity of the unit and must be considered in the design of the system specifications.
CAUTION Evaporator Damage!
ALL unit chilled water pumps must be controlled by the Trane CH530 to avoid catastrophic damage to the evaporator due to freezing. Refer to RLC-PRB012-EN.

Low Evaporator Refrigerant Cutout and % Glycol Recommendations

1. Solution freeze point is 4 deg F below operating point saturation temperature.
2. LRTC is 4 deg F below freeze point.

Procedure

1. Is operating condition contained within Tab l e 9 ? If no see “Special” below.
2. For leaving fluid temperatures greater than 40 deg F, use settings for 40 deg F.
3. Select operating conditions from Ta b le 9.
4. Read off recommended % glycol.
5. Go to Ta b le 10. From the % glycol.
46 RTAC-SVX01F-EN
Installation - Mechanical

Important

1. Additional glycol beyond the recommendations will adversely effect unit perfor­mance. The unit efficiency will be reduced and the saturated evaporator tempera­ture will be reduced. For some operating conditions this effect can be significant.
2. If additional glycol is used, then use the actual % glycol to establish the low refrigerant cutout setpoint.
3. The minimum low refrigerant cutout setpoint allowed is -5 deg F. The minimum is established by the solubility limits of the oil in the refrigerant.

Specials

The following constitute a special that must be calculated by engineering:
1. Freeze inhibitor other than Ethylene Glycol or Propylene Glycol.
2. Fluid delta T outside the range 4 to 16 deg F.
3. Unit configuration other than Standard, Standard with extra pass, and Premium.
4. % Glycol greater than maximum in column in Ta bl e 10 .
Special should all be calculated by engineering. The purpose of calculating is to make sure that design saturation temperature is greater than 3 deg F. Additionally, the calcu lation must verify that the fluid freeze point is a minimum of 4 deg. F lower that the design saturation temperature. The low evaporator temperature cutout will be 4 deg F
below the freeze point or -5 deg F, whichever is greater.

Installation - Mechanical Remote Evaporator Option
The RTAC 140-250 ton outdoor unit with the Remote Evaporator option is shipped as two pieces: the outdoor unit (condensing) and the evaporator. Short suction line connections are provided with the outdoor condensing unit. The remote evaporator is shipped com plete, with factory-mounted electronic expansion valves, water temperature sensors, suc­tion pressure transducers, liquid level control sensors, all factory wired to a ribbon cable. Solenoid valves and drain valves are wired to a relay board in the terminal box. The install ing contractor is required to provide and install the following:
2-wire, twisted shielded communication line between the remote evaporator terminal box and the Condensing Unit’s control panel
115 VAC single phase power supply to the remote evaporator terminal box
2 liquid lines
2 suction lines
Suction accumulator as specified
NOTE: A unit ordered as a remote evaporator must also be ordered with either the wide
or low ambient option. The fan inverters are necessary for proper control.
System Configuration and Interconnecting Refrigerant Piping
The system may be configured in any of the four arrangements shown in Figure 26. The configurations and their associated elevations, along with the total distance between the remote evaporator and the compressor/condenser section, play a critical role in determin­ing suction and liquid line sizes. This will also affect field refrigerant and oil charges. Conse­quently, there are physical limits which must not be violated if the system is to operate as designed. Please note the following requirements for field installation:
1. The remote evaporator MUST be matched with its respective outdoor condensing unit.
2. The circuit number on the outdoor condensing unit must match the circuit number on the evaporator, i.e. circuit #1 on the outdoor condensing unit must be connected with circuit # 1 on the remote evaporator and likewise for circuit #2. RTAC Circuit Capacities are shown in General Data Tables.
-
-
CAUTION Equipment Damage!
If the circuits are crossed, serious equipment damage may occur.
3. Piping between the evaporator and outdoor unit can not exceed 200 actual feet and/or an equivalent length of 300 feet.
NOTE: The latter includes the equivalent length of all associated field installed fittings,
4. Horizontal portions of suction lines must be downward sloping toward the compressor
5. Suction lines must be insulated.
6. The line sizes defined are to be used only for 40-60 F leaving water temperature and/or

Installation - Mechanical Remote Evaporator Option
7. Figure 26, drawing 1 depicts an installation where the remote evaporator eleva­tion is the same as that of the outdoor condensing unit. The suction and liquid lines are horizontal or down flowing only.
The suction and liquid lines can be put under ground or in a trench. The temperature of the suction lines must never exceed the temperature of the compressor. The line can be below the compressors a maximum of 15 ft.
8. Figure 26, drawing 2 shows a variation to drawing 1. The remote evaporator and outdoor condensing unit are at the same elevation but interconnecting piping may be installed up to 15 feet above the base elevation. Refer to the required length of the suction accumulator line. A full size suction accumula­tor is required at the evaporator and 50% of the value is required at the condens­ing unit.
9. A refrigerant drain valve is installed at the bottom of the evaporator for freeze pro­tection. This drain valve is a normally open, pilot operated valve which remains closed unless there is a potential freezing situation detected via low evap temper atures or low water temperatures or a power failure. If the drain valve is opened the installed suction accumulator must be capable of holding the entire evapora tor charge. Refer to Tab l e 13 for sizing.
10. For installations where the remote evaporator is at a lower elevation than the out­door condensing unit as shown in Figure 26, drawing 3, the elevation difference is not to exceed 100 feet. An inverted liquid line trap at the condensing unit is required to prevent unwanted free cooling. The apex of the liquid line trap should be at a height above the condenser coils. A suction accumulator must be installed at the evaporator. Refer to
11. When the elevation of the remote evaporator exceeds that of the outdoor con­densing unit as shown in Figure 26, drawing 4, the elevation difference is deter­mined by Tabl e 11. The suction accumulator line must be installed according to
Table 13. It is very important, for proper control and operation of the chiller, that
the elevation requirements given in Table 11 are not exceeded. It should also be noted that in this configuration the suction accumulator is installed at the con­densing section.
Note: The height is limited by the available subcooling.
12. Compressor & oil separator heaters must be on at least 24 hours prior to com­pressor start.

Table 11 Liquid Line Sizes for Remote Evaporators (typical type L copper O.D.)

Line Sizing

To determine the appropriate outside diameter for field installed liquid and suction lines, it is first necessary to establish the equivalent length of pipe for each line. It is also necessary to know the capacity (tons) of each circuit. Circuit capacities for each RTAC unit are listed in the General Data Tables in Section1.

Liquid Line Sizing Steps

The steps to compute liquid line size are as follows:
1. Compute the actual length of field installed piping.
2. Multiply the length from step # 1 by 1.5 to estimate the equivalent length.
3. Refer to Table 11 to determine the outside diameter that corresponds to the equivalent length computed in step # 2 for the height and leaving water tempera­ture of interest.
Note: If the condenser is at the same elevation or above the evap, use the 0 ft. column.
4. With the outside diameter found in step # 3, use Tab l e 12 to determine the equiv­alent lengths of each fitting in the field installed piping.
5. Sum the equivalent lengths of all the field installed elbows and valves.
6. Add the length found in step # 5 to the actual length from step # 1. This is your new equivalent line length.
7. U s i n g Ta ble 11 again, find the outside diameter that corresponds to the new equivalent line length from step # 6. If it is the same as step #3, this is the final equivalent length. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
8. Using Tab le 12 and the new outside diameter found in step # 7, find the equivalent line length of each valve and fitting, and sum them.
9. Add the length found in step # 8 to the actual length from step # 1. This is the new equivalent line length.
10. With the equivalent line length found in step # 9, use Table 11 to select the proper outside diameter for the liquid lines. If the same as in step #7, this is your final equivalent line length. Otherwise, repeat step #7.

Installation - Mechanical Remote Evaporator Option
For this example, refer to Tab le 11 , Table 12 and Figure 28. Assume a 70 ton circuit and a leaving water temperature of 49 degrees F.
1. F r o m Figure 28, the actual length of field installed piping is:
80 + 8 + 8 + 21 = 117 feet
2. Estimate equivalent line length:
117 feet x 1.5 = 175 feet
3. From Table 11 for a 70 ton circuit, for 175 equivalent feet the OD is 1.375 inches.
Note: use the 0 ft. column since the condenser is above the evap
4. In Figure 28 there are six long-radius elbows. From Tab le 12 , for 1.375 inch elbows, the equivalent feet is:
6 elbows x 2.2 feet = 13.2 feet
5. Adding equivalent feet from step #4 to step #1 gives:
13.2 feet + 117 feet = 130.2 feet
6. From Table 11, for a 70 ton circuit, for 125 equivalent feet (nearest to 130.2), the O.D. is 1- 3/8 inches.
Liquid Line size = 1-3/8 inches

The steps to compute suction line size are as follows:
1. Break the suction line into it's Vertical/Upflow and Horizontal/Downflow compo­nents.
2. From Table 14, select the appropriate Vertical/Upflow suction line outside diame- ter according to the circuit tonnage. This is the diameter of the upflow suction line and any fittings in the upflow line.
3. From Table 14, select the appropriate Horizontal/Downflow suction line outside diameter according to the circuit tonnage. This is the diameter of the upflow suc­tion line and any fittings in the upflow line.
NOTE: The diameters of the upflow, and horizontal or downflow portions of the
suction line may differ depending on the application.

Example Suction Line Sizing

For this example, refer to Tab le 14 and Figure 28 assume a 70 ton circuit and a leaving water temperature of 49 degrees F.
1. F r o m Table 14, the vertical/upflow suction line is: 3 5/8” O.D.
2. From Table 14, the horizontal/downflow line is: 3 5/8” O.D.
NOTE: In this example, the horizontal line is pitched downward in the direction of
flow.

Suction Accumulator Sizing

Use Tab l e 13 to calculate length and size of the required suction accumulator(s).

Example of Suction Accumulator Line Sizing

Use Figure 28 and the same assumptions from the liquid line sizing example to calcu­late the suction accumulator line size and length.
In this case the accumulator is installed at the evaporator.
1. Use the 70 ton circuit column.
2. From the liquid line sizing example, use a field installed liquid line of:
1.375 (1 3/8”) inches
3. The actual feet of liquid line installed is: 117 feet
4. The size of the suction accumulator is: 3 5/8 inches
5. The length of the suction line accumulator is: 59 feet

Piping Installation Procedures

The outdoor unit and the evaporator are shipped with a 25 psig holding pressure of dry nitrogen. Do not relieve this pressure until field installation of the refrigerant pip ing is to be accomplished. This will require the removal of the temporary pipe caps.
NOTE: Use Type L refrigerant-grade copper tubing only.
-
The refrigerant lines must be isolated to prevent line vibration from being transferred to the building. Do not secure the lines rigidly to the building at any point.
All horizontal suction lines should be pitched downward, in the direction of flow, at a slope of 1/2 inch per 10 feet of run.
Do not use a saw to remove end caps, as this may allow copper chips to contaminate the system. Use a tubing cutter or heat to remove the end caps.
When sweating copper joints, flow dry nitrogen through the system. This prevents scale formation and the possible formation of an explosive mixture of R-134a and air. This will also prevent the formation of toxic phosgene gas, which occurs when refrig erant is exposed to open flame.
WARNING Hazardous Gas!
To prevent injury or death, due to explosion and/or inhalation of phosgene gas, purge the system thoroughly with dry nitrogen while sweating connections. Use a pressure regulator in the line between the unit and the high pressure nitrogen cylinder to avoid over-pressurization and possible explosion.Failure to use a nitrogen purge and pressure regulator could result in death or serious injury or equipment damage.

Refrigerant Sensors

All necessary refrigerant devices, transducers and solenoids are factory installed and wired to the evaporator terminal box.

Refrigerant Pressure Relief Valve Venting

WARNING Hazardous Gases!
Consult local regulations for any special relief line requirements. Refrigerant vented into a confined equipment room could displace available oxygen to breathe, causing possible asphyxiation or other serious health risks. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury.
Vent pipe size must conform to the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 for vent pipe sizing. All federal, state, and local codes take precedence over any suggestions stated in this manual.
All relief valve venting is the responsibility of the installing contractor. All RTAC remote evaporator units use evaporator pressure relief valves (Figure 29)
that must be vented to the outside of the building. Relief valve connection sizes and locations are shown in the unit submittals. Refer to
local codes for relief valve vent line sizing information.
Caution Equipment Damage!
Do not exceed vent piping code specifications. Failure to comply with specifications may result in capacity reduction, unit damage and/or relief valve damage.
Relief valve discharge setpoints and capacities rates are given in Table 12. Once the relief valve has opened, it will re-close when pressure is reduced to a safe level.
Once opened, relief valves may have a tendency to leak and must be replaced. Pressure relief valve discharge capacities will vary with shell diameter and length and
also compressor displacement. Discharge venting capacity should be calculated as required by ASHRAE Standard 15-94. Do not adjust relief valve setting in the field.

WARNING Hazard of Explosion!
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not use acetylene, oxygen or compressed air or mixtures containing them for pressure testing. Do not use mixtures of a hydrogen containing refrigerant and air above atmospheric pressure for pressure testing as they may become flammable and could result in an explosion. Refrigerant, when used as a trace gas should only be mixed with dry nitrogen for pressurizing units. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage.
For field evacuation, use a rotary-type vacuum pump capable of pulling a vacuum of 500 microns or less. Follow the pump manufacturer's instructions for proper use of the pump. The line used to connect the pump to the system should be copper and be the largest diameter that can be practically used. A larger line size with minimum flow resistance can significantly reduce evacuation time.
Use the ports on the suction service valves and the liquid line shutoff valves for access to the system for evacuation. Ensure that the suction service valve, the liquid line shutoff valve, the oil line shutoff valve and any field installed valves are open in the proper position before evacuating.
Insulate the entire suction line and the suction accumulator line. Where the line is exposed to the weather, wrap it with weatherproof tape and seal with weatherproof compound.

1. To determine the appropriate charge, first refer to the General Data Tables in Sec­tion 1 to establish the required charge without the field-installed piping.
2. Next, determine the charge required for the field-installed piping by referring to
Tab l e 16.
3. Sum the values of step 1 and step 2 to determine the circuit charge.
NOTE: The amounts of refrigerant listed in Tab le 16 are per 100 feet of pipe.
Requirements will be in direct proportion to the actual length of piping.

Oil Charge Determination

The unit is factory charged with the amount of oil required by the system, without the field-installed piping. The amount of the additional oil required is dependent upon the amount of refrigerant that is added to the system for the field installed piping.
Use the following formula to calculate the amount of oil to be added: Pints of Oil = [lbs of R-134a added for field-installed piping]/100

CAUTION Use Copper Conductors Only!
Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors. Failure to use copper conductors may result in equipment damage.
Important!
Do not allow conduit to interfere with other components, structural members or equipment. Control voltage (115V) wiring in conduit must be separate from conduit carrying low voltage (<30V) wiring.
Caution: To prevent control malfunctions, do not run low voltage wiring (<30V) in conduit with conductors carrying more than 30 volts.

Notes:
1. As standard, 140-250 ton (60 Hz) units and 140-200 ton (50Hz) units have a single point power connection. Optional dual point power connections are available. As standard, 275-500 ton (60Hz) units and 250-400 ton (50Hz) units have dual point power connections. Optional single point power connections are available on 380V, 460V 575V/50 Hz and 400V/50 Hz units.
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. RECOMMENDED TIME 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 VA includes operational controls only. Does not include evaporator heaters.
8. XLRA - Locked Rotor Amps - based on full winding (x-line) start units. YLRA for wye-delta starters is ~1/3 of LRA of x-line units.
9. Voltage Utilization Range: Rated Voltage 200/60/3 230/60/3 380/60/3 460/60/3 575/60/3 400/50/3 Use Range 180-220 208-254 342-418 414-506 516-633 360-440
10. A separate 115/60/1, 20 amp or 220/50/1, 15 amp customer provided power connection is required to power the evaporator heaters (1640 watts).
11. If factory circuit breakers are supplied with the chiller, then these values represent Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP).

Notes:
1. As standard, 140-250 ton (60 Hz) units and 140-200 ton (50Hz) units have a single point power connection. Optional dual point power connections are available. As standard, 275-500 ton (60Hz) units and 250-400 ton (50Hz) units have dual point power connections. Optional single point power connections are available on 380V, 460V 575V/50 Hz and 400V/50 Hz units.
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. RECOMMENDED TIME 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 VA includes operational controls only. Does not include evaporator heaters.
8. XLRA - Locked Rotor Amps - based on full winding (x-line) start units. YLRA for wye-delta starters is ~1/3 of LRA of x-line units.
9. Voltage Utilization Range: Rated Voltage 200/60/3 230/60/3 380/60/3 460/60/3 575/60/3 400/50/3 Use Range 180-220 208-254 342-418 414-506 516-633 360-440
10. A separate 115/60/1, 20 amp or 220/50/1, 15 amp customer provided power connection is required to power the evaporator heaters (1640 watts).
11. If factory circuit breakers are supplied with the chiller, then these values represent Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP).

Installation - Electrical

Installer-Supplied Components

Customer wiring interface connections are shown in the electrical schematics and connection diagrams that are shipped with the unit. The installer must provide the following components if not ordered with the unit:
Power supply wiring (in conduit) for all field-wired connections.
All control (interconnecting) wiring (in conduit) for field supplied devices.
Fused-disconnect switches or circuit breakers.
Power factor correction capacitors. (optional)

Power Supply Wiring

All power supply wiring must be sized and selected accordingly by the project engineer in accordance with NEC Table 310-16.
WARNING Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives or other energy storing components provided by Trane or others, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods for discharge of capacitors. Verify with an appropriate voltmeter that all capacitors have discharged. Failure to disconnect power and discharge capacitors before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Note: For additional information regarding the safe discharge of capacitors, see PROD-SVB06A-EN or PROD-SVB06A-FR
All wiring must comply with local codes and the National Electrical Code. The installing (or electrical) contractor must provide and install the system interconnecting wiring, as well as the power supply wiring. It must be properly sized and equipped with the appropriate fused disconnect switches.
The type and installation location(s) of the fused disconnects must comply with all applicable codes.
CAUTION Use Copper Conductors Only!
Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors. Failure to use copper conductors may result in equipment damage.
Cut holes into the sides of the control panel for the appropriately-sized power wiring conduits. The wiring is passed through these conduits and connected to the terminal blocks, optional unit-mounted disconnects, or HACR type breakers. Refer to
31.
To provide proper phasing of 3-phase input, make connections as shown in field wiring diagrams and as stated on the WARNING label in the starter panel. For additional information on proper phasing, refer to “Unit Voltage Phasing.” Proper equipment ground must be provided to each ground connection in the panel (one for each customer-supplied conductor per phase).

Control Power Supply

The unit is equipped with a control power transformer; it is not necessary to provide additional control power voltage to the unit.
All units are factory-connected for appropriate labeled voltages except for the 400V/ 50Hz units which need the control power transformer (1T1) reconnected as noted below.
NOTE: Important! As shipped, a normal 400 volt unit control power transformer is wired on the 400 volt tap (H3). Reconnect the appropriate transformer wire lead 126A to the tap (H2) for 380V/50Hz power supply or lead 126A to the tap H4 for the 415V/ 50 Hz power supply. It is also necessary to adjust the “unit voltage” setting using TechView (Configuration-Custom Tab).

Heater Power Supply and Convenience Outlet (Packaged Units Only)

The evaporator shell is insulated from ambient air and protected from freezing temperatures by two thermostatically-controlled immersion heaters and two strip heaters. Whenever the water temperature drops to approximately 37°F (2.8°C), the thermostat energizes the heaters. The heaters will provide protection from ambient temperatures down to -20°F (-29°C).
It is required to provide an independent power source (115V 60Hz-20 amp, 220V 50Hz-15 amp), with a fused-disconnect. The heaters are factory-wired back to the unit control panel.
76 RTAC-SVX01F-EN
Installation - Electrical
CAUTION Heat Tape!
Control panel main processor does not check for loss of power to the heat tape nor does it verify thermostat operation. A qualified technician must verify power to the heat tape and confirm operation of the heat tape thermostat to avoid catastrophic damage to the evaporator.
A convenience outlet is also optional, which shares the same power supply as the heaters on 140-250 ton units. Be aware that when the heater is operating, the convenience outlet amperage draw will be reduced accordingly.
NOTE: The convenience outlet is optional. The heaters are required.

Interconnecting Wiring

Chilled Water Flow (Pump) Interlock

The Model RTAC Series R® chiller requires a field-supplied control voltage contact input through a flow proving switch 5S1 and an auxiliary contact 5K1 AUX. Connect the proving switch and auxiliary contact to 1TB5-8 and 1U11 J3-2. Refer to the field wiring for details. The auxiliary contact can be BAS signal, starter contactor auxiliary. or any signal which indicates the pump is running. A flow switch is still required and cannot be omitted.

Chilled Water Pump Control

An evaporator water pump output relay closes when the chiller is given a signal to go
into the Auto mode of operation from any source. The contact is opened to turn off the pump in the event of most machine level diagnostics to prevent the build up of pump heat.
CAUTION Evaporator Damage!
IMPORTANT: ALL unit chilled water pumps must be controlled by the Trane CH530 to avoid catastrophic damage to the evaporator due to freezing. Refer to RLC-PRB012-EN.
The relay output from 1U10 is required to operate the Evaporator Water Pump (EWP) contactor. Contacts should be compatible with 115/240 VAC control circuit. The EWP relay operates in different modes depending on CH530 or Tracer commands, if available, or service pumpdown (See maintenance section). Normally, the EWP relay follows the AUTO mode of the chiller. Whenever the chiller has no diagnostics and is in the AUTO mode, regardless of where the auto command is coming from, the normally open relay is energized. When the chiller exits the AUTO mode, the relay is timed open for an adjustable (using TechView) 0 to 30 minutes. The non-AUTO modes in which the pump is stopped, include Reset (88), Stop (00), External Stop (100), Remote Display Stop (600), Stopped by Tracer (300), Low Ambient Run Inhibit (200), and Ice Building complete (101).
Regardless of whether the chiller is allowed to control the pump on a full-time basis, if the MP calls for a pump to start and water does not flow, the evaporator may be damaged catastrophically. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor and/or the customer to ensure that a pump will start when called upon by the chiller controls.

Table 20 Pump Relay Operation
Chiller Mode Relay Operation
Auto Instant close Ice Building Instant close Tracer Override Close Stop TImed Open Ice Complete Instant Open Diagnostics Instant Open
NOTE: Exceptions are listed below.
When going from Stop to Auto, the EWP relay is energized immediately. If evaporator water flow is not established in 4 minutes and 15 sec., the CH530 de-energizes the EWP relay and generates a non-latching diagnostic. If flow returns (e.g. someone else is controlling the pump), the diagnostic is cleared, the EWP is re-energized, and normal control resumed.
If evaporator water flow is lost once it had been established, the EWP relay remains energized and a non-latching diagnostic is generated. If flow returns, the diagnostic is cleared and the chiller returns to normal operation.
In general, when there is either a non-latching or latching diagnostic, the EWP relay is turned off as though there was a zero time delay. Exceptions (see above table) whereby the relay continues to be energized occur with:
A Low Chilled Water Temp. diagnostic (non-latching) (unless also accompanied by an Evap Leaving Water Temperature Sensor Diagnostic)
or
A starter contactor interrupt failure diagnostic, in which a compressor continues to draw current even after commanded to have shutdown
or
A Loss of Evaporator Water Flow diagnostic (non-latching) and the unit is in the AUTO mode, after initially having proven evaporator water flow.

Alarm and Status Relay Outputs (Programmable Relays)

A programmable relay concept provides for enunciation of certain events or states of the chiller, selected from a list of likely needs, while only using four physical output relays, as shown in the field wiring diagram. The four relays are provided (generally with a Quad Relay Output LLID) as part of the Alarm Relay Output Option. The relay’s contacts are isolated Form C (SPDT), suitable for use with 120 VAC circuits drawing up to 2.8 amps inductive, 7.2 amps resistive, or 1/3 HP and for 240 VAC circuits drawing up to 0.5 amp resistive.
The list of events/states that can be assigned to the programmable relays can be found in

Relay Assignments Using TechView

CH530 Service Tool (TechView) is used to install the Alarm and Status Relay Option package and assign any of the above list of events or status to each of the four relays provided with the option. The relays to be programmed are referred to by the relay’s terminal numbers on the LLID board 1U12.
The default assignments for the four available relays of the RTAC Alarm and Status Package Option are:
Table 22 Default Assignments
Relay
Relay 1 Terminals J2 -12,11,10: Alarm Relay 2 Terminals J2 - 9,8,7: Chiller Running Relay 3 Terminals J2-6,5,4: Maximum Capacity (software 18.0 or later) Relay 4 Terminals J2-3,2,1: Chiller Limit
If any of the Alarm/Status relays are used, provide electrical power, 115 VAC with fused-disconnect to the panel and wire through the appropriate relays (terminals on 1U12 (EUR=A4-5)). Provide wiring (switched hot, neutral, and ground connections) to the remote annunciation devices. Do not use power from the chiller’s control panel transformer to power these remote devices. Refer to the field diagrams which are shipped with the unit.

Low Voltage Wiring

The remote devices described below require low voltage wiring. All wiring to and from these remote input devices to the Control Panel must be made with shielded, twisted pair conductors. Be sure to ground the shielding only at the panel.
To prevent control malfunctions, do not run low voltage wiring (<30 V) in conduit with conductors carrying more than 30 volts.

Emergency Stop

CH530 provides auxiliary control for a customer specified/installed latching trip out. When this customer-furnished remote contact 5K14 is provided, the chiller will run normally when the contact is closed. When the contact opens, the unit will trip on a manually resettable diagnostic. This condition requires manual reset at the chiller switch on the front of the control panel.
Connect low voltage leads to terminal strip locations on 1U4. Refer to the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit.
RTAC-SVX01F-EN 79
Installation - Electrical
Silver or gold-plated contacts are recommended. These customer-furnished contacts must be compatible with 24 VDC, 12 mA resistive load.

External Auto/Stop

If the unit requires the external Auto/Stop function, the installer must provide leads from the remote contacts 5K15 to the proper terminals of the LLID 1U4 on the control panel.
The chiller will run normally when the contacts are closed. When either contact opens, the compressor(s), if operating, will go to the RUN:UNLOAD operating mode and cycle off. Unit operation will be inhibited. Closure of the contacts will permit the unit to return to normal operation.
Field-supplied contacts for all low voltage connections must be compatible with dry circuit 24 VDC for a 12 mA resistive load. Refer to the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit.
External Circuit Lockout – Circuit #1 and Circuit #2
CH530 provides auxiliary control of a customer specified or installed contact closure, for individual operation of either Circuit #1 or #2. If the contact is closed, the refrigerant circuit will not operate 1K15 and 1K16.
Upon contact opening, the refrigerant circuit will run normally. This feature is used to restrict total chiller operation, e.g. during emergency generator operations.
Connections to 1U5 are shown in the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit. These customer-supplied contact closures must be compatible with 24 VDC, 12 mA
resistive load. Silver or gold plated contacts are recommended.

Ice Building Option

CH530 provides auxiliary control for a customer specified/installed contact closure for ice building if so configured and enabled. This output is known as the Ice Building Status Relay. The normally open contact will be closed when ice building is in progress and open when ice building has been normally terminated either through Ice Termination setpoint being reached or removal of the Ice Building command. This output is for use with the ice storage system equipment or controls (provided by others) to signal the system changes required as the chiller mode changes from “ice building” to “ice complete”. When contact 5K18 is provided, the chiller will run normally when the contact is open.
CH530 will accept either an isolated contact closure (External Ice Building command) or a Remote Communicated input (Tracer) to initiate and command the Ice Building mode.
CH530 also provides a “Front Panel Ice Termination Setpoint”, settable through TechView, and adjustable from 20 to 31°F (-6.7 to -0.5°C) in at least 1°F (1°C) increments.
NOTE: When in the Ice Building mode, and the evaporator entering water temper­ature drops below the ice termination setpoint, the chiller terminates the Ice Building mode and changes to the Ice Building Complete Mode.
CAUTION Evaporator Damage!
Freeze inhibitor must be adequate for the leaving water temperature. Failure to do so will result in damage to system components.
Techview must also be used to enable or disable Ice Machine Control. This setting does not prevent the Tracer from commanding Ice Building mode.
Upon contact closure, the CH530 will initiate an ice building mode, in which the unit runs fully loaded at all times. Ice building shall be terminated either by opening the contact or based on the entering evaporator water temperature. CH530 will not
80 RTAC-SVX01F-EN
Installation - Electrical
permit the ice building mode to be reentered until the unit has been switched out of ice building mode (open 5K18 contacts) and then switched back into ice building mode (close 5K18 contacts.)
In ice building, all limits (freeze avoidance, evaporator, condenser, current) will be ignored. All safeties will be enforced.
If, while in ice building mode, the unit gets down to the freeze stat setting (water or refrigerant), the unit will shut down on a manually resettable diagnostic, just as in normal operation.
Connect leads from 5K18 to the proper terminals of 1U7. Refer to the field diagrams which are shipped with the unit.
Silver or gold-plated contacts are recommended. These customer furnished contacts must be compatible with 24 VDC, 12 mA resistive load.

External Chilled Water Setpoint (ECWS) Option

The CH530 provides inputs that accept either 4-20 mA or 2-10 VDC signals to set the external chilled water setpoint (ECWS). This is not a reset function. The input defines the set point. This input is primarily used with generic BAS (building automation systems). The chilled water setpoint set via the DynaView or through digital communication with Tracer (Comm3). The arbitration of the various chilled water setpoint sources is described in the flow charts at the end of the section.
The chilled water setpoint may be changed from a remote location by sending either a 2-10 VDC or 4-20 mA signal to the 1U6, terminals 5 and 6 LLID. 2-10 VDC and 4-20 mA each correspond to a 10 to 65°F (-12 to 18°C) external chilled water setpoint.
The following equations apply:
Voltage Signal Current Signal
As generated from external source
As processed by CH530 ECWS=6.875*(VDC)-3.75 ECWS=3.4375(mA)-3.75
VDC=0.1455*(ECWS)+0.5454 mA=0.2909(ECWS)+1.0909
If the ECWS input develops an open or short, the LLID will report either a very high or very low value back to the main processor. This will generate an informational diagnostic and the unit will default to using the Front Panel (DynaView) Chilled Water Setpoint.
TechView Service Tool is used to set the input signal type from the factory default of 2-10 VDC to that of 4-20 mA. TechView is also used to install or remove the External Chilled Water Setpoint option as well as a means to enable and disable ECWS.

External Current Limit Setpoint (ECLS) Option

Similar to the above, the CH530 also provides for an optional External Current Limit Setpoint that will accept either a 2-10 VDC (default) or a 4-20 mA signal. The Current Limit Setting can also be set via the DynaView or through digital communication with Tracer (Comm 3). The arbitration of the various sources of current limit is described in the flow charts at the end of this section. The External Current Limit Setpoint may be changed from a remote location by hooking up the analog input signal to the 1 U6 LLID terminals 2 and 3. Refer to the following paragraph on Analog Input Signal Wiring Details. The following equations apply for ECLS:
Voltage Signal Current Signal
As generated from external source
As processed by UCM %=7.5*(VDC)+45.0 %=3.75*(mA)+45.0
VDC+0.133*(%)-6.0 mA=0.266*(%)-12.0
RTAC-SVX01F-EN 81
Installation - Electrical
If the ECLS input develops an open or short, the LLID will report either a very high or very low value back to the man processor. This will generate an informational diagnostic and the unit will default to using the Front Panel (DynaView) Current Limit Setpoint.
The TechView Service Tool must be used to set the input signal type from the factory default of 2-10 VDC to that of 4-20 mA current. TechView must be also be used to install or remove the External Current Limit Setpoint Option for field installation, or can be used to enable or disable the feature (if installed).
ECLS and ECWS Analog Input Signal Wiring Details: Both the ECWS and ECLS can be connected and setup as either a 2-10 VDC (factory
default), 4-20 mA, or resistance input (also a form of 4-2OmA) as indicated below. Depending on the type to be used, the TechView Service Tool must be used to configure the LLID and the MP for the proper input type that is being used. This is accomplished by a setting change on the Custom Tab of the Configuration View within TechView.
The J2-3 and J2-6 terminal is chassis grounded and terminal J2- 1 and J2-4 can be used to source 12 VDC. The ECLS uses terminals J2-2 and J2-3. ECWS uses terminals J2-5 and J2-6. Both inputs are only compatible with high-side current sources.

Chilled Water Reset (CWR)

CH530 resets the chilled water temperature set point based on either return water temperature, or outdoor air temperature. Return Reset is standard, Outdoor Reset is optional.

In addition to Return and Outdoor Reset, the MP provides a menu item for the operator to select a Constant Return Reset. Constant Return Reset will reset the leaving water temperature set point so as to provide a constant entering water temperature. The Constant Return Reset equation is the same as the Return Reset equation except on selection of Constant Return Reset, the MP will automatically set Ratio, Start Reset, and Maximum Reset to the following.
RATIO = 100% START RESET = Design Delta Temp. MAXIMUM RESET = Design Delta Temp. The equation for Constant Return is then as follows: CWS' = CWS + 100% (Design Delta Temp. - (TWE - TWL)) and CWS' > or = CWS and CWS' - CWS < or = Maximum Reset
When any type of CWR is enabled, the MP will step the Active CWS toward the desired CWS' (based on the above equations and setup parameters) at a rate of 1 degree F every 5 minutes until the Active CWS equals the desired CWS'. This applies when the chiller is running.
RTAC-SVX01F-EN 83
Installation - Electrical
When the chiller is not running the CWS is reset immediately (within one minute) for Return Reset and at a rate of 1 degree F every 5 minutes for Outdoor Reset. The chiller will start at the Differential to Start value above a fully reset CWS or CWS' for both Return and Outdoor Reset.

Communications Interface options

Optional Tracer Communications Interface

This option allows the Tracer CH530 controller to exchange information (e.g. operating setpoints and Auto/Standby commands) with a higher-level control device, such as a Tracer Summit or a multiple-machine controller. A shielded, twisted pair connection establishes the bi-directional communications link between the Tracer CH530 and the building automation system.
To prevent control malfunctions, do not run low voltage wiring (<30 V) in conduit with conductors carrying more than 30 volts.
Field wiring for the communication link must meet the following requirements:
All wiring must be in accordance with the NEC and local codes.
Communication link wiring must be shielded, twisted pair wiring (Belden 8760 or equivalent). See the table below for wire size selection:
Table 23 Wire Size

The communication link cannot pass between buildings.
All units on the communication link can be connected in a “daisy chain” configuration.

LonTalk Communications Interface for Chillers (LCI-C)

CH530 provides an optional LonTalk Communication Interface (LCI-C) between the chiller and a Building Automation System (BAS). An LCI-C LLID shall be used to provide "gateway" functionality between a LonTalk compatible device and the Chiller. The inputs/outputs include both mandatory and optional network variables as established by the LonMark Functional Chiller Profile 8040.

Operating Principles
This section contains an overview of the operation and maintenance of RTAC units equipped with CH530 control systems. It describes the overall operating principles of the RTAC design.

Refrigeration Cycle

The refrigeration cycle of the RTAC chiller is similar to that of the RTAA air cooled water chiller. The exception is that the evaporating and condensing temperatures have been increased to allow for optimization of the chiller and reduced foot print. The refrigeration cycle is represented in the pressure enthalpy diagram in state points are indicated on the figure. The cycle for the full load ARI design point is represented in the plot.

Figure 33 Pressure Enthalpy (P-h) diagram of RTAC chiller

The RTAC chiller uses a shell and tube evaporator design with refrigerant evaporating on the shell side and water flowing inside tubes having enhanced surfaces (states 4 to 1). The suction lines and bolt pads are designed to minimize pressure drop.(states 1 to 1b). The compressor is a twin-rotor helical rotary compressor designed similarly to the compressors offered in other Trane Screw Compressor Based Chillers (states 1b to 2). The discharge lines include a highly efficient oil separation system that virtually removes all oil from the refrigerant stream going to the heat exchangers (states 2 to 2b). De-superheating, condensing and sub-cooling is accomplished in a fin and tube air cooled heat exchanger where refrigerant is condensed in the tube (states 2b to 3b). Refrigerant flow through the system is balanced by an electronic expansion valve (states 3b to 4).

Operating Principles

Refrigerant R134a

The RTAC chiller uses environmentally friendly R134a. 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. 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.
R134a is a medium pressure refrigerant. It may not be used in any condition that would cause the chiller to operate in a vacuum without a purge system. RTAC is not equipped with a purge system. Therefore, the RTAC chiller may not be operated in a condition that would result in a saturated condition in the chiller of –15°F (-26°C) or lower.
R134a requires the use of specific POE oils as designated on the unit nameplate.
Important! The RTAC units must only operate with R-134a and Trane Oil 00048.

Compressor

The compressor is a semi-hermetic, direct-drive rotary type compressor. Each compressor has only four moving parts: two rotors that provide compression and male and female load-control valves. The male rotor is attached to the motor and the female rotor is driven by the male rotor. The rotors and motor are supported by bearings.
The helical rotary compressor is a positive displacement device. Refrigerant vapor from the evaporator is drawn into the suction opening of the compressor (state 1b), through a suction strainer screen across the motor (which provides motor cooling) and into the intake of the compressor rotors. The gas is then compressed and discharged through a check valve and into the discharge line (state 2).
There is no physical contact between the rotors and the compressor housing. The rotors contact each other at the point where the driving action between the male and female rotors occurs. Oil is injected into the rotors of the compressor, coating the 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 female step load-control valve and a male control valve. The female step valve is the first stage of loading after the compressor starts and the last stage of unloading before the compressor shuts down. The male control valve is positioned by a piston cylinder along the length of the male rotor. Compressor capacity is dictated by the position of the loading valve relative to the rotors. When the valve slides toward the discharge end of the rotors compressor capacity is reduced.

Condenser and Subcooler

The condenser and subcooler are similar to the condenser used in RTAA chillers. The heat exchanger consists of 3/8” tubes that contain the refrigerant, large fins that are in the air flow and fans that draw air through the fins. Heat is transferred from the refrigerant through the tubes and fins to the air.
High pressure gas from the compressor enters the tubes of the condenser through a distribution header (state 2b). As refrigerant flows through the tubes, the heat of compression and cooling load are rejected to the air. In this process the refrigerant is de-superheated, condensed (states 2b to 3) and finally subcooled (states 3 to 3b) to a temperature slightly above the ambient air temperature. The subcooled liquid refrigerant is collected in the leaving header where it is transferred to the liquid line (state 3b).
A controls algorithm always runs as many fans as possible without reducing the differential pressure (discharge minus suction) below the setpoint (60 psid or 4.2 bar). If a warm enough ambient is sensed, all the fans will run. If the ambient is cooler,

some fans are shut off to maintain the pressure differential. Fan staging depends on the chiller load, evaporator pressure, condenser effectiveness, ambient temperature, and numbers and sizes of fans installed on the circuit.
The algorithm pre-starts fans (based on ambient and water temperatures) when a circuit starts the compressor. (For rare conditions such as during some pull-downs, a steady fan state would either violate the 60 psid (4.2 bar) setpoint or cause a high pressure cut-out; in those conditions a fan will cycle on and off.)
For up to two minutes after chiller start-up, the setpoint is 35 psi (2.45 bar) difference, and then before the controls adjust gradually over half a minute up to 60 psi (4.2 bar).

Expansion Valve

Pressure drop occurs in an electronic expansion valve. The unit controller (CH530) uses the valve to regulate the flow through the liquid line to match the flow produced by the compressor. The valve has a variable orifice that is modulated by a stepper motor.
High pressure, subcooled liquid refrigerant enters the expansion valve from the liquid line. As refrigerant passes through the valve the pressure is dropped substantially, which results in vaporization of some of the refrigerant. The heat of vaporization is supplied by the two phase mixture resulting in low temperature low pressure refrigerant which is supplied to the evaporator (state 4) to provide cooling.

Evaporator

The evaporator is composed of a liquid-vapor distributor and falling film evaporator. A liquid-vapor refrigerant mixture enters the distributor (state 4). The mixture is
distributed over the length of the evaporator tubes (state 4b). Liquid is evenly distributed over the length of the evaporator tubes by the two-phase distribution system. A portion of the liquid boils as it falls by gravity from tube to tube, wetting all the tubes of the evaporator. To ensure that the tubes at the bottom of the evaporator do not experience “dry out,” a liquid pool is maintained in the bottom few inches of the bundle. Tubes located in the bottom of the evaporator will evaporate the liquid refrigerant by boiling (pool boiling).
Heat is transferred from the water or glycol inside the tubes to the liquid refrigerant as the film of refrigerant evaporates on the surface of the tube. Thin film heat transfer requires a smaller temperature difference for a given amount of heat transfer than nucleate boiling, which is the heat transfer process used in flooded evaporators. Hence, efficiency is enhanced by the use of falling film evaporation. Additionally, the evaporator requires less refrigerant than a comparable flooded evaporator and the evaporator boils the entire refrigerant supply at constant pressure. Refrigerant vapor exits the evaporator through the suction line (state 1).

Oil System

Screw compressors require large quantities of oil for lubricating and sealing the rotors and lubricating the bearings. This oil is mixed with refrigerant at the discharge of the compressor. To enhance the performance of the heat exchanger surfaces an oil separation system is placed into the discharge line. The oil separator is located between the compressor and the condenser. It separates oil using highly efficient centrifugal force. Approximately 99.5% of the oil is removed from the refrigerant in the separator.
Oil that is removed from the refrigerant falls by gravity into the oil sump. This oil is directed back to the compressor through the oil lines. Internal to the compressor is a high efficiency filter to clean the oil before it is delivered to the rotors and bearings. Once oil is injected into the compressor rotors it mixes with the refrigerant again and is delivered back to the discharge line.
RTAC-SVX01F-EN 89
Operating Principles
Oil that gets past the oil separators flows through the condenser, subcooler and expansion valve into the evaporator. This oil is collected in the pool of refrigerant that is maintained in the bottom of the evaporator. A small amount of oil and refrigerant from this pool (state 4b) is returned through a line that is connected to the compressor down stream of the motor. This oil and refrigerant mixes with the refrigerant vapor that was drawn out of the evaporator, prior to injection into the compressor rotors.

CH530 Communications Overview

The Trane CH530 control system that runs the chiller consists of several elements:
The main processor collects data, status, and diagnostic information and commu­nicates commands to the starter module and the LLID (for Low Level Intelligent Device) bus. The main processor has an integral display (DynaView).
Higher level modules (e.g. starter) exist only as necessary to support system level control and communications. The starter module provides control of the starter when starting, running, and stopping the chiller motor. It also processes its own diagnostics and provides motor and compressor protection.
Low level intelligent device (LLID) bus. The main processor communicates to each input and output device (e.g. temperature and pressure sensors, low voltage binary inputs, analog input/output) all connected to a four-wire bus, rather than the conventional control architecture of signal wires for each device.
The communication interface to a building automation system (BAS).
A service tool to provide all service/maintenance capabilities.
Main processor and service tool (TechView) software is downloadable from www.Trane.com. The process is discussed later in this section under TechView Inter­face.
DynaView provides bus management. It has the task of restarting the link, or filling in for what it sees as “missing” devices when normal communications has been degraded. Use of TechView may be required.
The CH530 uses the IPC3 protocol based on RS485 signal technology and communi­cating at 19.2 Kbaud to allow 3 rounds of data per second on a 64-device network. A typical four-compressor RTAC will have around 50 devices.
Most diagnostics are handled by the DynaView. If a temperature or pressure is reported out of range by a LLID, the DynaView processes this information and calls out the diagnostic. The individual LLIDs are not responsible for any diagnostic func tions. The only exception to this is the Starter module.
-
NOTE: It is imperative that the CH530 Service Tool (TechView) be used to facilitate the replacement of any LLID or reconfigure any chiller component. TechView is discussed later in this section.
Controls Interface
Each chiller is equipped with a DynaView interface. The DynaView has the capability to display information to the operator including the ability to adjust settings. Multiple screens are available and text is presented in multiple languages as factory-ordered or can be easily downloaded from www.trane.com.
TechView can be connected to either the DynaView module and provides further data, adjustment capabilities, diagnostics information using downloadable software.

DynaView Interface

The DynaView share the same enclosure design: weatherproof and durable plastic for use as a stand-alone device on the outside of the unit or mounted nearby.
The display on DynaView is a 1/4 VGA display with a resistive touch screen and an LED backlight. The display area is approximately 4 inches wide by 3 inches high (102mm x 60mm).

Key Functions

In this touch screen application, key functions are determined completely by software and change depending upon the subject matter currently being displayed. The basic touch screen functions are outlined below.

Radio Buttons

Radio buttons show one menu choice among two or more alternatives, all visible. (It is the AUTO button in old-fashioned radios to select stations. When one is pressed, the one that was previ­ously pressed “pops out” and the new station is selected. In the DynaView model the possible selections are each associated with a button. The selected button is dark ened, presented in reverse video to indicate it is the selected choice. The full range of possible choices as well as the current choice is always in view.

Spin Value Buttons

Spin values are used to allow a variable setpoint to be changed, such as leaving water setpoint. The value increases or decreases by touching the increment (+) or decre ment (-) arrows.

Action Buttons Action buttons appear temporarily and provide the user with a choice such as Enter or Cancel.

Hot Links

Hot links are used to navigate from one view to another view.

File Folder Tabs

File folder tabs are used to select a screen of data. Just like tabs in a file folder, these serve to title the folder/screen selected, as well as provide navigation to other screens. In DynaView, the tabs are in one row across the top of the display. The folder tabs are separated from the rest of the display by a horizontal line. Vertical lines sepa rate the tabs from each other. The folder that is selected has no horizontal line under

its tab, thereby making it look like a part of the current folder (as would an open folder in a file cabinet). The user selects a screen of information by touching the appropriate tab.

Display Screens

Basic Screen Format

The basic screen format appears as
:
File folder
Tabs
Radio buttons
Page scroll (up)
Page scroll (down)
Line scroll (up/down)
Tab navigator
Auto Stop Alarms
Contrast control (lighter)
The file folder tabs across the top of the screen are used to select the various display screens.
Scroll arrows are added if more file tabs (choices) are available. When the tabs are at the left most position, the left navigator will not show and only navigation to the right will be possible. Likewise when the right most screen is selected, only left navigation will be possible.
The main body of the screen is used for description text, data, setpoints, or keys (touch sensitive areas). The Chiller Mode is displayed here.
The double up arrows cause a page-by-page scroll either up or down. The single arrow causes a line by line scroll to occur. At the end of the page, the appropriate scroll bar will disappear.
A double arrow pointing to the right indicates more information is available about the specific item on that same line. Pressing it will bring you to a subscreen that will present the information or allow changes to settings.
The bottom of the screen (Fixed Display) is present in all screens and contains the fol­lowing functions. The left circular area is used to reduce the contrast/viewing angle of the display. The right circular area is used to increase the contrast/viewing angle of the display. The contrast may require re-adjustment at ambient temperatures sig nificantly different from those present at last adjustment.
The other functions are critical to machine operation. The AUTO and STOP keys are used to enable or disable the chiller. The key selected is in black (reverse video). The chiller will stop when the STOP key is touched and after completing the Run Unload mode.
Touching the AUTO key will enable the chiller for active cooling if no diagnostic is
present. (A separate action must be taken to clear active diagnostics.)
The AUTO and STOP keys, take precedence over the Enter and Cancel keys. (While a setting is being changed, AUTO and STOP keys are recognized even if Enter or Cancel has not been pressed.)

If the Display and Touch Screen Lock feature is disabled, the following screen is auto­matically displayed if the DynaView Temperature is below freezing and has been 30 minutes after the last keystroke. Note: This feature is provided to avoid unintended actuations of the keypad, which can occur due to ice build-up on the DynaView’s exte rior surfaces. Also be aware that at extremes of temperatures, the LCD display screen will change its contrast from the optimal adjustment made at more normal temperatures. It can appear washed out or blacked out. Simply pressing the lower right contrast control on the screen will return the display to readable condition.
NOTE: All screens shown in this section are typical. Some screens show all display options available, only one of which may appear on a line.

Modes Screen

The Mode Screen is only found on software revisions 18 and later. This screen pro­vides a display for the top level operating mode for each of the components and sub­components of the chiller (i.e. Chiller, Circuits, and Compressors) that exist on the Chiller as it is configured. The modes are displayed as text only without the hex codes.
In software revisions 17.0 and earlier, the top level mode and the sub mode for each component was displayed on the respective component tab on the first two lines. The mode display of the first three lines of the Compressor and Chiller Screen tabs is eliminated with the addition of the Mode Screen

Chiller Modes Description
Top Level Mode
Sub-modes
Start Inhibited by BAS The chiller is inhibited from starting (and running) by
command from a Building Automation System via the digital communication link (com 3 or com 5).
Waiting for BAS Communications This is a transient mode - 15-min. max, and is only
possible if the chiller is in the Auto - Remote command mode. After a power up reset, it is necessary to wait for valid communication from a Building Automation System (Tracer) to know whether to run or stay inhibited. Either valid communication will be received from the Building Automation System (e.g. Tracer), or a communication diagnostic ultimately will result. In the latter case the chiller will revert to Local control.
Ice Building to Normal Transition The chiller is inhibited from running for a brief period of
time if it is commanded from active ice building mode into normal cooling mode via the ice building hardwired input or Tracer. This allows time for the external system load to "switchover" from an ice bank to the chilled water loop, and provides for a controlled pull down of the loop's warmer temperature. This mode is not seen if the ice making is automatically terminated on return brine temperature per the mode below.
Ice Building is Complete The chiller is inhibited from running as the Ice Building
process has been normally terminated on the return brine temperature. The chiller will not start unless the ice building command (hardwired input or Building Automation System command) is removed or cycled.
Auto The chiller is not currently running but can be expected to
start at any moment given that the proper conditions and interlocks are satisfied. Further information is provided by the sub-mode:
Waiting For Evap Water Flow The chiller will wait up to 4 minutes in this mode for
evaporator water flow to be established per the flow switch hardwired input.
Waiting for Need to Cool The chiller will wait indefinitely in this mode, for an
evaporator leaving water temperature higher than the Chilled Water Setpoint plus the Differential to Start.
Starting The chiller is going through the necessary steps to allow
the lead circuit and lead compressor to start.
No Sub Modes
Running At least one circuit and one compressor on the chiller are
currently running. Further information is provided by the sub-mode:

Running - Limited At least one circuit and one compressor on the chiller are
currently running, but the operation of the chiller as a whole is being actively limited by the controls.
Capacity Limited by High Evap Water Temp
This mode will occur if both the OA temperature is above 40°F and the Evap Leaving Water Temperature is above 75°F as is often the case in a high temperature pull-down. While in this mode, no compressors will be allowed to load past their minimum load capacity step, but it will not inhibit compressor staging. This mode is necessary to prevent nuisance trips due to Compressor Overcurrent or High Pressure Cutout. Reasonable pull-down rates can still be expected despite this limit.
