Unit inspection
When the unit is delivered, verify that it is the correct unit and that it is properly equipped.
Inspect all interior components for visible damage. Report any apparent damage or material shortage to the carrier and make a “unit damage“ notation on the carrier's delivery receipt. Specify the extent and type of damage found and notify the appropriate Trane sales office. Do not proceed with the installation of a damaged unit without sales office approval.
Inspection checklist
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in transit, complete the checklist upon receipt of the unit.
Inspect the individual pieces of the
shipment before accepting the unit. Check for obvious damage to the unit or packing material.
Inspect the unit for concealed
damage as soon as possible after delivery and before it is stored.
Concealed damage must be
reported within 72 hours after receipt and confirmed by registered delivery to the carrier and the Trane sales office.
If concealed damage is discovered,
stop unpacking the shipment. Do not remove the damaged material from the receiving location. Take photos of the damage, if possible. The owner must provide reasonable evidence that the damage did not occur after delivery.
Notify the Trane sales
representative and arrange for repair. Do not repair the unit, however, until damage is inspected by the transportation representative.

Unit description
The RTWB units are helical-rotary type, water-cooled, liquid chillers designed for indoor installation . The units have two independent refrigerant circuits, with one compressor per circuit.
Each RTWB unit is completely assembled, wired, leak-tested, dehydrated, charged, and tested for proper control operation prior to shipment. The chilled-water inlet and outlet openings are covered for shipment.
The RTWB series features Trane's exclusive Adaptive Control
logic with Clear Language Display. It monitors the control variables that govern the operation of the unit. Adaptive Control logic can correct these variables, when necessary, to optimize operational efficiencies, avoid chiller shutdown, and keep producing chilled water.
Compressor unloaders are oil pressure operated. Each refrigerant circuit is provided with filter, electronic expansion valve, and charging valves.

General Information
Installation overview
For convenience, Table 1 summarizes responsibilities that are typically associated with the RTWB chiller installation process.
Locate and maintain the loose
parts, for example, isolators, bulb wells, temperature sensors, flow sensors, or other factory-ordered, field-installed options, for installation, as required.
Install the unit on a foundation
with flat support surfaces, level within 6 mm and of sufficient strength to support concentrated weight. Place the manufacturer­supplied isolation pad assemblies under the unit.
Install the unit per the instructions
outlined in the mechanical installation section. 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 provide at least 1 m of clearance between the pre­installation piping and the planned location of the unit. This will allow for proper fit-up upon arrival of the unit at the installation site. All necessary piping adjustments can be made at that time.
Where specified, supply and install valves in the water piping upstream and downstream of the evaporator and condenser water boxes to isolate the shells for maintenance and to balance and trim the system.
Supply and install flow switches or equivalent devices in both the chilled-water and condenser-water piping. Interlock each switch with the proper pump starter and UCP2 to ensure that the unit can only operate when water flow is established.
Supply and install taps for thermometers and pressure gauges in the water piping, adjacent to the inlet and outlet connections of both the evaporator and the condenser.
Supply and install drain valves on each water box.
Supply and install vents cocks on each water box.
Where specified, supply and install strainers ahead of all pumps and automatic modulating valves.
Supply and install refrigerant pressure-relief piping from the pressure relief to the atmosphere.
Start the unit under supervision of a qualified service technician.
Where specified, supply and insulate the evaporator and any other portion of the unit, as required, to prevent sweating under normal operating conditions.
For unit-mounted starters, cutouts are provided at the top of the panel for line-side wiring.
Supply and install the wire terminal lugs to the starter.
Supply and install field wiring to the line-side lugs of the starter.

Dimensions in mm
Storage
If the chiller is to be stored for at least one month prior to the installation, observe the following precautions:
– Do not remove the protective
coverings from the unit.
– Store the chiller in a dry, vibration-
free secure area.
– At least every three months, check
the pressure in the refrigerant circuit. If the condensing pressure is below 4 bar at 20°C, call a qualified service organization and the appropriate Trane sales office.
Location requirements
Noise considerations
– Refer to the engineering bulletin
for noise-consideration applications.
– Locate the unit away from sound-
sensitive areas.
– Install the isolation pads under the
unit.
– Install the rubber vibration
isolators in all water piping.
– Use flexible electrical conduit.
Note: Consult an acoustical engineer for critical applications.
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete foundation of sufficient strength and mass to support the chiller operating weight (including completed piping and full operating charges of refrigerant, oil, and water). Refer to Table 2 for unit operating weights.
When in place, level the chiller within 6 mm over its length and width. The Trane Company is not responsible for equipment problems resulting from an improperly­designed or -constructed foundation.
Vibration eliminators
– Provide rubber boot-type isolators
for all water piping at the unit.
– Provide flexible conduit for
electrical connections to the unit.
– Isolate all pipe hangers and be
sure they are not supported by main structure beams that could introduce vibration into occupied spaces
– Make sure that the piping does
not put additional stress on the unit.
Note: Do not use metal-braided­type eliminators on the water piping. Metal braided eliminators are not effective at the frequencies at which the unit will operate.
Clearances
Provide enough space around the unit to allow the installation and maintenance personnel unrestricted access to all service points. Refer to submittal drawings for the unit dimensions.
Allow adequate clearance for condenser and compressor servicing. A minimum of 1 meter is recommended for compressor service and to provide sufficient clearance for the opening of the control panel doors. Refer to Figure 4 for minimum clearances required for condenser-tube service. In all cases, local codes will take precedence over these recommendations.
Note: Required vertical clearance above the unit is 1 meter. There should be no piping or conduit located over the compressor motor. If the room configuration requires a variance to the clearance dimensions, contact your Trane sales office representative.
Note: Maximum clearances are given depending on the unit configuration; some units may require less clearance than others in the same category.
Local regulations may provide for specific requirements.

Ventilation
The unit produces heat even though the compressor is cooled by the refrigerant . Make provisions to remove heat generated by unit operation from the equipment room. Ventilation must be adequate to maintain an ambient temperature lower than 40°C.
Vent the evaporator, condenser, and compressor pressure-relief valves venting.
Make provisions in the equipment room to keep the chiller from being exposed to freezing temperatures (0°C).
Water drainage
Locate the unit near a large capacity drain for water vessel drain-down during shutdown or repair. Condensers and evaporators are provided with drain connections. Refer to “water piping“.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
To prevent unit damage, position the lifting beam so that cables do not come in contact with the unit.
Do not use the threaded holes in the compressor to lift, or assist in lifting, the unit.They are not intended for that purpose and could create a dangerous situation.
Do not remove the wood shipping mounts until the unit is in its final location. Removal of wood shipping mounts prior to unit final locating could result in injury or death and equipment damage.
Connect an anti-rotation strap between the lifting beam and the compressor before lifting the unit. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death, if a lifting cable fails.

the control panel.
A vent is provided on the top of the
evaporator at the return end. Be
sure to provide additional vents at
high points in the piping to bleed air
from the chilled-water system.
Install necessary pressure gauges to
monitor the entering and leaving
chilled-water pressures.
To prevent damage to chilled-water
components, do not allow
evaporator pressure (maximum
working pressure) to exceed 10 bar.
Provide shutoff valves in lines to the gauges, in order to isolate them from the system when they are not in use. Use rubber vibration eliminators to prevent vibration transmission through the water lines.
If desired, install thermometers in the lines to monitor entering and leaving-water temperatures. Install a balancing valve in the leaving-water line to control the balance of the water flow. Install shutoff valves on both the entering and leaving-water lines so that the evaporator can be isolated for service.
A pipe strainer should be installed in the entering water line to prevent water-borne debris from entering the evaporator.

Condenser Water Limitation (RTWB only)
The RTWB starts and operate satisfactorily over a wide range of load conditions with controlled entering condenser water temperature. Reducing the condenser water temperature is an effective method of lowering the power input to the compressors. The optimum condenser water temperature is related to the leaving chilled water temperature and the percentage of load on the chiller. Nevertheless it is required to maintain a minimum temperature differential of 18°C between the leaving chilled water temperature and the leaving condenser temperature. This minimum temperature differential must be reached within 2 minutes from start­up and maintained thereafter.
Furthermore, the entering condenser water temperature should never drop below 20°C, whatever the other operating conditions of the chiller.
When one of these 2 parameters is expected to drop below the limit stated here above, even at start up, it is required that some form of condenser water temperature control be implemented to satisfy compressor safety and to ensure optimum chiller performance.
There are numerous methods to control condenser water temperature. Methods other than those shown can be employed to achieve the same results. Contact your local Trane office for details.
Throttling valve
This method maintains condensing pressure and temperature by throttling water flow leaving the condenser in response to condenser pressure or system differential pressures.

Advantages:
• Good control with proper valve sizing at relatively low cost.
• Pumping cost can be reduced.
Disadvantages:
• Increased rate of fouling due to lower condenser water velocity.
• Requires pumps that can accommodate variable flow.

Water treatment
Do not use untreated or improperly treated water. Use of untreated or improperly treated water may result in equipment damage.
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 water­treatment 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. Trane assumes no responsibility for the results of the use of untreated or improperly treated water, or saline or brackish water.

Advantage:
• Excellent control by maintaining constant water flow through the condenser.
Disadvantage:
• Higher cost because of the dedicated pump required for each chiller if condenser pressure is the control signal.

Installation Mechanical
Water pressure gauges and thermometers
Install field-supplied thermometers and pressure gauges (with manifolds, whenever practical) as shown in Figure 7. Locate pressure gauges or taps in a straight run of pipes -avoid placement near elbows­. Be sure to install the gauges at the same elevation on each shell if the shell has opposite-end water connections.
To read manifolded water-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.
Water-pressure-relief valves
Install pressure-relief valves in both evaporator and condenser systems. Failure to do so could result in shell damage.
Install water-pressure-relief valves in one of the condenser and one of the evaporator water box drain connections or on the shell side of any shutoff valve. Water vessels with close-coupled shutoff valves have a high potential for hydrostatic pressure buildup with a water temperature increase. Refer to the applicable regulation for relief-valve installation guidelines.
Flow sensing devices
Use field-provided flow switches or differential pressure switches with pump interlocks to sense system water flow. Flow switch locations are schematically shown in Figure 7.
To provide chiller protection, install and wire flow switches in series with the water pump interlocks, for both chilled-water and condenser-water circuits (refer to the installation electrical section). Specific connections and schematic wiring diagrams are shipped with the unit.
Flow switches must stop or prevent compressor operation if either system water flow drops off drastically. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for selection and installation procedures. General guidelines for flow switch installation are outlined below.
Mount the flow 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 the water flow.
To prevent switch fluttering, remove all air from the water system.
Note:The Unit Control Module provides a 6-second time delay on the flow-switch input before shutting down the unit on a loss-of-flow diagnostic. Contact a qualified service organization if machine shutdowns persist.
Adjust the switch to open when water flow falls below nominal. Refer to the evaporator and condenser data table for minimum flow recommendations. Flow-switch contacts are closed on proof of water flow.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
Refrigerant pressure relief­valve venting
To prevent injury due to inhalation of R134a gas, do not discharge refrigerant anywhere. If multiple chillers are installed, each unit must have separate venting for its relief valves. Consult local regulations for any special relief-line requirements.
All relief-valve venting is the responsibility of the installing contractor.
All RTWB units use evaporator, compressor, and condenser pressure-relief-valves that must be vented to the outside of the building. Relief-valve connection sizes and location are shown in the unit submittals. Refer to national regulation for relief valve vent line sizing information.
To prevent capacity reduction and relief-valve damage, do not exceed vent piping code specifications.
Note: After being opened once, relief
valves tend to leak.

Power supply wiring
Model RTWB chillers are designed according to European standard EN60204. All power-supply wiring must be sized and selected accordingly by the project engineer.
Water pump power supply
Provide power-supply wiring with fused disconnect switch for both the chilled-water and condenser-water pumps.
Electrical panel power supply
Power supply wiring instructions for the starter/control panel are: run line voltage wiring in conduit to access opening(s) on the starter/control panel.
Compressor-motor phase sequencing
Always verify that proper rotation of the RTWB compressors is established before the machine is started. Proper motor rotation requires confirmation of the electrical phase sequence of the power supply. The motor is internally connected for clockwise rotation with the incoming power supply phased A,B,C (L1,L2,L3).
This direction may be reversed outside the alternator by interchanging any two of the line wires. It is this possible interchange of wiring that makes a phase sequence indicator necessary if the operator is to quickly determine the phase rotation of the motor.

Do not turn the chiller on or off using the chilled-water interlocks.
When making field connections, refer to the appropriate field layout, wiring schematics, and control diagrams that ship with the unit.
Chilled-water pump control
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
The chilled-water pump must operate for a minimum of one minute after the UCM receives a command, through the external Auto/Stop input, to shut down the chilled-water system.
On the RTWB units, the controller will initiate the “Run:Unload“ mode to terminate a cycle from any of the following:
- Stop key pressed
- Loss of load
- External Auto/Stop input opened
The “Run:Unload“ operating mode commands the compressor to completely unload, which takes about ½ minute. This will allow the compressors to be totally unloaded for the next start-up. If only the proof-of-chilled-water-flow interlock is used, the chiller will shut down with an immediate (non-friendly) shutdown and initiate an automatic reset diagnostic.
1. External Auto/Stop (terminals A1 TB3-3 and -4) This input is supplied by the field. A contact closure will start the chiller water pump and chiller, via the UCM pump control contacts. Opening the contact will put the operating compressors into “Run:Unload“ mode and initiate a timing period (1 to 30 minutes, adjustable through the Clear Language Display). This will delay termination of the chilled-water pump operation via the UCM pump control contacts. Examples of the input terminals 1UTB3-3 and -4 would be a time clock, ambient thermostat, building automation system.
2. UCM Pump Control Contacts (Terminals A1 TB4-8 and -9) This output is a set of contacts that will close, starting the chilled­water pump when the external Auto/Stop contacts are closed. When the contacts are opened, 1 to 30 minutes later (adjustable through the Clear Language Display), the UCM pump control contacts open.
3. Proof-of-Chilled-Water-Flow Interlock (Terminals A1 TB3-1 and
-2) This terminal must be field­installed. Contact closure between the terminals indicates proof of chilled-water flow. Examples of this are a pump starter auxiliary contact, flow switch, differential pressure switch, or a contact from a building automation system. Opening of this contact will immediately shut down the chiller and initiate an automatic reset diagnostic, indicating loss of chilled-water flow
4. Condenser-Water Pump For the condenser-water pump interlock on the RTWB units, connect leads from terminals 6X3 to 6X6 and the water pump control. The circuit is 110 V (ac)and the load is not to exceed 1150 VA inrush, 115 VA sealed. This will interlock the condenser­water pump operation with the unit operation. This insures that the condenser-water pump is operating before the compressor(s) is started.
5. Alarm/Running/Maximum Capacity Outputs Terminals 1 to 7 on terminal strip TB4 of the A1 board provide a variety of contact outputs on the RTWB. These are dependent on the setting of Programmable Relay Setup (Service Setting Menu) and its relationship to diagnostics, compressors operating, and the system operating at full capacity.
As shown in Figure 13, there are three relays.

Low-voltage wiring
The remote devices described below require low-voltage wiring. All wiring to and from these remote input devices to the UCM, as described in the hereafter paragraph, must be made with shielded, twisted-pair conductors. Be sure to ground the shielding only at the Clear Language Display.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
To prevent control malfunction, do not run low-voltage wiring (<30V) in conduits with conductors carrying more than 30 V.
Emergency stop (normal trip)
The Clear Language Display provides auxiliary control for a customer-specified or -installed latching tripout. When this remote contact 6S2 (furnished by the customer) is provided, the chiller will run normally when the contact is closed. When the contact opens, the unit will trip off on a manually­resettable diagnostic. This condition requires manual reset at the chiller switch on the front of the Clear Language Display.
Installation Electrical
To connect, first remove the jumper located between terminal 3 and 4 of A1 TB1. Refer to the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit.
External circuit lockout - Circuit number 1
The UCM provides auxiliary control of a customer-specified or -installed contact closure, for individual operation of circuit number 1. If the contact is closed, the refrigerant circuit will not operate. The refrigerant circuit will run normally when the contact is opened.
External circuit lockout will only function if External Circuit Lockout (service setting Menu) is enabled.
Connections are shown in the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit.
Page 24
RTWB-SVN01B-E4
24
External circuit lockout - Circuit number 2
The UCM provides auxiliary control of a customer-specified or -installed contact closure, for individual operation of circuit number 2. If the contact is closed, the refrigerant circuit will not operate. The refrigerant circuit will run normally when the contact is opened.
External circuit lockout will only function if External Circuit Lockout (service setting Menu) is enabled.
Connections are shown in the field diagrams that are shipped with the unit.
Ice-making option
Ice-machine control (Operator Setting Menu) must be enabled. The UCM provides auxiliary control for a customer-specified or -installed contact closure for ice making. When contact 6S55, module A9, terminals TB1 1 and 2, is provided, the chiller will run normally when the contact is open. Upon contact closure, the UCM will initiate an ice­building mode, in which the unit runs fully loaded at all times. Ice­building shall be determined either by opening the contact or based on the entering evaporator-water temperature setting under Active Ice Termination Setting (Chiller Report Menu). The UCM will not permit ice­building mode to be reentered until the unit has been switched out of ice-building mode (open 6S55 contacts) and then switched back into ice-building mode.
In ice-building, the current setpoint will be set at 120%. For example, if the front panel or external current limit setpoint is set to 80%, in ice­building the active current limit is 120%.
If, while in ice-building mode, the unit gets down to the freezestat setting (water or refrigerant), the unit will shut down on a manually resettable diagnostic, just as in normal operation.
External chilled-water setpoint: voltage source 2-10 V (dc), or Current source 4-20 mA
This option allows the external setting of the chilled-water setpoint, independent of the front panel chilled-water setpoint, by one of the two means:
1 - An isolated voltage input 2-10 V
(dc)
2 - An isolated current loop input 4-

Outdoor air-temperature sensor
This sensor is used for low ambient lockout and chilled-water reset by outdoor air temperature. This sensor is optional on the RTWB units.
Remove the sensor from its shipping location in the control panel and install it in the fresh-air intake on the north wall of the building. Protect the sensor from direct sunlight and shelter it from the elements.
Connect leads to terminals 1 and 2 from module A9 TB1. All wiring to and from the remote sensor must be made with shielded, twisted-pair conductors. Be sure to ground the shielding only at the UCM. Apply tape to the sensor end of the shielding to prevent it from contacting the surface.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
To prevent injury or death, disconnect the electrical power source before completing wiring connections to the unit.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
To prevent overheating at the terminal connections, use copper conductors only.
Communication card
This option allows the Clear Language Display in the control panel on RTWB units to exchange information (operating setpoints and Auto/Standby commands) with a higher-level control device, such as Tracer. A shielded, twisted-pair connection establishes the bidirectional communications link between the unit control panel and the Tracer.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Note:The shielded, twisted-pair conductors must run in a separate conduit.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
To prevent control malfunction, do not run low-voltage wiring (<30V) in conduits with conductors carrying more than 30 volts.

General
Field wiring for the communication link must meet the following requirements:
1. All wiring must be in accordance with local codes.
2. Communication link wiring must be shielded, twisted-pair wiring.
3. The maximum total length for each communication link is 1,500 meters.
4. The communication link cannot pass between buildings.
5. All UCM on the communication link can be connected in a “daisy chain“ configuration.
Installation Electrical
Communication-link connection procedure
1. Refer to the Tracer installation literature to determine proper communication-link termination connections at the Tracer module.
2. Connect the shield of the communication-link wiring to the designated shield terminal at the Tracer module.
3. Connect leads to terminals 1 and 2 of TB2 of the module A9 of the UCM to the Tracer. There is no polarity requirement for the connection.
4. At the UCM, the shield should be cut and taped to prevent any contact between the shield and ground.
Note: On multiple-unit installations, splice the shielding of the twisted pairs that come into each UCM in the “daisy chain“ system. Tape the spliced connections to prevent any contact between the shield and ground. At the last Clear Language Display in the chain, the shield should be cut and taped off.
5. To get the chiller to communicate with a Tracer on a multiple-unit controller, the ICS address under the “service settings“ menu must be set and the optional A9 module must be installed. The Tracer will look for chiller addresses 55,56,57,58,59, or 60. Each chiller must have a unique address.

Pre-start checkout
General
When installation is complete, but prior to putting the unit into service, the following pre-start procedures must be reviewed and verified:
[ ] Inspect all wiring connections to
be sure they are clean and tight.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects, before servicing. Failure to disconnect power before servicing can cause severe personal injury or death.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Check the tightness of all connections in the compressor power circuit (disconnects, terminal block, contactors, compressor junction box terminals, …). Loose connections can cause overheating at the connections and undervoltage conditions at the compressor motor.
[ ] Verify that all refrigerant valves
are open.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Do not operate the unit with the compressor, oil discharge, or liquid line valves closed. Failure to have these open may cause serious compressor damage.
[ ] Check the power supply voltage
to the unit at the main-power, fused disconnect switch. Voltage must be within the voltage utilization range, given in Table 7 and also stamped on the unit nameplate. Voltage imbalance must not exceed 2%
WWAARRNNIINNGG
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects, before servicing. Failure to disconnect power before servicing can cause severe personal injury or death.
[ ] Check the unit power phasing to
be sure that it has been installed in an “ABC“ sequence.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
It is imperative that l1-l2-l3 in the starter be connected in the A-B-C phase sequence to prevent equipment damage due to reverse rotation.
[ ] Fill the evaporator and condenser
chilled-water circuits. Refer to Table 2 for liquid capacities. Vent the system while it is being filled. Open the vents on the top of the evaporator and condenser during filling, and close them when filling is completed
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 of corrosion, erosion, or deterioration of Trane equipment. Trane assumes no responsibilities for the results of the use of untreated or improperly treated water or saline or brackish water.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Do not use untreated or improperly treated water. Equipment damage may occur
[ ] Close the fused disconnect
switch that supplies power to the chilled-water pump starter and the condenser pump starter.
[ ] Start the chilled-water pump and
condenser-water pump to begin circulation of the water. Inspect all piping for leakage and make any necessary repairs.
[ ] With water circulating through
the system, adjust the water flow and check the water-pressure drop through the evaporator and condenser. Refer to Tables 5 and
6.
[ ] Adjust the chilled-water flow
switch and the condenser-water flow switch (if installed) for proper operation.
[ ] Prove all interlock and

Unit voltage power supply
Voltage to the unit must meet the criteria given in Table 7. Measure each phase of the supply voltage at the unit main-power, fused disconnect. If the measured voltage on any phase is not within the specified range, notify the supplier of the power and correct the situation before operating the unit.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Inadequate voltage to the unit can cause control components to malfunction and shorten the life of relay contacts, compressor motors, and contactors.
Unit voltage imbalance
Excessive voltage imbalance between the phases of a three-phase system can cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. The maximum allowable imbalance is 2%. Voltage imbalance is determined using the following calculations:
% imbalance =(Ux - U average)
U average
U average = (U1 + U2 + U3) / 3
Ux = phase with greatest difference
from U average (without regard to sign).
For example, if the three measured voltages are 401, 410, and 407 volts, the average would be:
401 + 412 + 417 = 410
3
The percentage of imbalance is then:
100 * ( 410 - 401) = 2.2%
410
This exceeds the maximum allowable (2%) by 0.2%.
Unit voltage phasing
WWAARRNNIINNGG
It is imperative that L1-L2-L3 in the starter be connected in the A-B-C phase sequence, to prevent equipment damage due to reverse rotation.
It is important that proper rotation of the compressors be established before the unit is started. Proper motor rotation requires confirmation of the electrical phase sequence of the power supply. The motor is internally connected for clockwise rotation, with the incoming power supply phased A,B,C.
When rotation is clockwise, phase sequence is usually called “ABC;“ when counterclockwise, “CBA.“
This direction may be reversed outside the alternator by interchanging any two of the line wires. It is this possible interchange of wiring that makes a phase sequence indicator necessary if the operator is to quickly determine the phase rotation of the motor.
Water system flow rates
Establish a balanced chilled-water flow through the evaporator. The flow rates should be between the minimum and maximum values given in Table 4.
The flow rates through the condenser must also be balanced according to the flow rates table (Table 4).
Water system pressure drop
Measure the water pressure drop through the evaporator and condenser at the field-installed pressure taps, on the system water piping. Use the same gauge for each measurement. Do not include valves, strainers, or fittings in the pressure drop reading.
Unit Start-Up Procedures

Start up procedure
General
If the pre-start checkout, as discussed above, has been completed, the unit is ready to start. The Clear Language Display is shown in Figure 12. Complete each step in sequence, as follows:
[ ] Press the Stop key on the Clear
Language Display.
[ ] As necessary, adjust the setpoint
values in the Clear Language Display menus.
[ ] Close the fused disconnect
switch for the chilled-water pump and the condenser-water pump. Energize the pumps to start the water circulation.
[ ] Check the service valves on the
discharge line, suction line, oil line, and liquid line for each circuit. These valves must be open before starting the compressors.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
To prevent compressor damage, do not operate the unit until all refrigerant and oil-line service valves are opened.
[ ] Verify that the chilled-water pump
runs for one minute after the chiller is commanded to stop (for normal chilled-water systems).
[ ] Press the Auto key. If the chiller
control calls for cooling and all safety interlocks are closed, the unit will start. The compressor(s) will load and unload in response to the temperature of the leaving chilled-water temperature.
After the system has been operating for approximately 30 minutes and has become stabilized, complete the start-up procedures as follows.
[ ] Check the evaporator refrigerant
pressure and the condenser refrigerant pressure under the Refrigerant Report on the Clear Language display.
[ ] Measure the system superheat.
[ ] Measure the system subcooling.
[ ] A shortage of refrigerant is
indicated if the operating pressures are low and the subcooling is also low. If the operating pressures, superheat, and subcooling readings indicate a refrigerant shortage, gas-charge refrigerant into each circuit as required. With the unit running, add refrigerant vapor by connecting the charging line to the suction service valve and charging through the backseat port until operating conditions become normal.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
If both suction and discharge pressures are low and subcooling is normal, a problem other than refrigerant shortage exists. Do not add refrigerant, as this may result in overcharging the circuit.
Use only the refrigerant specified on the unit nameplate, to prevent compressor damage and insure full system capacity.
[ ] If operating conditions indicate a
refrigerant overcharge, remove refrigerant at the liquid line service valve. Allow refrigerant to escape slowly to minimize oil loss. Do not discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
Do not allow refrigerant to directly contact skin, or injury from frostbite may result.
System superheat
Normal suction superheat for each circuit is approximately 3°C at full operating load. Superheat temperature can be expected to be moving around a 3°C setpoint when the chiller is pulling down or when the compressor slide valve is being modulated.
System subcooling
Normal subcooling for each circuit ranges from 5.5°C to 11°C, depending on the unit. If subcooling for either circuit does not approximate these figures, check the superheat for the circuit and adjust it, if required. If superheat is normal but subcooling is not, contact a qualified service technician.

Unit shutdown procedures
Temporary shutdown and restart
To shut the unit down for a short time, use the following procedure:
• Press the Stop key on the Clear Language Display. The compressors will continue to operate and, after unloading for 20 seconds, will stop when the compressor contactor de­energizes.
• Stop the water circulation by turning off both the chilled-water pump and the condenser-water pump.
To restart the unit after a temporary shutdown, restart the chilled-water pump and the condenser-water pump, and press the Auto key. The unit will start normally if the following conditions exist:
• The UCM must receive a call for cooling and the differential-to-start must be above the setpoint.
• All system operating interlocks and safety circuits must be satisfied.
Extended shutdown procedure
The following procedure is to be followed if the system is to be taken out of service for an extended period of time as a seasonal shutdown:
Test the unit for refrigerant leakage and repair as necessary.
Open the electrical disconnect switches for the chilled-water pump and the condenser-water pump. Lock the switches in the “open“ position.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Lock the chilled-water and condenser-water pump disconnects open, to prevent pump damage.
• Close all chilled-water supply valves and the condenser-water supply valves. Drain the water from the evaporator and the condenser.
• Open the unit main electrical disconnect and the unit-mounted disconnect (if installed), and lock in the “Open“ position.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Lock the disconnects on the “Open“ position to prevent accidental start­up and damage to the system when it has been set up for extended shutdown.
At least every three months, check the pressure in the unit to verify that the refrigerant charge is intact.
System restart after extended shutdown
• Follow the procedures below to restart the unit after an extended shutdown:
• Verify that the liquid-line service valves, oil line, and compressor discharge service valves are open.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
To prevent damage to the compressor, be sure that all refrigerant valves are open before starting the unit.
• Check the oil-separator oil level. See the Maintenance paragraph.
• Fill the evaporator- and condenser­water circuits. Refer to Table 4 for evaporator- and condenser-water content. Vent the system while it is being filled. Open the vents on the tops of the evaporator and condenser during filling and close them when filling is completed.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Do not use untreated or improperly treated water. Equipment damage may occur.
• Close the fused disconnect switches that provide power to the chilled-water pump and the condenser-water pump.
• Start both the evaporator- and condenser-water pumps and, while water is circulating, inspect all piping for leakage. Make any necessary repairs before starting the unit.
• While the water is circulating, adjust the water flows and check the water pressure drops through the evaporator and the condenser. Refer to “Water System Flow Rates“ and “Water System Pressure Drop.“
• Adjust the flow switch (s) on the evaporator piping and the condenser piping (if installed) for proper operation.
• Stop both water pumps. The unit is now ready for the start-up procedure.

Maintenance
General
This section describes specific maintenance procedures that must be performed as a part of the normal maintenance program for this unit. Be certain that electrical power to the unit is disconnected before performing these procedures.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
Position all electrical disconnects in the “Open“ position and lock them, to prevent injury or death due to electrical shock.
Cleaning the evaporator
The evaporator water system is a part of a closed loop and should not accumulate an appreciable amount of scale or sludge. If it is determined that the chiller is fouled, attempt to dislodge any foreign material by backflushing the system several times. If this does not work satisfactorily, chemically clean the chiller using the procedures outlined in the following section.
Cleaning the condenser
General
Water that is available for condensing frequently contains minerals or other contaminants that collect on the inside of the condenser tubes. Scale accumulation will accelerate with high condensing temperatures and the use of water with high mineral content. Cooling devices collect dust and foreign material that are also deposited on the condenser tubes, forming sludge.
To maintain maximum efficiency, the condenser must remain as free of these deposits as possible. Even a very thin layer on the inside tube surfaces reduces the heat-transfer ability of the condenser. Indications of scale deposits are: decreased water flow through the condenser, reduced temperature differential between the entering and leaving condenser-water, and abnormally high condensing temperatures.
There are two accepted methods of cleaning the condenser tubes, as discussed in the following paragraphs.
Mechanical cleaning
The mechanical cleaning method is used primarily to remove sludge and other loose material from the condenser tubes.
Follow the steps below:
Turn off the chiller and condenser water supplies.
Break piping connections and the unions.
Remove the condenser heads.
Run a round nylon brush from the end through the tubes, to loosen deposits.
Flush the tubes with water. Then inspect the tubes for scale accumulation. If there is no scale in the tubes, reassemble the condenser and piping.
If there is scale in the tubes, follow the procedures in the following paragraph.
Chemical cleaning
Chemical cleaning is the most satisfactory method of cleaning scale from the condenser. With this treatment, scale is dissolved and flushed away by circulating a chemical solution through the tubes and headers.
Internal condenser components are composed of copper, steel, and cast iron. With this information, water treatment firms will be able to recommend a suitable chemical for this purpose. If water treatment is not available, consult a chemical supply house.
Water treatment
The use of untreated or improperly treated water in the unit may result in the formation of scale, algae, or slime. It may also cause erosion or corrosion. It is recommended that a qualified water treatment specialist provide recommendations for proper water treatment. The Trane Company assumes no responsibility for equipment failure caused by the use of untreated or improperly treated water.

Oil filter change
Note: Routine changing of the oil or the oil filter is not recommended. The oil filter is oversized for this application.
The oil and filter should be replaced only if analysis reveals that the oil is contaminated. Oil type and system capacities are shown in Table 2.
Pressure drop across the oil filter is shown in Figure 13. Oil filter pressure drop is the difference between the two pressure-control ports.
Refrigerant filter change
If the temperature drop through the filter is higher than 4K, the filter should be changed.

Refrigerant charging
If the refrigerant needs to be adjusted, be certain to monitor the subcooling and superheat measurements. The subcooling needs to be between 6 and 12°C when the unit is running fully loaded. The superheat needs to be close to, or at, the superheat setpoint entered in the UCM.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
The evaporator water flow must be established and maintained while adjusting the charge. Refrigerant pressures below 2,3 bar gauge can cause freezing and rupturing of the evaporator tubes.
Adding refrigerant
The RTWB units are shipped with an entire charge of refrigerant and oil. If the unit has no pressure, the system must be leak tested prior to adding refrigerant. Evacuate the system down to at least 500 microns prior to adding the refrigerant.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Water must be flowing through the tube bundles during this entire process. Refrigerant pressures below 2,3 bar gauge can cause freezing and rupturing of the heat exchangers.
1. Connect 110 V power to the female stepload solenoid and the male load/unload solenoids. This must be done to evacuate all of the cavities in the compressor.
2. Open all service valves.
3. Connect hoses from the vacuum pump to the LP and HP ports on the unit.
4. Evacuate the system to 500 microns and isolate the vacuum pump.
Periodic Maintenance
