Series R™ Helical Rotary

Chiller model RTAC

A Reliable Source of Chilled Water from Trane

World-class testing sets Trane chillers
apart from the competition.

Our rigorous design verification helps ensure

reliable operation over a wide range of

operating conditions. Testing involves:

• Extreme testing, including cold ambient starts,

hot water starts and high ambient operation

• Compressor-accelerated lifecycle testing,

including high-pressure ratio, high load test,

flooded starts/stops, start/stop testing and

phase reversal

• FEA analysis to confirm the unit structure can

withstand shipping, rigging and operational

activity

• Electrical testing with destructive testing for

short-circuit withstand rating

• Performance modeling and verification, both

during design and for the life of the chiller

Trane offers units

and compressors

that have been

extensively tested to

verify that their

operation is robust

and that a smooth

start-up is ensured.

Reliability

You need performance that is dependable and

reliability you can count on. We are committed

to the highest level of design and

manufacturing accuracy to make sure your

chiller performs as expected.

Over 50,000 Pueblo-built RTAC chillers are

installed around the world and attest to our

unequaled reliability. There are more than

250,000 helical rotary compressors (including

both air and water cooled chillers) operating

with our proven direct-drive, low speed,

semi-hermetic compressor design. These facts,

along with over 25 years of helical-rotary chiller

manufacturing know-how and a continued drive

to improve our processes, are the ingredients for

our sustained reliability.

World-class testing facilities

Trane’s world-class testing facilities set us apart

from the competition. We look at environmental

performance, operating longevity, and overall

operating efficiency in order to provide you with

the most reliable product for the long term.

On-site factory performance testing confirms

that the actual chiller performance matches

predicted performance, and test results serve as

a benchmark during the commissioning process.

On-going testing is conducted to continually

confirm that performance expectations are

being met and quality product is being

produced. After the chiller goes into production,

we keep looking for ways to make it better,

quieter, more reliable, and more efficient.
