Trane 3-D Scr oll Compressor
Simple Design with 70% Fewer Par ts
Fewer parts than an equal capacity
reciprocating compressor means
significant reliability and efficiency
benefits. The single orbiting scroll
eliminates the need for pistons,
connecting rods, wrist pins and valves.
Fewer parts lead to increased reliability .
Fewer moving parts, less rotating mass
and less internal friction means greater
efficiency than reciprocating
compressors.
The Trane 3-D Scroll pro vides important
reliability and efficiency benefits. The 3-D
Scroll allows the orbiting scrolls to touch
in all three dimensions, forming a
completely enclosed compression
chamber whic h leads to increased
efficiency . In addition, the orbiting scrolls
only touch with enough force to create a
seal; there is no wear between the scroll
plates. The fixed and orbiting scrolls are
made of high strength cast iron which
results in less thermal distortion, less
leakage, and higher efficiencies. The
most outstanding feature of the 3-D
Scroll compressor is that slugging will
not cause failure. In a reciprocating
compressor, however , the liquid or dir t
can cause serious damage.
Low T orque Variation
The 3-D Scroll compressor has a very
smooth compression cycle; torque
variations are only 30 percent of that
produced by a reciprocating compressor.
This means that the scroll compressor
imposes very little stress on the motor
resulting in greater reliability. Low torque
variation reduces noise and vibration.
Suction Gas Cooled Motor
Compressor motor efficiency and
reliability is further optimized with the
latest scroll design. Cool suction gas
keeps the motor cooler for longer life
and better efficiency.
Proven Design Through T esting and
Research
With over twenty years of development
and testing, Trane 3-D Scroll
compressors have undergone more
than 400,000 hours of laboratory testing
and field operation. This work combined
with over 25 patents makes Trane the

Application
Considerations
Certain application constraints should be
considered when sizing, selecting and
installing Trane air-cooled condensing
units. Unit reliability is dependent upon
these considerations. Where your
application varies from the guidelines
presented, it should be reviewed with the
local Trane sales engineer .
Unit Sizing
Unit capacities are listed in the
performance data section on pages 11 to
24. Intentionally oversizing a unit to
assure adequate capacity is not
recommended. Erratic system operation
and excessive compressor cycling are
often a direct result of an oversized
condensing unit. In addition, an
oversized unit is usually more expensive
to purchase, install and operate. If
oversizing is desired, consider using two
units.
Unit Placement
A base or foundation is not required if
the selected unit location is level and
strong enough to support the unit’s
operating weight (as listed on page 45).
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 using spring or
rubber isolators. The isolators are
effective in reducing the low frequency
sound generated by compressors and,
therefore, are recommended for sound
sensitive installations. An acoustical
engineer should always be consulted on
critical applications.
For maximum isolation effect, the
refrigeration lines and electrical conduit
should also be isolated. 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 placement must be
carefully evaluated.
Servicing
Adequate clearance for compressor
servicing should be provided.
Recommended minimum space
envelopes for servicing are located in the
dimensional data section of this catalog
and can serve as guidelines for providing
adequate clearance. The minimum space
envelopes also allow for control panel
door swing and rountine maintenance
requirements. Local code requirements
may take precedence.
Unit Location
Unobstructed flow of condenser air is
essential for maintaining condensing
unit capacity and operating efficiency .
When determining unit placement,
careful consideration must be given to
assure proper air flow across the
condenser heat transfer surface. Failure
to heed these considerations will result
in warm air recirculatioin and coil air
flow starvation.
Warm air recirculation occurs when
discharge air from the condenser fans is
recycled back at the condenser coil inlet.
Coil starvation occurs when free air flow
to the condenser is restricted.
Both warm air recirculation and coil
starvation cause reductions in unit
efficiency and capacity . In addition, in
more severe cases, nuisance unit
shutdowns will result from exessive
head pressures. Accurate estimates of
the degree of efficiency and capacity
reduction are not possible due to the
unpredictable effect of varying winds.
When hot gas bypass is used, reduced
head pressure increases the minimum
ambient condition for proper operation.
In addition, wind tends to further reduce
head pressure. Therefore, it is advisable
to protect the air -cooled condensing unit
from continuous direct winds exceeding
10 miles per hour.
Debris, trash, supplies, etc., should not
be allowed to accumulate in the vicinity
of the air -cooled condensing unit. Supply
air movement may draw debris between
coil fins and cause coil starvation.
Special consideration should be given to
units operating in low ambient
temperatures. Condenser coils and fan
discharge must be kept free of snow and
other obstructions to permit adequate air
flow for satisfactory unit operation.
Effect of Altitude on Capacity
Condensing unit capacities given in the
performance data tables on pages 11 to
24 are at sea level. At elevations
substantially above sea level, the
decreased air density will decrease
condenser capacity and, therefore, unit
capacity and efficiency. The adjustment
factors in Table PAF -1 can be applied
directly to the catalog performance data
to determine the unit’s adjusted
performance.
Ambient Considerations
Start-up and operation at lower
ambients requires sufficient head
pressure be maintained for proper
expansion valve operation. At higher
ambients, excessive head pressure may
result. Standard operating conditions are
40°F to 115°F. With a low ambient
damper, operation down to 0°F is
possible. Minimum ambient
temperatures are based on still
conditions (winds not exceeding five
mph). Greater wind velocities will result
in increased minimum operating
ambients. Units with hot gas bypass
have a minimum operating ambient
temperature of 10°F. For proper
operation outside these
recommendations, contact the local
T rane sales of fice.
Coil Frost Pr otection
FROST AT™ is standard on condensing
units when the VAV option is ordered.
FROST AT consists of a ship-with
thermostat for field installation on the
suction line. A timer is also factoryinstalled to avoid short cycling. FROSTAT
cycles the compressor off when the
suction line is below 30°F. Refer to
S/S-EB-43 for more detail.
When hot gas valves must be used on 20
to 120-ton units, they can be ordered as
a miscellaneous option. 20 to 30-ton
units require one valve; 40 to 60-ton
units also require one valve except when
no system control option is selected; this
option requires two valves. 80 to 120-ton
units require one valve when Supply Air
VAV control is selected. Two valves are
required on all other 80 to 120-ton
control options.
Refriger ant Piping
Special consideration must always be
given to oil return. Minimum suction gas
velocities must always be maintained for
proper oil return. Utilize appropriate
piping tools for line sizing such as the
CDS Refrigerant Piping Program. Fo r
special applications, call Clarksville
Product Support.
SS-PRC005-EN6
Selection
Pr ocedure
RAUC/AIR HANDLER
Selection Procedure
Net capacity curves for the RAUC
condensing units are given on pages 14
through 23. These graphs can be used to
cross plot an evaporator (EVP)
performance curve. The resultant point
of intersection will be the system design
balance point. The design operating
suction temperature and capacity can
then be read directly from the graph.
(Note: It is usually necessary to account
for suction and liquid line losses in the
performance accordingly. The actual
losses are determined by the
interconnecting piping.)
To plot the evaporator performance
curve it is only necessary to obtain gross
evaporator capacities for the given
entering air conditions and cfm at two
different saturated suction temperatures.
The Trane Refrigeration Coil Computer
Selection Program can be used to
conveniently provide the necessary
evaporator capacity values at the
selected suction temperatures.
RAUC/EVP Selection
Procedure
Preselected RAUC/EVP capacities are
provided on pages 12 and 13. To select
for other RAUC/EVP combinations or
conditions, four quantities must be
known. They are:
a.
Entering (EWT) or leaving (L WT) water
temperature.
b.
Net cooling load (T).
c.
Water temperature drop (dt).
d.
Waterflow rate in g allons per minute
(gpm). Knowing any two of the last three
variables (T, dt, and gpm) will determine
the third since
T = (Gpm x dt)/24.
Standard Selection Procedur e
1.
Determine: EWT, T, dt, gpm.
2.
Select an evaporator (EBP) and split
condensing unit (RAUC) to mix -matc h.
3.
Enter Charts PD-18, PD-20, and PD-21 to
find ITD/dt.
4.
From Step 3 calculate the saturated
suction temperature (SST) of the chiller
at the given load using the formula
SST = EWT - [(ITD/dt) x dt].
5.
Enter the appropriate RAUC capacity
char t on pages 1 4-23 with the result on
SST and given load, T. If this point is
below or on the proper condensing unit
performance curve at the same suction
temperature, the RAUC/EVP
combination will meet the desired load.
If above, try a larger chiller and/or
condensing unit. Repeat Steps 2 through
5 until the most economical mix-matc h
has been achieved.
Example
Given:
Ambient Air = 95°F
Supply Water T emperature = 45°F
Waterflow = 230 Gpm
Water Temperature Drop = 10°F
Choose a nominal RAUC and EVP:
RAUC-D1 0 and 1 00-ton EVP
Step 3:
Gpm/nominal tonnage = 230/100 = 2.30
ITD/dt is read from Chart PD-21 as 1.70,
assuming .0005 fouling factor.
Step 4:
SST =
EWT - [(ITD/dt) x dt] =
[55 - (1 .70 x 10)] = 38.0°F = SST
Enter Chart PD-14 at 38.0°F SST and 95
ambient air. The condensing unit will
produce 1182 MBh at 38.0°F SST,
therefore the 100-ton EVP/RAUC-D1 0 is
the proper selection.
Alternative Selection Pr ocedur e
Given: The same information as in the
standard selection procedure plus a
predetermined condensing unit.
Enter the specified RAUC condensing
unit performance curve with the
appropriate cooling load T, to determine
the minimum required suction
temperature.
Enter Chart PD-14 with ITD/dt (EWTsaturated suction temperature/dt) to
determine a gpm/nominal tonnage.
Since the gpm is known, the smallest
nominal size EVP can therefore be
calculated.
Example:
Given:
Ambient Air = 95°F
Condensing Unit - RAUC-C80
Supply Water T emperature - 45°F
dt = 10°F
T = 80.0 Tons
Enter Chart PD-13 at 95°F and 80.0 tons
to read the saturated suction
temperature (SST) as 39.7.
Step 3:
Enter Chart PD-21 at an ITD/dt = (EWT SST)/dt = (55 - 39.7)/1 0 = 1.53
Then read the maximum gpm/nominal
tons as 1 .87 (assume .0005 fouling
factor). Therefore since 1.87 = Gpm/
Nominal T on = 152/1.87 = 81.4 T ons. An
80-ton EVP is the optimum selection.
