Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing this unit.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required. Your personal safety and the proper operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING
CAUTIONs
NOTICE
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 and HCFCs such as saturated or unsaturated HFCs and HCFCs.
Important 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 according to local rules. For the USA, 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.

Product Description
Trane Remote Air-Cooled Condensers are designed to be the most efficient and reliable condensers in the industry. The unit is an air-cooled, heat rejection condenser with a vertical air discharge pattern.
The unit is self-contained in a light weight, corrosion resistant aluminum cabinet ho
rizontal surface. The cabinet houses the condenser coil(s) and fan assembly(s). The electrical controls are in an integrally mounted, weatherproof enclosure which is isolated from the rest of the equipment.
There are many cabinet sizes based on the capacity of the
nit. Refer to the installation drawing supplied with your
u unit for the layout and dimensions of your cabinet.
TR-SCS condensers are highly efficient heat systems. Enhanced performance TR-SCS-MC are also available. TR-SCS-MC condensers are equipped with micro-channel coils which offer greater refrigerant­to-air heat transfer. The total heat rejection in BTU/hr will depend on the unit size. Refer to the unit nameplate to identify the model number of your unit. The system will consist of a single refrigeration circuit or dual circuit coil. The coil is a closed-loop refrigerant condensing heat exchanger in which refrigerant is continuously circulated by the pressure differential created by a compressor.
The compressor increases refrige sufficiently high for it to be cooled and condensed into

General Design
Trane TR-SCS series remote air-cooled condensers are housed in an aluminum frame cabinet and are rated for outdoor use. The figures that follow depict the two types of condensers and identifies the major components.
Figure 1 depicts a layout of a typical TR-SCS Figure 2 depicts a layout of a typical TR-SCS-MC
condenser.
Condenser Coil
The capacity of the condenser, indicated by the unit model number, is based on the rated capacity of the coil. In the case of dual circuit units, the model number is based on the combined capacity of both coils.
TR-SCS Condenser Coils
TR-SCS condenser coils are copper tube, aluminum finned coils.
TR-SCS-MC Micro-Channel Condenser Coils
TR-SCS-MC condenser coils are brazed all-aluminum construction with high performance fins which provide improved airflow and higher heat transfer.

condenser.
Figure 2. Typical layout - TR-SCS-MC condenser
Fan Assembly
The condenser is equipped with high efficiency axial type, impeller fan(s) rated for outdoor applications. The quantity of fans vary depending upon the capacity of the unit. The fan(s) use corrosion resistant, multi-blade impellers designed for high aerodynamic efficiency which results in lower power consumption, lower noise levels and longer life. Each fan uses a direct driven motor with maintenance free bearings. The fan motors are internally protected from overload.
Electric Box
The electrical components are protected in a weather resistant enclosure located at the header end of the unit. The electric box has a removable front access panel which is safety interlocked with the service disconnect switch, preventing the panel from being removed when the switch is in the “On” position. The switch must be turned “Off” to gain access to the electrical components.
Receiver (Optional)
Receivers are furnished for air-cooled condensers using flooded head pressure control for low ambient

Introduction
Head Pressure Controls
Condenser Fan Cycling (AA Models)
Used for outdoor installations where ambient condenser air inlet temperatures are 0 °F or higher, a condenser fan cycling switch monitors refrigerant discharge pressure and turns on the condenser fan as required to maintain allowable condenser pressures. This is a high-pressure differential control switch with Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) contacts and an automatic reset. The switch activates the condenser fan contactor to maintain condensing temperature when the discharge pressure rises. See settings.
Note: It may be
On single circuit condensers, each own fan cycling switch. Multiple fans are staged to operate sequentially as discharge pressure rises. The primary fan (closest to the header) turns on 1st as described above. If pressure continues to rise, adjacent fan(s) are set to turn on in sequential increments with the fan located furthest from the header turning on last. Conversely, as discharge pressure drops, the fans drop out sequentially in reverse order.
Dual Circuit condensers emplo control switch for each refrigeration circuit. For smaller model condensers, two control switches (one per refrigeration circuit) are adjusted to the same pressure setpoint and are wired in parallel to operate a single fan.

y a fan cycling pressure
If either control switch senses a rise in pressure, the fan will turn on. On dual circuit units with multiple fans, operation of each additional fan requires two paralleled pressure control switches (one for each refrigeration circuit). Each set of paralleled switches will be set to the same pressure such that the adjacent fans begin operating at sequentially higher pressure increments. For larger model micro-channel condensers (TR-SCS-MC-111 through TR-SCS-MC-334) the fan cycling pressure control switches are not in parallel. The control switches operate the fan(s) assigned to each refrigeration circuit independently.
Variable Condenser Fan Speed (SA Models)
Used for outdoor installations where ambient condenser air inlet temperatures may fall to -20°F, a variable speed condenser fan motor controller is used to maintain head pressure. The fan speed control is a continual modulation of the motor’s speed. The condenser fan speed controller monitors the refrigerant discharge pressure and as discharge pressure rises, the fan speed increases. The condenser fan speed varies as required to maintain allowable condenser pressures. The fan speed controller is set to maintain the correct condensing pressure. See Table 2 for the variable fan speed pressure control settings.
When used on systems with variable fan speed control is used only on the first fan which is closest to the header. Additional fans use pressure fan cycling control as described in

Flooded Head Pressure Control
Used for outdoor installations where ambient condenser air inlet temperatures may fall to -30°F, flooded head pressure control is used to maintain head pressure during the low ambient temperature conditions. A head pressure control valve and a receiver are used in the refrigeration circuit to back up liquid refrigerant into the condenser coil. The head pressure control valve is a 3-way modulating valve controlled by the discharge pressure (see

Introduction
When ambient temperature drops, the discharge pressure drops also. When the discharge pressure drops, the head pressure control valve diverts discharge gas away from the condenser to the receiver. Liquid flow from the condenser is restricted, causing liquid to back up in the condenser.
Flooding the condenser reduces the area available for condensing. The desired
result is to increase the pressure into the condenser, maintaining a minimum discharge pressure during low ambient operation thus ensuring proper condensing temperature. The head pressure control valve requires no adjustment.

This method of controlling head pressure allows the
denser fan to run continuously. While the fan is
con running, the flooded head pressure control valve modulates the amount of discharge gas entering the receiver. As the pressure increases, the valve diverts more discharge gas to the condenser, allowing more liquid to flow from the condenser to the receiver.
When using this method of head pressure regulation there must be enough refrigerant in the system to ensure an adequate charge at the lowest expected ambient temperature in which the system will be operating. A receiver is used to store the extra refrigerant when the condenser is not utilizing it.

Receivers are provided as an option for systems utilizing flooded head pressure control. Receivers for TR-SCS condensers are provided on a separate mounting base frame. Position optional TR-SCS receiver(s) as close as possible to the condenser inlet/outlet pipe stubs. Secure the receiver base frame to the foundation using the mounting holes in the base. (Receivers for TR-SCS-MC condensers are factory mounted to the condenser frame.)
Split air-cooled systems require a field installed copper discharge line and copper liquid line between the condenser and the evaporator. Dual circuited condensers will require two sets of piping. Refer to the refrigeration diagram provided with your unit for piping details.
Provide a permanent stand or support brace for the inlet/
utlet pipes within one foot of the condenser header to
o prevent undue stress on soldered connections (see
Figure 5, p. 11). The refrigerant piping should be isolated
by vibra
tion isolating supports. Provide supports (clamps or hangers) as necessary every 5 to 10 feet along piping runs to minimize vibration and noise transmission. When sealing openings in walls use a soft flexible material to pack around the piping to reduce vibration transmission and prevent pipe damage.
All refrigerant piping should be installed with high
perature soldered joints. Use standard refrigeration
tem practices for piping supports, leak testing, dehydration and charging of the refrigeration circuits.

not indicate the size of the refrigerant lines to be used. In cases where the pipe size doesn’t match the size of the connection, reducing fittings must be used to transition between the connection and the pipe.
Discharge Line
Since refrigerant may condense during “Off” cycles, all vertical discharge risers should be designed to prevent liquid refrigerant from flowing back into the compressor. If a condenser is installed above the evaporator, the discharge line should include a shallow P-trap at the lowest point in the piping (see
The highest point in the discharge line should be abov e the
ndenser coil. Install an inverted trap at the condenser
co inlet to prevent liquid refrigerant from flowing backwards into the hot gas riser during off cycles. Shallow P-traps must be included in the discharge line for every 20 feet of vertical rise. All horizontal refrigerant lines should be pitched in the direction of flow at least 1/4 inch per 10 feet.
Discharge line velocities must be a minimum of 500 fpm for horizontal runs
and 1,000 fpm for vertical risers to ensure oil is returned to the compressor at both full and partial load operating conditions.
It is important that the discharge li degree of pressure drop. This will ensure the refrigerant flows at a velocity high enough for the refrigerant vapor to carry the oil with it to the condenser and to prevent the oil from returning to the compressor.
Compressor discharge pressure is always higher than
densing pressure due to the line pressure drop. The
con line pressure drop also causes a change in the refrigerant saturation temperature. The discharge line needs to be sized so the pressure drop won’t cause a corresponding change in saturation temperature exceeding 2°F.
Discharge piping is typically s drop of 5 psi (+/- 50%), which results in only a 1/2% to 1% reduction in compressor capacity. Pressure drops greater than 10 psi will impair system performance.
Figure 9, p. 14 depicts a typical piping diagram when the
ndenser is located
co
at a higher level than the indoor evaporator. In this situation, it is especially important to size the discharge line properly. If the discharge line is sized correctly for full load operation, the velocity of the gas may be too low during minimum load conditions to carry the refrigerant oil vertically through the discharge line to the condenser coil.
Decreasing the size of the discharge line will increase the
erant velocity, however, it will also restrict the flow of
refrig refrigerant at full load conditions creating an excessive refrigerant pressure drop.
To remedy this, dual risers may be used as shown in
Figure 10, p. 14. Discharge riser #1 should be sized to
allow the
refrigerant gas to flow at a sufficient velocity
during minimum load conditions to carry the oil.

en the trap fills with oil during partial load operation,
wh thus diverting the flow of refrigerant to riser #1.
Figure 9. Piping installation
Figure 10. Dual riser piping
Liquid Line
The velocity of refrigerant in the liquid line is less critical because liquid refrigerant and oil are mixed thoroughly in the liquid state. The main concern when sizing the liquid line is to maintain a solid head of liquid refrigerant entering the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). If the refrigerant pressure falls below its saturation temperature, a portion of the liquid refrigerant may change into vapor. Vapor will cause flashing and prevent the TXV from functioning properly. As flashing begins, the rate of pressure loss increases.
The liquid refrigerant is sub-cooled slight
ration temperature. Sub-cooling must be sufficient to
satu allow the necessary pressure drop without approaching a saturation condition where gas flashing could occur. Under normal operation the refrigerant is sufficiently cooled as it leaves the condenser to allow for normal line pressure drops.
Liquid line size is to be selected based on a pressure drop
uivalent to 2°F sub-cooling.
eq
Operating liquid line velocities should be less than 300 fpm to avoid liquid hammering during solenoid operation. If the condenser is installed below the evaporator section, the installer must observe the pressure changes that occur if the elevation change. See

Receiver Pipe Installation (TR-SCS condenser only)
Receiver inlets and outlets are equipped with RotoLock valves that must have brazed pipe connections. It is important to remove the valve from the adapter on the receiver before brazing the refrigerant piping to it. Wrap wet rags around the valve body to prevent the internal parts from being damaged by the heat.
After brazing the pipe to the valve, remove and replace the
eflon O-ring in the RotoLock adapter with the new one
T which is cable-tied to the valve. When re-attaching the valve to the receiver, apply thread lock to the adapter threads to prevent it from vibrating loose. Tighten the valve to the receiver and check it for leaks when performing the steps given in Preparing System for Charging section.
Main Power and Control Wiring
Systems equipped with a remote condenser require field wiring (see main power wiring to the remote condenser control box. The condenser is provided with main power and control terminal positions for connection of the field wiring (supplied by others). Additional conductors may be necessary depending on options selected.
Verify that the main power supply coincides with voltage, phase and frequency information specified on the system nameplate (see voltage me voltage specified on the nameplate. The nameplate also provides the full load amps (FLA), the current that the unit will draw under full design load, the minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) for wire sizing, and the maximum fuse or HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration) breaker size (MAX FUSE/CKT BKR) for circuit protection. The unit’s nameplate is located inside the electrical box.

Compressor Damage!
Improper wire connections could result in the reverse rotation of the fan. To correct this problem, exchange any two of the incoming main power wires at the main power circuit breaker. Do NOT rewire the unit’s individual components.
Identify the options that were purchased with your system to confirm which field connections are required. The number of control conductors needed will vary depending on the options and type of control method being used. Refer to the electrical drawing supplied with your unit to determine the total number of interconnecting conductors required for your equipment and for the proper wire terminations.
Condenser Enable Feature
As an option, the installer may wire a 2-conductor control cable between the A/C system and the condenser, so the system controller may enable the condenser to operate only when the compressor is running. You must remove the jumper (X2:1-X2:2) from the remote condenser terminal board (see the condenser wiring diagram). Wire 24 VAC control conductors from the terminal board within the A/C unit to the remote condenser terminal board. If control wires are not installed (and the jumper remains in place), the condenser is always enabled and will turn on and off based on the condenser’s pressure control switch setting(s).
The condenser enable feature may be used in high
mbient temperature locations to prevent the condenser
a from running unnecessarily. In some cases, outdoor temperature conditions may raise refrigerant line pressures high enough to cause the condenser fans to start operating even if the compressor is not on.
Receiver Heater Wiring
If separate base frame mounted receiver(s) are used for TR-SCS condensers, it will be necessary to provide a 2­conductor cable for the heating pad(s). Connect the wires from the terminals inside the junction box on the receiver base (see condenser electric box. Drill an entrance hole in the condenser electric box or use an available knock-out if furnished. See the wiring diagram for the correct wire terminal positions.

System Charging
Refrigerant charging pressures vary depending on the type of refrigerant used in the unit. Before charging, check the unit nameplate to confirm the type of refrigerant to use.
Table 1 and Table 2 show the temperature/pressure
characteristics for R407C and R410A.
R407C/R410A Refrigerant
R407C and R410A are blended refrigerants recognized for being safer for the environment. These refrigerants contain no chlorine, the component in HCFC’s that destroys the earth’s ozone layer. However, the same care should be taken to prevent leakage because R407C and R410A can contribute to the greenhouse effect if released. If the refrigerant gas is released in an enclosed space, it can suffocate.
Refrigerants that are multi-component blends have component parts change in composition and saturation temperature as evaporation and condensation occur. Typically, the composition of R407C vapor is different than that of R407C

a dry nitrogen leak detection test on the system. Using dry nitrogen only, pressurize the system to 150 psig. Ensure all service and solenoid valves are energized open and that no part of the system is isolated from the pressurized nitrogen (liquid, suction or discharge lines and reheat coil).
2. Since there is no refrigerant in the s this point, leaks may be detected by observing if there has been a change in the standing pressure after 12 hours. A significant drop in pressure indicates a leak in the system that needs to be repaired. After the system is determined to be free of leaks, you may evacuate the system.

A proper vacuum must be drawn on the refrigerant system to remove moisture prior to charging. If this is not done the refrigerant charge will combine with moisture in the pipes to form an acid that will eventually lead to compressor failure. A triple evacuation procedure with dry nitrogen is recommended especially for systems with newly installed refrigerant piping.

Refrigerant Charging Procedures
R407C and R410A refrigerant must be weighed in when performing the charge. Ensure an adequate supply of refrigerant is available before beginning. Calculate the minimum amount of refrigerant needed for your system.
When charging a system using a blended refrigerant, it is
ential that the composition of the refrigerant is
ess maintained. To ensure correct composition, introduce the refrigerant (R407C or R410A) into the system in liquid form rather than vapor form. Cylinders which are not provided with dip tubes should be inverted to allow only liquid refrigerant to charge the system. Keeping the temperature of the cylinder below 85°F will help to maintain the correct refrigerant composition while the cylinder is emptied.
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
POE oil is used in systems with R407C or R410A refrigerant. POE oil quickly absorbs moisture when exposed to air. High POE oil moisture levels react with refrigerant to form acid which results in system contamination. Keep the entire system sealed as much as possible and minimize exposure of the POE oil to outside air.

The head pressure control valve modulates to maintain system h
ead pressure; you will witness this if the above procedure is strictly followed. Under low ambient conditions with the header fan functioning, the head pressure will lower during operation. The valve will not allow the pressure to drive below the printed setting on the valve. Check the system superheat and sub-cooling temperatures.
Turn the unit off for 15–30 minutes. Restart the system and

ob should not dip or drive below the low pressure switch setting.
Checking the Charge
To ensure you are not over charged, set up the condenser fan to mainta
in pressure (320 psig for R407C; 440 psig for R410A) or your summer maximum operating head pressure. Hold the pressure steady at this setting. You should observe that cycling “Off” on head pressure will not occur now or during warmer temperatures.

WARNING
Hazardous Service Procedures!
Failure to follow all precautions in this manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels could result in death or serious injury.
Technicians, in order to protect themselves from potential electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the following instructions: Unless specified otherwise, disconnect all electrical power including remote disconnect and discharge all energy storing devices such as capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. When necessary to work with live electrical components, have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks.
Periodic General Maintenance
Systematic, periodic general maintenance of the condenser is recommended for optimum system performance. General maintenance should include, but is not limited to the following:
1. Tighten electrical connections.
2. Clean the interior of the unit.
3. Inspect the unit’s components visually.
Use copies of the Periodic General Maintenance Checklist

General
Maintenance access to the condenser is through the removable fan assembly panel on top of the unit. Examine the areas around the air inlet and outlet grills, fans, motors and coils. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft bristle brush to clean dirt from components.
Clean the coil of all debris that will inhibit airflow. This can

Field Service
It may be necessary to perform repairs on the refrigeration system. If field repairs are necessary, the following procedures apply:
Note: Do not attempt to make repairs without the proper
tools.
Leak Detection
Several methods can be used to detect a leak in the refrigeration system. The most modern and easiest method is to use an electronic leak detector. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and any leak can be quickly located. A second method is to use soap bubbles. Apply a solution of soapy water with a brush or sponge to the joints and connections in the refrigerant lines. A leak in the lines will cause bubbles to form.
Leak Repair
When a leak is located, properly reclaim the remaining refrigerant charge before attempting repairs. Adjacent piping must be thoroughly cleaned by removing all paint, dirt and oily film. Use wire brush, sandcloth or sandpaper and wipe the area with clean, dry cloths. Protect nearby parts from heat damage by wrapping with water-soaked cloths
Refrigerant Piping
When replacing components within the cabinet, the following consumable materials are recommended: When brazing copper-to-copper connections (piping liquid line or suction line), use a phosphorus copper brazing alloy with 15% silver. General purpose silver brazing alloy with 45% silver is to be used for copper-to-brass or copper-to steel.
For liquid line repairs at the drier, strainer, sight glass, or
xpansion valve, use a 95% tin to 5% antimony solder with
e flux. When component replacement is complete, remove all traces of flux. After any repair, pressure check the system, checking for leaks prior to recharging the system.
Electrical System
All electrical connections should be checked to be sure that they are tight and properly made. Check all switches,
