Trane CenTraVac™ Water-Cooled Chiller CVHG - 670-780 - 621 - 080L / 080L

Review the purge Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual and follow maintenance and/or inspection items identified

Review overall operation of purge and service as necessary

Equipment Damage! Mixing refrigerants or oils could result in equipment damage including bearing damage, introduction of acids into the chiller, or continuous purge pump-out in high-head/high ambient applications

CenTraVac chillers are manufactured with different refrigerant/oil systems: 1) chillers using R-123 refrigerant and OIL00022 compressor oil, and 2) chillers using R-514A refrigerant and OIL00334/OIL00335 compressor oil

Verify proper refrigerant and oil for your chiller and do NOT mix refrigerants or oils!

Important: Verify proper refrigerant and compressor oil for your chiller before proceeding!

1. After the first six months of accumulated operation or after 1000 hours operation—whichever comes first—it is recommended to change the oil and filter

2. After this oil change, it is recommended to subscribe to the Trane annual oil analysis program rather than automatically change the oil as part of scheduled maintenance

3. Change the oil only if indicated by the oil analysis. Using an oil analysis program will reduce the chiller’s overall lifetime waste oil generation and minimize refrigerant emissions. The analysis determines system moisture content, acid level, and wear metal content of the oil, and can be used as a diagnostic tool. The oil analysis should be performed by a qualified laboratory that is experienced in refrigerant and oil chemistry and in the servicing of Trane® centrifugal chillers

WARNING: Explosion Hazard! Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Use a leak test solution for leak testing.

WARNING: Hazardous Pressures! If a heat source is required to raise the tank pressure during removal of refrigerant from cylinders, use only warm water or heat blankets to raise the tank temperature. Do not exceed a temperature of 150°F. Do not under any circumstances apply direct flame to any portion of the cylinder.

Important: If leak testing is required, contact a Trane Service Agency.

Check purge times and unit performance logs

Submit refrigerant sample for analysis if required

Inspect unit for any signs of refrigerant or oil leakage

Check unit for any loose screws on flange, volutes, or casing

Warning: Equipment Damage! Failure to follow instructions could result in equipment damage

Do NOT use Teflon-based tape or paste on anode; a small amount of liquid sealant (Loctite® 242 or equivalent) may be applied to prevent leakage when installing an anode, but do not apply so much sealant that it prevents the necessary electrical connection between the anode and the waterbox

Inspection of anodes for wear within the first several months of the anodes being placed into service

Enter the observed loss of anode material

Anode has lost 50 percent or more of its original mass

If anode depletion occurs very quickly, consult a water treatment specialist to determine if the anode material selected is correct for the application

Used a 2-1/2 in. (63.5 mm) wrench to remove/install Trane-supplied waterbox anodes

Trane recommends that coated waterboxes/tubesheets - regardless of the type of protective coating included - be taken out of service within the first one to three months of operation for inspection.

Any voids or defects identified upon inspection?

If voids or defects are identified, they must be repaired.

Is the water quality known to be highly supportive of corrosion (i.e., sea water, etc.)?

If yes, inspect the coating system at one month.

Is the water quality known to be relatively benign (i.e., normal treated and clean condenser water)?

If yes, inspect the coating system within three months.

Did the initial inspections show no problems?

Only when initial inspections show no problems are present should subsequent maintenance intervals be increased.
