Trane CenTraVac™ Water-Cooled Chiller CVHG - 670-780 - 621 - 080L / 142L

- Shut down the chiller once each year to check the items of Condenser

1. Inspect for fouling and scaling in tubes

2. Check operation of condenser water flow sensing device

3. Factory recommendation to eddy current test tubes every three years;

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

Anodes inspected for wear within the first several months of 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, was a water treatment specialist consulted?

NOTICE: Proper Water Treatment Required! The use of untreated or improperly treated water could result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or slime. Use the services of a qualified water treatment specialist to determine what water treatment, if any, is required. Trane assumes no responsibility for equipment failures which result from untreated or improperly treated water, or saline or brackish water.

Condenser tube fouling is indicated when the approach temperature (the difference between the condensing refrigerant temperature and the leaving condenser water temperature) is higher than predicted.

If the annual condenser tube inspection indicates that the tubes are fouled, two cleaning methods— mechanical and chemical—can be used to rid the tubes of contaminants. Use the mechanical cleaning method to remove sludge and loose material from smooth-bore tubes.

To clean other types of tubes including internally- enhanced types, consult a qualified service organization for recommendations.

Follow all instructions in “Waterbox Removal and Installation,” to remove waterbox covers.

Work a round nylon or brass bristled brush (attached to a rod) in and out of each of the condenser water tubes to loosen the sludge.

Thoroughly flush the condenser water tubes with clean water.

Scale deposits are best removed by chemical means. Be sure to consult any qualified chemical house in the area (one familiar with the local water supply’s chemical mineral content) for a recommended cleaning solution suitable for the job.

NOTICE: Unit Corrosion Damage! Failure to follow instructions below could result in corrosion damage to the unit and tubes. Follow proper procedures when using corrosive chemicals to clean water side of unit. If unsure, it is recommended that the services of a qualified chemical cleaning firm be used.

- Shut down the chiller once each year to check the items

4. Inspect motor terminal board

5. Check inlet guide vanes (IGV) for abnormalities;

Contact a qualified service organization to determine when to conduct a complete examination of the unit to discern the condition of the compressor and internal components

Check for evaporator water tube leaks

Check for condenser water tube leaks
