NOTICE: 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!

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.

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.

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.

In conjunction with other diagnostics performed by a qualified service technician, oil analyses can provide valuable information on the performance of the chiller to help minimize operating and maintenance costs and maximize its operating life. A valve is installed next to the oil filter for the purpose of obtaining oil samples.

Use a non-destructive tube test to inspect the condenser and evaporator tubes

It may be desirable to perform tube tests on these components at more frequent intervals depending upon chiller application

This is especially true of critical process equipment

Ask your Sales account manager for a copy of engineering bulletin (CTV-PRB024*-EN) for clarification of the role of eddy current testing in chiller maintenance by providing information about eddy current technology and heat exchanger tubing
