Trane Packaged Rooftop TSC060AW

Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaning, enhances the unit’s operating efficiency by minimizing: compressor head pressure and amperage draw; evaporator water carryover; fan brake horsepower, due to increase static pressure losses; airflow reduction.

At least once each year, or more often if the unit is located in a “dirty” environment, clean the evaporator and condenser coils using the instructions outlined below. Be sure to follow these instructions as closely as possible to avoid damaging the coils.

Note: For units equipped with hail guards follow removal procedure listed below.

To clean refrigerant coils, use a soft brush and a sprayer (either a garden pump-up type or a high-pressure sprayer).

Warning: This maintenance check requires trained personnel with PPE!

Airflow through the unit is adequate for proper sampling by the return air smoke detector?

If airflow is not adequate, report the issues to the maintenance team and stop the procedure

Adherence to the maintenance procedures, including recommended intervals between filter changes, and coil cleaning is required?

Enter the amount of dirt and debris accumulated on the indoor coil and filters

Smoke detector functioning properly?

Sign off on the smoke detector maintenance

Check the unit’s drain pans and condensate piping to ensure that there are no blockages

Inspect the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt, bent fins, etc. If the coils appear dirty, clean them according to the instructions described in “Coil Cleaning” later in this section

Manually rotate the condenser fan(s) to ensure free movement and check motor bearings for wear. Verify that all of the fan mounting hardware is tight

Inspect the F/A-R/A damper hinges and pins to ensure that all moving parts are securely mounted. Keep the blades clean as necessary

Verify that all damper linkages move freely; lubricate with white grease, if necessary

Check supply fan motor bearings; repair or replace the motor as necessary

Check the fan shaft bearings for wear. Replace the bearings as necessary

Check the supply fan belt. If the belt is frayed or worn, replace it. Refer to the “Fan Belt Adjustment” section for belt replacement and adjustments

Verify that all wire terminal connections are tight

WARNING! Hazardous Chemicals! Coil cleaning agents can be either acidic or highly alkaline and can burn severely if contact with skin occurs. Handle chemical carefully and avoid contact with skin

ALWAYS wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including goggles or face shield, chemical resistant gloves, boots, apron or suit as required

For personal safety refer to the cleaning agent manufacturer’s Materials Safety Data Sheet and follow all recommended safe handling practices

Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in death or serious injury

Remove enough panels from the unit to gain access to the coil

Protect all electrical devices such as motors and controllers from any over spray

Straighten any bent coil fins with a fin comb

Mix the detergent with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If desired, heat the solution BUT DO NOT EXCEED 150oF maximum to improve its cleansing capability

WARNING! Hazardous Pressures! Coils contain refrigerant under pressure.When cleaning coils, maintain coil cleaning solution temperature under 150°F to avoid excessive pressure in the coil. Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in coil bursting, which could result in death or serious injury

WARNING! Hazardous Voltage! Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.

Turned the unit OFF and locked the main power disconnect switch open?

Inspected the return air filters?

Cleaned or replaced the filters if necessary?
