Trane Series R™ Helical Rotary Chiller RTAC250X

1. Perform all weekly and monthly procedures.

2. Check oil sump oil level while unit is off.

NOTE: Routine changing of the oil is not required. Use an oil analysis to determine the condition of the oil.

3. Have a qualified laboratory perform a compressor oil analysis to determine sys-tem moisture content and acid level. This analysis is a valuable diagnostic tool.

4. Contact a qualified service organization to leak test the chiller, to check operating and safety controls, and to inspect electrical components for deficiencies.

5. Inspect all piping components for leakage and damage. Clean out any inline strainers.

6. Clean and repaint any areas that show signs of corrosion.

While unit is running in stable conditions.

Check MP pressure for evaporator, condenser and intermediate oil.

Observe liquid line sight glass on EXV.

If liquid line sight glass has bubbles measure the subcooling entering the EXV. The subcooling should never be less than 4 °F under any circumstances.

A clear sightglass alone does not mean that the system is properly charged. Also check the rest of the system operating conditions.

Inspect the entire system for unusual conditions and inspect the condenser coils for dirt and debris. If the coils are dirty, refer to coil cleaning.

Sign off on the weekly maintenance

Suction line isolation valve is closed

Oil return line service valve is closed

Liquid line service valve is closed

Refrigerant moved from the condenser to evaporator using a liquid pump or vacuum pump

NOTE: If a pump is to be used, connect it before closing this valve. This port is only isolated when the valve is back seated. If a vacuum pump is used, then connect it to the discharge line service valve near the oil separator.

Evaporator is large enough to hold all the charge for any unit to below the center-line of the shell

Sign off on the Low Side Charge Isolation procedure

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Temperature downstream of the filter is 8°F (4.4°C) lower than the upstream temperature?

Liquid line isolation valve is closed?

Ball valve on oil cooler liquid line is closed?

Upload a photo of the attached hose to service port on liquid line filter flange.

Refrigerant from liquid line evacuated and stored?

Proper oil and refrigerant charge is essential for proper unit operation, unit perfor-mance, and environmental protection. Only trained and licensed service personnal should service the chiller.

Some symptoms of a refrigerant under-charged unit:

• Higher than normal discharge superheat

• Larger than normal evaporator approach temperatures (leaving water temperature - saturated evaporator temperature)

• Low evaporator refrigerant temperature limit

• Low refrigerant temperature cutout diagnostic
