Trane Series R™ Helical Rotary Chiller RTAC350S

Ensure enough space around the outdoor unit for unrestricted access to all service points.

Enter the unit dimensions as per submittal drawings

Is there a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) clearance for compressor service?

Is there sufficient clearance for the opening of control panel doors?

Ensure unobstructed flow of condenser air to maintain chiller capacity and operating efficiency.

Is there sufficient flow of air across the condenser heat transfer surface?

Is there any warm air recirculation or coil starvation?

Ensure no debris, trash, supplies etc. accumulate in the vicinity of the unit.

Is the condenser coil free of debris?

This procedure should be followed when adding charge to an undercharged unit. When low charge is indicated by low subcooling in the liquid line, charge should be added until sufficient subcooling is achieved.

1. Attach charging hose to evaporator service valve (3/8” (9mm) flare). Open service valve.

2. Add 10 pounds of refrigerant (R-134a) charge.

3. Close valve, remove charging hose and start unit. Monitor subcooling.

4. If subcooling is still insufficient, return to step #1.

NOTE: Proper subcooling can be determined from run log history, service experience, or by contacting Trane technical service.;

Isolate the refrigerant charge outside of the compressor and close all four valves leading to the compressor?

Disconnect power to the chiller. Remove the electrical junction box cover and disconnect the wires?

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.

Evacuate the compressor through the service fitting provided. If the unit does not have suction service valves, this will include evacuating the low side of the system as well. Disconnect all four lines attached to the compressor, as well as the junction box. Remove three screws from the bottom of the compressor?

Remove the compressor by sliding it out of the chiller onto a well supported skid or other platform. The compressor is very heavy, so insure that the support is sturdy. A piece of 1x4 lumber placed between the isolators works well to support the compressor feet as it is pulled from the chiller?

Install the new compressor. Reinstall all lines, wires, and screws. Open the service valves, and trim charge as required?
