Trane Series R™ Helical Rotary Chiller RTWD120STD

WARNING: Hazardous Voltage! Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury. Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Verify that no power is present with a voltmeter.

Shut down the chiller once each year to check the following:

CAUTION: Do not use untreated or improperly treated water, or equipment damage may occur.

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

Standard water applications will operate with less than a 10°F approach. If the approach exceeds 10°F cleaning the condenser tubes is recommended.

NOTE: Glycol in the water system typically doubles the standard approach.

If the annual condenser tube inspection indicates that the tubes are fouled, 2 cleaning methods can be used to rid the tubes of contaminants.

WARNING: Heavy Objects! Failure to properly lift waterbox could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Straight Vertical Lift Required! Failure to properly lift waterbox in straight vertical lift could cause the eyebolts to break which could result in death or serious injury from object dropping.

Review mechanical room limitations and determine the safest method or methods of rigging and lifting the waterboxes.

Clean all water strainers in both the chilled and condensing water piping systems

See “Refrigerant and Oil Charge Management,” p. 65. If chiller measurements vary significantly from values listed in Table 23, p. 65 and Table 24, p. 65, problems may exist with refrigerant and oil charge levels.

Contact local Trane service if measurements vary significantly

Use a nondestructive tube test to inspect the condenser and evaporator tubes at 3-year intervals.

NOTE: 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.

Depending on chiller duty, contact a qualified service organization to determine when to conduct a complete examination of the unit to determine the condition of the compressor and internal components.

Nondestructive tube test passed?

Once service is complete, the waterbox/ cover should be reinstalled following all previous procedures in reverse.

Are new o-rings or gaskets used on all joints after thoroughly cleaning each joint?

Contact local Trane parts center for information.

Are waterbox/cover bolts torqued?

Note: Torque bolts in a star pattern. See the table below for torque values.
