Trane Series R™ Helical Rotary Chiller RTWD100STD

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?

After the unit has operated for approximately 30 minutes and the system has stabilized, check the operating conditions and complete the procedures below:

Check evaporator and condenser pressures with gauges and compare to the reading on the unit chiller.

Pressure readings should fall within the specified ranges listed in Table 23, p. 65 and Table 24, p. 65. If chiller measurements vary significantly from values listed, problems may exist with refrigerant and oil charge levels. Contact local Trane service.

Note: Optimal condenser pressure is dependent on condenser water temperature, and should equal the saturation pressure of the refrigerant at a temperature 2 to 5°F above that of leaving condenser water at full load.

Sign off on the weekly maintenance check.

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:

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.
