Application Considerations
Certain application constraints should be considered when sizing, selecting, and installing Trane
chillers. Unit and system reliability is often dependent on properly and completely complying
with these considerations. When the application varies from the guidelines presented, it should
be reviewed with your local sales engineer.
N o t e : The terms water and solution are used interchangeably in the following paragraphs.
Unit Sizing
Intentionally oversizing a unit to ensure adequate capacity is not recommended. Erratic system
operation and excessive compressor cycling are often a direct result of an oversized chiller. In
addition, an oversized unit is usually more expensive to purchase, install, and operate. If
oversizing is desired, consider using two units.
Water Treatment
The use of untreated or improperly treated water may result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, and
algae or slime buildup. This will adversely affect heat transfer between the water and system
components. Proper water treatment must be determined locally and depends on the type of
system and local water characteristics.
Neither salt nor brackish water is recommended for use in Trane air-cooled chillers. Use of either
will lead to a shortened life. Trane encourages the employment of a qualified water treatment
specialist, familiar with local water conditions, to assist in the establishment of a proper water
treatment program.
Foreign matter in the chilled water system can also increase pressure drop and, consequently,
reduce water flow. For this reason it is important to thoroughly flush all water piping to the unit
before making the final piping connections to the unit.
Ambient Limitations
Trane chillers are designed for year-round operation over a range of ambient temperatures. For
operation outside of these ranges, contact the local sales office.
• Standard Ambient Range = 14 to 115°F (-10 to 46°C)
• Low Ambient Range = -4 to 115°F (-20 to 46°C)
• High Ambient Range = 14 to 130°F (-10 to 54.4°C)
• Wide Ambient Range = -4 to 130°F (-20 to 54.4°C)
The minimum ambient temperatures are based on still conditions (winds not exceeding five
mph). Greater wind speeds will result in a drop in head pressure, therefore increasing the
minimum starting and operating ambient temperature. The Adaptive Frequency™
microprocessor will attempt to keep the chiller on-line when high or low ambient conditions
exist, making every effort to avoid nuisance trip-outs and provide the maximum allowable
tonnage.
8 RLC-PRC049G-EN
Application Considerations
The maximum evaporator water flow rate is also given in General Data. Flow rates exceeding
those listed may result in very high pressure drop across the evaporator and/or excessive tube
erosion.
N o t e : Flow rates in the general data tables are for water only. The do not include freeze inhibitors.

Flow Proving
Trane provides a factory-installed water flow switch monitored by UC800 which protects the
chiller from operating in loss of flow conditions.
Flow Control
Trane requires the chilled water flow control in conjunction with the Sintesis™ Chiller to be done
by the chiller. This will allow the chiller to protect itself in potentially harmful conditions.
Water Temperature
Leaving Water Temperature Limits
Trane Sintesis™chillers have three distinct leaving water categories:
• Standard, with a leaving solution range of 40 to 68°F (4.4 to 20°C)
• Low temperature process cooling, with leaving solution less than 40°F (4.4°C)
• Ice-making, with a leaving solution range of 10.4 to 68°F (-12 to 20°C)
Since leaving solution temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C) result in suction temperature at or below
the freezing point of water, a glycol solution is required for all low temperature and ice-making
machines. Ice making control includes dual setpoints and safeties for ice making and standard
cooling capabilities. Consult your local Trane account manager for applications or selections
involving low temperature or ice making machines.
The maximum water temperature that can be circulated through the evaporator when the unit is
not operating is 125°F (52°C). Evaporator damage may result above this temperature.

Application Considerations
Series chiller arrangements can be controlled in several ways. The figure below shows a strategy
where each chiller is trying to achieve the system design set point. If the cooling load is less than
50 percent of the systems capabilities, either chiller can fulfill the demand. As system loads
increase, the Chiller 2 becomes preferentially loaded as it attempts to meet the leaving chilled
water setpoint. Chiller 1 will finish cooling the leaving water from Chiller 2 down to the system
design setpoint.
Staggering the chiller set points is another control technique that works well for preferentially
loading Chiller 1. If the cooling load is less than 50 percent of the system capacity, Chiller 1 would
be able to satisfy the entire call for cooling. As system loads increase, Chiller 2 is started to meet
any portion of the load that Chiller 1 can not meet.

Application Considerations
Free-Cooling
The free-cooling option takes advantage of operation during cooler ambient air temperature,
which becomes attractive due to the ability to reduce energy consumption. The use of
economizers, as a positive side effect, helps lessen wear and tear of the chilled water production
plant while lowering the operating cost. This application is particularly well suited for
applications with high sensible loads and/or continuous cooling loads throughout the year.
Unit Placement
Setting The Unit
A base or foundation is not required if the selected unit location is level and strong enough to
support the unit’s operating weights shown in Weights chapter.
For a detailed discussion of base and foundation construction, see the sound engineering
bulletin or the unit Installation, Operation or Maintenance (IOM) manual. Manuals are available
through online product portal pages or from your local office.
HVAC equipment must be located to minimize sound and vibration transmission to the occupied
spaces of the building structure it serves. If the equipment must be located in close proximity to a
building, it should be placed next to an unoccupied space such as a storage room, mechanical
room, etc. It is not recommended to locate the equipment near occupied, sound sensitive areas
of the building or near windows. Locating the equipment away from structures will also prevent
sound reflection, which can increase sound levels at property lines or other sensitive points.

Application Considerations

Power Wiring
Neoprene Isolators
Flex Conduit,
Power Wiring
Concrete Base
For maximum isolation effect, water lines and electrical conduit should also be isolated. Wall
sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers can be used to reduce sound transmitted through
water piping. To reduce the sound transmitted through electrical conduit, use flexible electrical
conduit.
Local codes on sound emissions should always be considered. Since the environment in which a
sound source is located affects sound pressure, unit placement must be carefully evaluated.
Sound power levels for chillers are available on request.
Servicing
Adequate clearance for evaporator, condenser and compressor servicing should be provided.
Recommended minimum space envelopes for servicing are located in the dimensional data
section and can serve as a guideline for providing adequate clearance. The minimum space
envelopes also allow for control panel door swing and routine maintenance requirements. Local
code requirements may take precedence.
Unit Location
General
Unobstructed flow of condenser air is essential to maintain chiller capacity and operating
efficiency. When determining unit placement, careful consideration must be given to assure a
sufficient flow of air across the condenser heat transfer surface. Two detrimental conditions are
possible and must be avoided: warm air recirculation and coil starvation. Air recirculation occurs
when discharge air from the condenser fans is recycled back to the condenser coil inlet. Coil
starvation occurs when free airflow to the condenser is restricted.
Condenser coils and fan discharge must be kept free of snow or other obstructions to permit
adequate airflow for satisfactory unit operation. Debris, trash, supplies, etc., should not be
allowed to accumulate in the vicinity of the air-cooled chiller. Supply air movement may draw
debris into the condenser coil, blocking spaces between coil fins and causing coil starvation.
Both warm air recirculation and coil starvation cause reductions in unit efficiency and capacity
due to higher head pressures. The air-cooled chiller offers an advantage over competitive
equipment in these situations. Operation is minimally affected in many restricted air flow
situations due to its advanced Adaptive Control™ microprocessor which has the ability to
understand the operating environment of the chiller and adapt to it by first optimizing its
performance and then staying on line through abnormal conditions. For example, high ambient
temperatures combined with a restricted air flow situation will generally not cause the air-cooled
chiller to shut down. Other chillers would typically shut down on a high pressure nuisance cut-
out in these conditions.
RLC-PRC049G-EN 13
Application Considerations
Cross winds, those perpendicular to the condenser, tend to aid efficient operation in warmer
ambient conditions. However, they tend to be detrimental to operation in lower ambients due to
the accompanying loss of adequate head pressure. Special consideration should be given to low
ambient units. As a result, it is advisable to protect air-cooled chillers from continuous direct
winds exceeding 10 mph (4.5 m/s) in low ambient conditions.
The recommended lateral clearances are depicted in the Close-Spacing and Restricted Airflow
Engineering Bulletin AC-PRB001*-EN available on product portal pages or from your local office.

Controls
Tracer UC800 Controller
Trane Sintesis™ chillers offer predictive controls that anticipate and compensate for load
changes. Other control strategies made possible with the Tracer® UC800 controls are:
Soft Loading
The chiller controller uses soft loading except during manual operation. Large adjustments due
to load or setpoint changes are made gradually, preventing the compressor from cycling
unnecessarily. It does this by internally filtering the setpoints to avoid reaching the differential-to-
stop or the demand limit. Soft loading applies to the leaving chilled-water temperature and
demand limit setpoints.
Adaptive Controls
Adaptive Controls directly sense the control variables that govern the operation of the chiller:
evaporator pressure and condenser pressure. When any one of these variables approaches a
limit condition when damage may occur to the unit or shutdown on a safety, Adaptive Controls
takes corrective action to avoid shutdown and keep the chiller operating. This happens through
combined actions of compressor and/or fan staging. Whenever possible, the chiller is allowed to
continue making chilled water. This keeps cooling capacity available until the problem can be
solved. Overall, the safety controls help keep the building or process running and out of trouble.
Rapid Restart
A Rapid Restart™ is performed after a momentary power loss occurs during operation.
Similarly, if the chiller shuts down on a non-latching diagnostic and the diagnostic later clears
itself, a Rapid Restart™ will be initiated.
AdaptiSpeed Control
Compressor speed is used to control capacity of the chiller, optimizing mathematically with the
condenser fan speed to provide the highest level of performance. The increased performance of
the UC800 Controller allows the chiller to operate longer at higher efficiency, and with greater
stability.

Tracer TU Interface
Tracer® TU (non-Trane personnel, contact your local Trane office for software) adds a level of
sophistication that improves service technician effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime.
The portable PC-based service-tool software, Tracer® TU, supports service and maintenance
tasks.
Tracer® TU serves as a common interface to all Trane® chillers, and will customize itself based
on the properties of the chiller with which it is communicating. Thus, the service technician
learns only one service interface.
The panel bus is easy to troubleshoot using LED sensor verification. Only the defective device is
replaced. Tracer® TU can communicate with individual devices or groups of devices.
All chiller status, machine configuration settings, customizable limits, and up to 100 active or
historic diagnostics are displayed through the service-tool software interface.
LEDs and their respective Tracer® TU indicators visually confirm the availability of each
connected sensor, relay, and actuator.
Tracer® TU is designed to run on a customer’s laptop, connected to the Tracer® AdaptiView™
TD7 control panel with a USB cable. Your laptop must meet the following hardware and software
requirements:
• 1 GB RAM (minimum)
• 1024 x 768 screen resolution
• CD-ROM drive
• Ethernet 10/100 LAN card
• An available USB 2.0 port
• Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional operation system with Service Pack 3 (SP3) or
Windows® 7 Enterprise or Professional operating system (32-bit or 64-bit)

Controls
System Integration
Stand-Alone Controls
Single chillers installed in applications without a building management system are simple to
install and control: only a remote auto/stop for scheduling is required for unit operation. Signals
from the chilled-water pump contactor auxiliary, or a flow switch, are wired to the chilled-water
flow interlock. Signals from a time clock or some other remote device are wired to the external
auto/stop input.
• Auto/Stop - A job-site provided contact closure turns the unit on and off.
• Emergency Stop - A job-site provided contact opening wired to this input turns the unit off
and requires a manual reset of the unit microcomputer. This closure is typically triggered by a
job-site provided system such as a fire alarm.
Hardwire Points
Microcomputer controls allow simple interface with other control systems, such as time clocks,
building automation systems, and ice storage systems via hardwire points. This means you have
the flexibility to meet job requirements while not having to learn a complicated control system.
Remote devices are wired from the control panel to provide auxiliary control to a building
automation system. Inputs and outputs can be communicated via a typical 4–20 mA electrical
signal, an equivalent 2–10 Vdc signal, or by utilizing contact closures.
This setup has the same features as a stand-alone water chiller, with the possibility of having
additional optional features:
RLC-PRC049G-EN 23
Controls
BACnet Interface
Tracer® AdaptiView™ control can be configured for BACnet® communications at the factory or
in the field. This enables the chiller controller to communicate on a BACnet® MS/TP network.
Chiller setpoints, operating modes, alarms, and status can be monitored and controlled through
BACnet®.
Tracer® AdaptiView™ controls conform to the BACnet® B-ASC profile as defined by
ASHRAE 135-2004.
Modbus Interface
Tracer® AdaptiView™ control can be configured for Modbus™ communications at the factory or
in the field. This enables the chiller controller to communicate as a slave device on a Modbus™
network. Chiller setpoints, operating modes, alarms, and status can be monitored and controlled
by a Modbus™ master device.
® SC
Tracer®
The Tracer® SC system controller acts as the central coordinator for all individual equipment
devices on a Tracer® building automation system. The Tracer® SC scans all unit controllers to
update information and coordinate building control, including building subsystems such as VAV
and chiller water systems. With this system option, the full breadth of Trane’s HVAC and controls
experience are applied to offer solutions to many facility issues. The LAN allows building
operators to manage these varied components as one system from any personal computer with
web access. The benefits of this system are:
• Improved usability with automatic data collection, enhanced data logging, easier to create
graphics, simpler navigation, pre-programmed scheduling, reporting, and alarm logs.
• Flexible technology allows for system sizes from 30 to 120 unit controllers with any
combination of LonTalk® or BACnet® unit controllers.
• LEED certification through site commissioning report, energy data collection measurement,
optimizing energy performance, and maintaining indoor air quality.
Energy savings programs include: fan pressure optimization, ventilation reset, and chiller plant
control (adds and subtracts chillers to meet cooling loads).

Controls
chillers, pumps, isolating valves, air handlers, and terminal units. Trane can undertake full
responsibility for optimized automation and energy management for the entire chiller plant. The
main functions are:
• C h i l l e r s e q u e n c i n g : equalizes the number of running hours of the chillers. Different control
strategies are available depending on the configuration of the installation.
• C o n t r o l o f t h e a u x i l i a r i e s : includes input/output modules to control the operation of the
various auxiliary equipment (water pumps, valves, etc.)
• T i m e - o f - d a y s c h e d u l i n g : allows the end user to define the occupancy period, for example:
time of the day, holiday periods and exception schedules.
• O p t i m i z a t i o n o f t h e i n s t a l l a t i o n s t a r t / s t o p t i m e : based on the programmed schedule of
occupancy and the historical temperature records. Tracer SC calculates the optimal start/stop
time of the installation to get the best compromise between energy savings and comfort of
the occupants.
• S o f t l o a d i n g : the soft loading function minimizes the number of chillers that are operated to
satisfy a large chilled-water-loop pull down, thus preventing an overshoot of the actual
capacity required. Unnecessary starts are avoided and the peak current demand is lowered.
• C o m m u n i c a t i o n c a p a b i l i t i e s : local, through a PC workstation keyboard. Tracer® Summit
and Tracer® SC can be programmed to send messages to other local or remote workstations
and or a pager in the following cases:
– Analog parameter exceeding a programmed value
– Maintenance warning
– Component failure alarm
– Critical alarm messages. In this latter case, the message is displayed until the operator
acknowledges the receipt of the information. From the remote station it is also possible to
access and modify the chiller plants control parameters.
• R e m o t e c o m m u n i c a t i o n t h r o u g h a m o d e m : as an option, a modem can be connected to
communicate the plant operation parameters through voice grade phone lines. A remote
terminal is a PC workstation equipped with a modem and software to display the remote
plant parameters.

Mechanical Specifications
General
Units are leak tested (350 psig high side/200 psig low side), pressure tested (385 psig high side/
220 psig low side), then evacuated and charged. All chillers are factory tested prior to shipment.
Packaged units ship with a full operating charge of oil and refrigerant as standard. Units can also
be shipped with a nitrogen charge if required. Unit panels, structural elements and control boxes
are constructed of galvanized steel and mounted on a bolted galvanized steel base. Unit panels,
control boxes and the structural base are finished with a baked on powder paint.
Refrigerant Circuit
Each unit has two refrigerant circuits, with one or two rotary screw compressors per circuit. Each
refrigerant circuit includes compressor suction and discharge service valves, liquid line shut off
valve, removable core filter, liquid line sight glass with moisture indicator, charging port, high
pressure and low pressure safety valve and electronic expansion valve. Fully modulating
compressor and electronic expansion valve provide variable capacity modulation over the entire
operating range.
Evaporator
The evaporator is a tube-in-shell heat exchanger design with internally and externally finned
copper tubes roller expanded into the tube sheets. The evaporator is designed, tested and
stamped in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII for a
refrigerant side working pressure of 200 psig. The evaporator is designed for a water side
working pressure of 150 psig.
N o t e : When free-cooling option is selected, water side working pressure is 90 psig.
Waterboxes are provided in a 2–pass configuration on units up to a nominal size of 250 tons.
Evaporators for 280 to 500 ton units utilize a 1-pass configuration. Each waterbox includes a vent,
a drain and fittings for temperature control sensors.
Standard water connections are grooved for victaulic style pipe couplings, with groove to flange
style adapters available. Evaporators are insulated with 0.75 inch closed cell insulation.
Evaporator water heaters with thermostat are provided to help protect the evaporator from
freezing at ambient temperatures down to -4°F (-20°C).
N o t e : A separate field supplied low voltage power source is required to power the evaporator
freeze protection.
A factory installed flow switch is installed on the supply water box in the evaporator inlet
connection.
RLC-PRC049G-EN 61
Mechanical Specifications
Unit Controls
All unit controls are housed in an outdoor rated weather tight enclosure per UL2014 with
removable plates to allow for customer connection of power wiring and remote interlocks. All
controls, including sensors, are factory mounted and tested prior to shipment.
Microcomputer controls provide all control functions including startup and shut down, leaving
chilled water temperature control, evaporator flow proving, compressor staging and speed
control, electronic expansion valve modulation, condenser fan sequencing and speed control,
anti-recycle logic, automatic lead/lag compressor starting, load limiting and chilled water pump
control.
Tracer UC800
The Tracer® UC800 unit control module, utilizing Adaptive Control™ microprocessor,
automatically takes action to avoid unit shut-down due to abnormal operating conditions
associated with low refrigerant pressure, high condensing pressure, and motor current overload.
Should the abnormal operating condition continue until a protective limit is violated, the unit will
be shut down.
Unit protective functions of the UC800 include: low evaporator refrigerant pressure, high
condenser refrigerant pressure, low oil flow, critical sensor or detection circuit faults, current
overload, high compressor discharge temperature, communications lost between modules,
electrical distribution faults, phase loss, phase imbalance, phase reversal, external and
emergency stop, momentary power loss, under/over voltage and loss of evaporator water flow.
UC800 provides an optional flexible alarm or chiller status indication to a remote location
through a hard wired interface to a dry contact closure. Four relays are available for this function.

Application Options
Free-Cooling
The free-cooling option delivers optimal performance by minimizing compressor operation when
outdoor air temperatures are low enough to assist in cooling the chilled fluid loop.
Notes:
• When free-cooling option is selected, water side working pressure is 90 psig.
• Glycol solution must be utilized with the direct free-cooling option. The glycol solution
requires an inhibitor package to be carefully chosen and maintained with the aid of a
qualified water treatment specialist to protect the mixed metal system.
Ice Making
The ice making option provides special control logic to handle low temperature brine
applications (less than 40°F [4.4°C] leaving evaporator temperature) for thermal storage
applications.
Low Ambient
The low ambient option adds unit controls to allow start and operation when the unit works with
ambient temperatures between 14°F(-10°C) and -4°F (-20°C). High side of ambient range remains
at 115°F (46°C).
High Ambient
The high ambient option adds unit controls, oil coolers and oversized electrical components to
allow start and operation up to ambient temperatures of 130°F(54.4°C) operation. Low side of
ambient range remains at 14°F (-10°C).
Evaporator Turbulators
Turbulators will be installed internal to the tubes to promote turbulent flow for the following:
• Glycol solutions
• Low flow/high evaporator temperature deltas
