General Information
Unit Description
The RTWD units are helical-rotary type, water-cooled,
liquid chillers, designed for installation indoors.The units
have 2 independent refrigerant circuits, with one
compressor per circuit.The RTWD units are packaged with
an evaporator and condenser.
Note: Each RTWD unit is a completely assembled,
hermetic package that is factory-piped, wired, leak-
tested, dehydrated, charged and tested for proper
control operations prior to shipment.The chilled
water inlet and outlet openings are covered for
shipment.
The RTWD series featuresTrane's exclusive Adaptive
Control logic with CH530 controls. It monitors the control
variables that govern the operation of the chiller unit.
Adaptive Control logic can correct these variables, when
necessary, to optimize operational efficiencies, avoid
chiller shutdown, and keep producing chilled water.
Compressor unloaders are solenoid actuated. Each
refrigerant circuit is provided with filter, sight glass,
electronic expansion valve, and charging valves on the
RTWD.
The evaporator and condenser are manufactured in
accordance with ASME standards.The evaporator is fully
insulated. Both evaporator and condenser are equipped
with water drain and vent connections.
The RTUD units are helical-rotary type compressor
chillers, designed to be most effective when used with the
Levitor II air-cooled condenser.The RTUD unit consists of
an evaporator, two helical rotary compressors (one per
circuit), oil separators, oil coolers, liquid line service
valves, sightglasses, electronic expansion valves and
filter.The discharge line leaving the oil separator and
liquid line entering the filters are capped and brazed. The
unit ships with a full charge of oil and a nitrogen holding
charge.
Accessory/Options Information
Check all the accessories and loose parts which are
shipped with the unit against the original order. Included
in these items will be water vessel drain plugs, rigging
diagrams, electrical diagrams, and service literature,
which are placed inside the control panel and/or starter
panel for shipment. Also check for optional components,
such as flow switches and isolators.

Operating Principles
Compressor
A two-pole, hermetic, induction motor (3600 rpm at 60 hz,
3000 rpm at 50hz) directly drives the compressor rotors.
The motor is cooled by suction refrigerant gas from the
evaporator, entering the end of the motor housing through
the suction line.
Oil Management
The unit is configured with an oil management system that
ensures proper oil circulation throughout the unit.The key
components of the system include an oil separator, oil
filter, oil sump and oil sump heater. An optional oil cooler
is installed when the unit is used for high condensing
temperature or low evaporator temperature conditions.

Important: A copy of this completed form must be submitted to theTrane service agency that will be responsible for the start-
up of the chiller. Start-up will NOT proceed unless applicable items listed in this form have been satisfactorily
completed. See unit IOM RLC-SVX09*-EN for detailed installation instructions.
Important: Start-up must be performed byTrane or an agent ofTrane specifically authorized to perform start-up ofTrane®
products. Contractor shall provideTrane (or an agent ofTrane specifically authorized to perform start-up) with
notice of the scheduled start-up at least two weeks prior to the scheduled start-up.
