Water Piping Connections Figure 14. Typical grooved pipe connection

All standard units use grooved-pipe connections. These
are grooved-end NSP (Victaulic style) pipe connections.
Flanged connections are optional.
Piping joined using grooved type couplings, like all types
of piping systems, requires proper support to carry the
weight of pipes and equipment. The support methods
used must eliminate undue stresses on joints, piping and
other components; allow movement where required, and
provide for any other special requirements (i.e., drainage,
etc.).
Note: Plug-type sensor extension cables are available for
purchase from Trane Parts Service if needed. These
sensor extension cables may be necessary if the
waterboxes are changed or if the temperature
sensors are moved out into the unit piping for
better mixed temperature readings.

Adjusting the Tracer AdaptiView

Display Arm
The Tracer AdaptiView display arm may become too loose
or too tight and need adjustment. There are three joints on
the display arm that allow the Tracer AdaptiView display to
be positioned at a variety of heights and angles (refer to
items labeled 1, 2, and 3 in Figure 28).
To adjust the tension on the display arm:
• At each joint in the display arm, there is either a hex
bolt (1 and 2) or hex screw (3). Turn the hex bolt or
screw in the proper direction to increase or decrease
tension.
Note: Each hex bolt or screw is labeled with loosen/
tighten or +/- indicators.
Figure 28. Joint locations on the display arm
2 3
• Joint 3 has a 6 mm hex screw controlling the tension

on a gas spring, which allows the Tracer AdaptiView
display to tilt up and down.
• Joints 1 and 2 are covered by a plastic cap. Remove the
plastic cap to access the hex bolt. Adjust using a 13 mm
wrench as necessary.
• To adjust the swivel rotation tension of the Tracer
AdaptiView display, adjust the hex bolt located in the
support arm base plate, as described in Step 8 in
“Installing the Tracer AdaptiView Display,” p. 41. This
adjustment must be done prior to attaching the Tracer
AdaptiView display to the support arm base. Use a
14 mm wrench to adjust the tension.

below the bottom sight glass to near the top of the
upper sight glass.
Liquid refrigerant is used to cool the oil supply to both the
thrust bearing and journal bearings. On refrigerant pump
units the oil cooler is located inside the economizer and
uses refrigerant passing from the condenser to evaporator
to cool the oil. Oil leaves the oil cooler and flows to both
the thrust and journal bearings.
Motor Cooling System

Compressor motors are cooled with liquid refrigerant (see
Figure 36, p. 58). The refrigerant pump is located on the
front of the oil tank (motor inside the oil tank). The
refrigerant pump inlet is connected to the well at the
bottom of the condenser. The connection is on the side
where a weir ensures a preferential supply of liquid
refrigerant. Refrigerant is delivered to the motor via the
pump. An in-line filter is installed (replace the in-line filter
only with major service). Motor refrigerant drain lines are
routed to the condenser.

Inspect the condenser tubes for fouling; clean if
necessary.
Inspect and clean the ifm efector® flow detection
sensors. Use Scotch-Brite® or other non-abrasive
material to clean scale; do NOT use steel wool,
which could cause the probe to rust.
Submit a sample of the compressor oil to a Trane-
qualified laboratory for comprehensive analysis.
Measure the compressor motor winding resistance
to ground; a qualified service technician should
conduct this check to ensure that the findings are
properly interpreted. Contact a qualified service
organization to leak-test the chiller; this
procedure is especially important if the system
requires frequent purging.
(a) Every three years, use a nondestructive tube test to inspect the condenser and evaporator tubes. 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.
(b) Contact a qualified service organization to determine when to conduct a complete examination of the unit to discern the condition of the compressor
and internal components. Check the following: chronic air leaks (which can cause acidic conditions in the compressor oil and result in premature bearing
wear) and evaporator or condenser water tube leaks (water mixed with the compressor oil can result in bearing pitting, corrosion, or excessive wear).

• Verify nitrogen holding charge.
• Calibrate the high pressure cutout control (HPC).
• Meg compressor motor.
• Confirm proper oil pump operation.
• Evacuate unit.
• Check condenser installation.
• Check evaporator installation.
NOTICE:
Do Not Apply Electrical Power to a Unit in a Vacuum!
Failure to disconnect power to units with inside-the-delta solid state starters during evacuation or when the unit is in
a deep vacuum could cause compressor motor damage. Applying electrical power to a motor in a vacuum could
cause damage to the motor. In addition, on units with inside-the-delta solid state starters, all power to the unit must
be disconnected prior to evacuating the unit as line power is directly applied to the motor terminals 4, 5, and 6.
• Check electrical and controls.

– Inspect motor starter and control panel.
– Confirm all wiring connections are tight, free of abrasion and have no sharp bends in panel and on compressors.
– Inspect contactors and relays.
