Important Environmental Concerns!

Scientific research has shown that certain man-made
chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring strato-
spheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere.
In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may
affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlo-
rine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing
Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not
all refrigerants containing these compounds have the
same potential impact to the environment. Trane advo-
cates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-includ-
ing industry replacements for CFCs and HCFCs such as
HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!

X39003892001A
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are

important to the environment, our customers, and the
air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act
(Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling,
reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refriger-
ants and the equipment that is used in these service pro-
cedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may
have additional requirements that must also be adhered
to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the
applicable laws and follow them.

substitutes, or refrigerant additives.
Failure to follow proper procedures or the use of

non-approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or
refrigerant additives could result in death or serious
injury or equipment damage.

ASHRAE Standard 15 Compliance

Trane recommends that indoor CenTraVac unit installa-
tions fully meet or exceed the guidelines of the current
version of ASHRAE Standard 15, in addition to any appli-
cable local, state, or national requirements. This typically
includes:
• A refrigerant monitor or detector that is capable of
monitoring and alarming within the acceptable ex-
posure level of the refrigerant, and that can actuate
mechanical ventilation.
• Audible and visual alarms, activated by the refriger-
ant monitor, inside the equipment room and outside
of every entrance.
Note: The holding charge should register approximately

curred.
Each chiller ships from the factory as a hermetically
assembled package; it is factory piped, wired and test-
ed. All openings except for the waterbox vent and drain
holes are covered or plugged to prevent contamination
during shipment and handling. Figure 2, p. 11 shows
an illustration of a typical unit and its components. As
soon as the unit arrives at the job site, inspect it thor-
oughly for damage and material shortages. In addition:
1. Verify the hermetic integrity of the unit by checking
the evaporator pressure for an indication of holding
charge pressure.
2. To prevent damaging moisture from entering the
unit and causing corrosion, each chiller is pressurized
with 3 to 5 psig of dry nitrogen before shipment.

Note: Assure that the evaporator water piping is clear,
check it after the chilled water pump is operated
but before initial chiller start-up. If any partial
blockages exist, they can be detected and re-
moved to prevent possible tube damage resulting
from evaporator freeze-up or erosion.
Note: For condenser and large evaporator connections,
arrange the water piping so that the water supply
enters the shell at the lower connection, and exits
from the top connection. (Operational problems
may result if this is not obeyed) Some shells may
be piped as desired since both connections are at
the same level.
For applications that include an “infinite source” or
“multiple-use”, cooling condenser water supply, install a
valved bypass “leg” (optional) between the supply and
return pipes. This valved bypass allows the operator to
short-circuit water flow through the cooling condenser
when the supply water temperature is too low.
See CTV-PRB006-EN, Condenser Water Temperature
Control for CenTraVac Centrifugal Chiller Systems -
Engineering Bulletin, for additional application informa-
tion.
Note: System refrigerant pressure differential must be
maintained above 3 PSID (21 kPa) at all times.
Failure to do so could result in operating prob-
lems.
Note: Whenever a CVHE, CVHF, and CVHG unit is
equipped with an auxiliary condenser, use a
bypass valve system to avoid circulating water
through the auxiliary shell during unit shutdown.
Temperature and optimal water flow sensor
changes will also be required.

Adjusting the Tracer AdaptiView

Display Arm
The Tracer AdaptiView display arm may be too loose or
too tight and in need of adjustment. To adjust the tension
on the display arm:
1. 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 20). 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 ‘loos-
en’/‘tighten’, or ‘+’/’–’ indicators.
Figure 20. Joint locations on the display arm

3
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. To adjust the swivel of the Tracer AdaptiView display
(the spin right and left similar to the steering wheel
on a car), you need to adjust the hex bolt located
inside the display arm back plate. This adjustment
needs to be done BEFORE attaching the display. Use
a 9/16” or 14 mm wrench.
5. Use a 13 mm wrench to adjust the bolt (item labeled
4 in Figure 20) that allows the entire display arm to
swivel to the left and right.

Motor Terminals
Field provided ring type lugs, with no sharp edges or
corners, must be used by a qualified installer to con-
nect the power wiring to the motor terminals. Follow
all instructions provided with the field provided lugs to
ensure proper connections. The use of stress cones is
highly recommended to reduce and control longitudi-
nal and radial electrical stresses at the cable ends. Prior
to assembly the terminal stud, nuts, and lug should be
inspected and cleaned to ensure they are not damaged
or contaminated. When attaching starter leads to 2.3–6.6
kV motor terminals, the M14x2 brass jam nuts should be
tightened to a maximum torque of 32.5–40.7 N·m (24–30
ft·lb). Always use a second wrench to backup the assem-
bly and prevent applying excessive torque to the termi-
nal shaft.
Note:6.0kV and 6.6kV motors on 6800 or 6800L frames
(see compressor model number for motor frame) use
the same motor terminals as the 10kV–13.8kV motors.
The motor terminal has a copper shaft that is threaded
9/16” - 18 UNF2A. Brass nuts are provided on the motor
terminals to retain the lugs, and the final connection
should be tightened to 22–25 ft·lb (30–34 N·m). using a
7/8” (22 mm) socket on a torque wrench.
DDNOTICE
Motor Terminal Damage!
Do not apply torque to the motor terminal when
tightening lugs. Always use a second wrench to
back-up the assembly and prevent the application
of torque to the terminal shaft. Failure to follow this
instruction could cause equipment or property-only
damage.
Before beginning wiring and torquing, ensure proper
motor terminal care and do not apply any excess stress.
Ground Wire Terminal Lug

A ground wire lug is provided in the motor terminal box
to allow the field connection of an earth ground. The
lug will accept a field supplied ground wire of #8 to #2
AWG size. After the field connection of wiring is com-
plete inspect and clean the motor terminals and motor
housing, and remove any debris before reinstalling the
motor terminal box cover. The cover must be re-installed
onto the motor terminal box and all bolts installed. Do
not operate the chiller with the motor terminal box cover
removed or with any loose or missing cover bolts.

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 economiz-
er 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 28, p. 53). 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 assures a preferential supply of liquid. Re-
frigerant is delivered to the motor via the pump. Motor
refrigerant drain lines are routed to the condenser.

This section describes the basic chiller preventive main-
tenance procedures, and recommends the intervals at
which these procedures should be performed. Use of a
periodic maintenance program is important to ensure
the best possible performance and efficiency from a
CenTraVac chiller.
Recommended purge maintenance procedures for the
EarthWise Purge Operation and Maintenance manual
which can be obtained at the nearest Trane office.
For R-123 chillers, recommended purge maintenance
procedures are detailed in Operation and Maintenance

Record Keeping Forms

An important aspect of the chiller maintenance program
is the regular completion of records. Provided at the end
of this manual are copies of the recommended forms.
When filled out accurately by the machine operator, the
completed logs can be reviewed to identify any develop-
ing trends in the chiller’s operating conditions. For exam-
ple, if the machine operator notices a gradual increase
in condensing pressure during a month’s time, he can
systematically check, then correct the possible cause of
this condition.

replace the sensor. If the sensor is exposed to
temperature extremes outside its normal operat-
ing range (0°F to 90°F) (-18°C to 32°C), check its
accuracy at six- month intervals.
Inspect the condenser tubes for fouling; clean if
necessary.
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 proce-
dure is especially important if the system requires
frequent purging.
Every 3 years, use a nondestructive tube test to inspect the condenser and evaporator tubes.
Note: I t may be desirable to perform tube tests on these components at more frequent intervals, depending upon chiller application. This is espe-
cially true of critical process equipment.
Contact a qualified service organization to determine when to conduct a complete examination of the unit to discern the condition of the compres-
sor and internal components.
Note: ( a) Chronic air leaks, which can cause acidic conditions in the compressor oil and result in premature bearing wear; and, (b) Evaporator or
condenser water tube leaks. Water mixed with the compressor oil can result in bearing pitting, corrosion, or excessive wear

to any portion of the cylinder. Failure to follow these
safety precautions could result in a sudden rise of
pressure possibly resulting in a violent explosion
which could result in death or serious injury.
To leak-test a chiller containing full refrigerant charge,
raise chiller pressure using a controlled hot water or
electric-resistance system to a maximum of 8 psig. Do
not use nitrogen, which will cause excessive refrigerant
discharge by the purge system.

Heavy Objects!
Each of the individual cables (chains or slings) used
to lift the waterbox must be capable of supporting
the entire weight of the waterbox. The cables (chains
or slings) must be rated for overhead lifting applica-
tions with an acceptable working load limit. Failure
to properly lift waterbox could result in death or

Eyebolts!
The proper use and ratings for eyebolts can be found location location
in ANSI/ASME standard B18.15. Maximum load
rating for eyebolts are based on a straight vertical
lift in a gradually increasing manner. Angular lifts
will significantly lower maximum loads and should
be avoided whenever possible. Loads should always
be applied to eyebolts in the plane of the eye, not
at some angle to this plane. Failure to properly lift
waterbox could result in death or serious injury.
Review mechanical room limitations and determine the
safest method or methods of rigging and lifting the wa-
