The RTWA/RTUA series features Trane's exclusive Adaptive Control logic with Clear Language Display. 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.

Installation - Mechanical Figure 19 Typical Well (city) Water Piping Components for Condenser Water Circuit Figure 20 Typical Cooling Tower Water Piping Components for Condenser Water Circuit Water Regulations Valve (for RTWA Units Only) The water regulating valve maintains condensing pressure and temperature by throttling water flow leaving the condenser in response to compressor discharge pressure on the RTWA.
Page 40
Installation - Mechanical Typically, two regulating valves will be required in parallel, each one responding to the refrigerant pressure in its corresponding condenser. Install the valves on the condenser leaving water line. The valves should be located after the thermometer and before the shutoff valve. Refer to Figure 21. Run the capillary tubing from the valve to the discharge service valve and attach it to the non-stem end of the discharge valve access port.
Installation - Mechanical coupling and tighten securely by turning the hex nut, on the fitting body only. CAUTION Equipment Damage! Do not tighten the clamping nut at this time. This will prevent proper sensor insertion. 3. Insert the sensor into the compression fitting (through the clamping nut) until the plastic coating on the sensor contacts the top of the clamping nut.
Page 43
Installation - Mechanical CAUTION Equipment Damage! To prevent capacity reduction and relief valve damage, do not exceed vent piping code specifications. Relief valve discharge setpoints are 450 psig. Once the relief valve has opened, it will reclose when pressure is reduced to a safe level. Pipe each relief valve on the unit into a common vent line.
Installation - Mechanical CAUTION Equipment Damage! To prevent capacity reduction and relief valve damage, do not exceed vent piping code specifications.

Figures for details. Refrigerant Sensors If a Trane RTCA condenser is used with the RTUA unit, no sensors need to be field installed. If a non-RTCA condenser is used, an outdoor ambient temperature sensor and a saturated condenser temperature sensor must be installed for the RTUA to control properly.
Page 55
Installation - Remote Condenser NOTE: Failure to properly mount and insulate the saturated condensing refrigerant temperature sensor could cause poor control and/or possible compressor damage. If the sensor cannot be located at the point where the saturated gas enters the subcooler, locate the sensor closer to the subcooler rather than the condenser discharge gas.

Operating Principles RTUA With RTCA Cycle Description Figure 36 represents the refrigeration system and control components in a system comprised of an RTUA and an RTCA. Vaporized refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is drawn into the compressor. Here it is compressed and leaves the compressor as a mixture of hot gas and oil (which was injected during the compression cycle).
Operating Principles Compressor Rotors The compressor is a semi-hermetic, direct-drive helical rotary type compressor. Each compressor has two rotors - “male” and “female” - which provide compression. See Figure 37. The male rotor is attached to, and driven by, the motor, and the female rotor is, in turn, driven by the male rotor. Separately housed bearing sets are provided at each end of both rotors.
Page 88
Operating Principles As the oil leaves the separator, it passes through the oil cooler. It then goes through the service valve and filter. At this point it travels through the master oil valve. Then it splits to feed the male load/unload solenoid valves and to provide oil injection and bearing lubrication.
Page 89
Operating Principles the outside air temperature sensor, the saturated condensing refrigerant temperature sensor, and the saturated evaporator refrigerant temperature sensor are monitored to determine fan staging. The number of fans activated at startup is dependant upon the outdoor air temperature. Figure 38 shows fan activation at different temperatures.

Controls Interface Operational Features Entering Evaporator Water Temperature When one or both compressors are running, the UCM continually monitors and compares the entering and leaving evaporator water temperatures. If the temperature of the entering water drops more than 2 F below the leaving water temperature for more than 100 degree F seconds, the UCM uses this to indicate a loss of water flow through the evaporator.
Page 114
Controls Interface Current Overload Protection The UCM continually monitors compressor current to provide unit protection in the event of an overcurrent or locked rotor condition. Protection is based on the phase with the highest current and, if limits are exceeded, the UCM will shutdown the compressor and will display an MMR diagnostic.

Controls Interface Leaving Water Temperature Cutout This temperature cutout provides protection against freezing caused by low leaving water temperature. The setpoint is both factory set and adjustable from the Service Settings Menu.

The services of a qualified water treatment specialist should be engaged to determine what treatment, if any, is advisable. The Trane Company warranty specifically excludes liability of corrosion, erosion or deterioration of Trane equipment. Trane assumes no responsibilities for the results of the use of untreated or improperly treated water or saline or brackish water.
Pre-Start Checkout Voltage to the unit must meet the criteria given in Table 16. Measure each leg of the supply voltage at the unit's main power fused-disconnect. If the measured voltage on any leg is not within specified range, notify the supplier of the power and correct the situation before operating the unit.
Page 125
Pre-Start Checkout This direction may be reversed outside the alternator by interchanging any two of the line wires. It is this possible interchange of wiring that makes a phase sequence indicator necessary if the operator is to quickly determine the phase rotation of the motor. Proper compressor motor electrical phasing can be quickly determined and corrected before starting the unit.

Periodic Maintenance Perform all maintenance procedures and inspections at the recommended intervals. This will prolong the life of the equipment and minimize the possi- bility of costly failures. Use an “Operator's Log”to record an operating history for the unit. The log serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for service personnel.

Maintenance Figure 44 System Oil Level Specifications Oil Filter Change NOTE: Routine changing of the oil or the oil filter is not recommended. The oil filter is oversized for this application and should not require replacement. The oil and filter should be replaced only if analysis reveals that the oil is contaminated.

Maintenance WARNING Components Under High Pressure! Failure to relieve pressure before removing filter retaining bolt could result in death or serious injury 5. Remove the seven bolts on the oil filter cover. A pan may be necessary to catch any oil that is released after the cover is loosened. NOTE: Observe the placement of the copper gasket under one bolt head.

Maintenance NOTE: Insure that this step is performed before Step 15, as this will insure that the oil filter housing is full of oil before the compressor is started. 15. Backseat the suction and discharge service valves. 16. Remove the manifold gauge set. 35 &...
Refrigerant Charging If the refrigerant charge needs to be adjusted, be certain to monitor the subcooling and superheat measurements. The subcooling needs to be between 6 F and 8 F when the unit is running fully loaded. The ambient temperature is between 75 F and 100 F and the leaving water temperature is between 40 F and 55 F .
Refrigerant Charging CAUTION Equipment Damage! The evaporator water flow must be established and maintained while adjusting the charge. Refrigerant pressures below 65 psig can cause freezing and rupturing of the evaporator tubes. Low Side Repairs If the refrigerant charge needs to be isolated in the high side of the unit, perform the following procedures: 1.

Refrigerant Charging 2. Close the discharge service valve. 3. Before closing the liquid line service valve, attach a manifold gauge set to the liquid line valve backseat port. 4. Close the liquid line service valve. 5. Attach the inlet of a liquid transfer pump to the manifold gauge set and the outlet to the 1/4”...
Diagnostics In the table below, a latching diagnostic is a condition which shall cause the machine or a portion of the machine as noted to shut down and shall require a manual reset to restore operation. A diagnostic that is non-latching shall reset automatically when the condition causing the diagnostic goes away.
