Drainage
A large capacity drain must be provided for water vessel
drain-down during shutdown or repair. The evaporator is
provided with drain connections. An air vent on top of the
Sound power levels
evaporator water box prevents vacuum by removing air
from evaporator for complete drainage.

Dirt, scale, products of corrosion, and other foreign
material will adversely affect heat transfer between the
water and system components. Foreign matter in the
chilled-water system can also increase pressure drop and
consequently, reduce water flow. Proper water treatment
must be determined locally, depending 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 an
unpredictably shorter life cycle. Trane encourages the
employment of a reputable water treatment specialist,
familiar with local water conditions, to assist in this
1000
2000
determination and in the establishment of a proper water
37

40

treatment program.

CAUTION! If using an acidic commercial flushing

solution, construct a temporary bypass around the
42

unit to prevent damage to internal components of
45

the evaporator. Trane assumes no responsibility for

equipment failures which results from untreated or
53
47
improperly treated water or saline or brackish water.

If calcium chloride is used for water treatment, an
49
40
applicable corrosion inhibitor must also be used. Failure
53
47
56
50
to do so may result in damage to system components. Do
not use untreated or improperly treated water. Equipment
damage may occur.
