Installation: Mechanical - Trane CVGF500 Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Installation: Mechanical

Storage
If the chiller is to be stored for at least one month prior to installation, observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
• Do not remove the protective coverings from the electrical panel.
• Store the chiller in a dry, vibration-free, secure area.
• At least every three months, attach a gauge to the service valve and manually check
the pressure of dry nitrogen in the refrigerant circuit. If the pressure is below 5 psig (34
kPa) at 70°F (20°C), call a qualified service organization and the appropriate Trane sales
office.
Location Requirements Noise Considerations
• Locate the unit away from sound-sensitive areas.
• Install the isolation pads or isolation springs under the unit.
• Use rubber boot-type isolators for all water piping at the unit.
• Use lexible electrical conduit for inal connection to the UPC.
Note: Consult an acoustical engineer for critical applications.
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete foundation of sufficient
strength and mass to support the chiller operating weight (including completed piping
and full operating charges of refrigerant,
oil and water).
After the chiller is in place, level the chiller within 1/4" (6 mm) over its length and
width. Trane is not responsible for equipment problems resulting from an improperly
designed or constructed foundation.
Vibration Eliminators
• Use rubber boot-type isolators for all water piping at the unit.
• Use lexible electrical conduit for inal connection to the UPC.
• Isolate all pipe hangers and be sure they are not supported by main structural beams
• Make sure that the piping does not put additional stress on the unit.
Note: Do not use metal braidedtype eliminators on the water piping. Metal braided
eliminators are not effective at the frequencies at which the unit
