Foundation; Clearances - Trane R Series Installation Operation & Maintenance

Installation - Mechanical

Foundation

Provide rigid, non-warping
mounting pads or a concrete
foundation of sufficient strength and
mass to support the unit operating
weight (that is, including completed
piping, and full operating charges of
refrigerant, oil, and water). Refer to
General Data Section for operating
weights. After it is in place, the unit
must be level 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.

Clearances

Provide enough space around the
unit to allow the installation and
maintenance personnel unrestricted
access to all service points.
Unobstructed flow of condenser air
is essential to maintain chiller
capacity and operating efficiency.
When determining unit placement,
give careful consideration to
ensuring a sufficient flow of air
across the condenser heat-transfer
surface.
In case of enclosure around the unit,
the height of the enclosure must not
be higher than the unit. If the
enclosure is higher than the unit,
restrictive airflow louvers should be
fitted to ensure fresh air supply.
